In Context (capstone), we have to do presentations at the end of each of our projects. The play we're starting working on now is When We Dead Awaken, but Ibsen. Main themes include the destructive qualities of first love and the way loss can overtake us.
Our presentations are all supposed to start with "attention devices," which are little things to make the audience sit up and listen. There's about a 95% chance that I'll be a director for this project, and thus expected to lead my presentation. I am so badly tempted to go for the horribly awkward attention device of making direct eye contact with Mike and clearly telling him that he broke my heart and rendered me dead and useless... To show how the play is still relevant today. It would be so delightfully awkward, but I would get shit for it. Sometimes, people just don't get my ability to abuse myself without it being self-pity. That would just be me taking advantage of a great opportunity for really getting the audience on edge, as they all know basically everything about us.
