The Tank (Part 1)

The Tank is a really cool space, but much different than I expected. In my head, I pictured the lobby bigger (and the bar) and the actual theatre and stage a little smaller. What I really enjoed about the whole setup was the fact that everything was up to us. There were no "rules," we go to do whatever we wanted to do in order to increase the efficiency of the performance. Before hand, we were able to collect almost all the movies and music so that when we got to the space, we had that done. What we focused on setting up were the lights, the projectors, and the laptops to run Max MSP.



The picture below is an action shot of the performers warming up. It was interesting to see their techniques but judging by their performance, they seemed to work. I think the most entertaining one was the one where they went in a circle and everyone made up their own "act." Going around the circle, everyone else had to copy that act. Besides the actors, I was pretty happy with the turnout. We had almost everyone from our classes and some extras too. Some were parents and some were locals who stoped in to check out what was going on. Overall, the energy in the Tank was good.
