Speak Up
The project is to help raise awareness about sexual violence on campus and the changes that can be made. The performance involves hard-hitting statistics. We needed a very large group of people for a short amount of time. Participants stood in one spot for 15 minutes. It was simple and hopefully helped raise awareness.
We hoped that seeing bodies will help people visualize and bring the statistics to life, which can drive the point home a lot better than just numbers. Participants were asked to show up least 10 minutes early and wear a red shirt — this part was mandatory and important to the aesthetics and the message of the whole performance.
