Performing Bubbles

The Piece:
Materials:
-Large white paper
-Bubble stuff and wands (2)
-Food Coloring (2)

What to do:
-Two people choose at random one of two bubble bottles that have already been colored each with a different color
-They have to blow the bubbles onto the paper to make a square outline with the bubble ink
-It is key to have the bubble wand very close to the paper while blowing bubbles.For the best bubbles, the wand should be far enough away from the paper to create a bubble but close enough to for the bubble to touch the paper before it leaves the wand.
-The green bottle makes a square at least 5x5 feet on the inside and the blue bottle makes a bigger square on the outside of that square


The Response:
Over all I felt that the piece was successful in what I was expecting. My participants found ways to work together to make their separate parts without making a huge mess on each other. At one point the outside blue square became more blobs that outlines of bubbles. I expected this because it was expected for the green to finish first and have to wait for the blue. I thought it was a fun activity and that it showed how a tedious activity can really try on a person's patience.

I participated in two other performance pieces. The first was to have a conversation with my partner by saying our phrases backwards. I found it hard to come up with a good response even if I was trying to figure out something really general to say. The second performance piece was with the same partner. We had to say relating words one after the other and then eventually act out relating words. The acting out was hard because we had to first decide what the other person was portraying and then figure out how to act appropriately. It turned out to be really fun.
