critical anaylisis
I decided to do a critical analysis of Lauren Carlie's performance as a marionette dangling from the tree outside Canon hall. she had herself strung up as it were by ropes attached to a iconic cross shaped controller, though she was controlled by the pulling of her ropes from below due to a simple eye hook system. dressed as a ballerina she was the picturesque icon of a puppet. giving the viewer and the user the ability to control her legs and arms she did not resist any of the abuses she was shown. I truly must applaud Lauren for this as she did not break character for anyone even though it was cold, early, and some of the people who interacted were less than polite. she placed a small chair near her performance site in order to give the viewer the idea that maybe she was getting ready to take a break from all this hanging around any time. that she was completely incapable of this wasn't even a concern the simple placement of the chair gave the impression that it could indeed happen. over all Id like to say that Laurens piece was a magnificent performance, and showed that she could indeed endure some troubling and uncomfortable situations.
