Music Select a piece of music that makes you feel absolutely decadent and glamorous. The music should play from another room (it’s always more cinematic if the music is coming from another room) Space An enclosed room with a bathtub, jacuzzi or, if you're from means, an indoor pool. Any piece with which you can fully immerse yourself in water. Lighting should be bright but not so bright that you don’t feel absolutely decadent and beautiful. Costume Something that makes you feel sexy that you don’t mind geting wet Time For the sake of this study: 3-4 minutes Enter the space as if you had a long day at work. You’re posture is an abstract expression of this exhaustion Using your upper extremities, find the various ways in which to frame your body with relation to the space you're in. Depending on the space, these movements may be small and stunted (for instance, you’ll likely have less space inside a bathroom than if you were doing this score next to a pool). Have a devastating moment at the edge of your body of water Fall backwards and baptize yourself Once fully immersed, find your way out of the tub. You're metamorphosis into a mermaid has officially commenced. You are languid and slippery. A creature of the sea, despondent and indignant at the violent injustice of existing on land. Find your gills Retreat back to the ocean. As Fiona Apple once said, this world is bullshit.
