The general questions of this day were: "What would happen if you made characters from balloons?" and "What would happen if you drank 4 one liter press pots of coffee between 3 people in less than 3 hours?" We intended to find out and found out more about ourselves than we wanted.

A tortoise. For Odyssey, was the initial thought. |
|||
Behold the proto-hare. We eventually gave the Odyssey thought up and didn't use the balloon animals. We used toys, narration, a box (to hold the toys) and object manipulation. We confused our audience, but not enough for them to ask themselves if what we were doing was puppetry. |
|||
From puppets masks seemed to be the next area of discovery to move into. | |||
But nothing seemed correct. Nothing leapt out at us.... |
|||
So, out came the wigs. Not much came of that either. But if we ever do a production of Medea, we are ready. |
|||
The ultimate verdict of the Afternoon Balloon & Coffee Project was that we drink entirely too much coffee and that a change in venue was required. After reconvening at the local coffee house it was decided that another project with better documentation and less coffee was needed. |
