They came today for an introduction to the parade and pageant, which included a personal tour with Gordan, Nina and JJ showing them fire dancing, paper mache Akin's giant float (pictured above) and start brainstorming ideas for the pageant.
Organization: Shih Chen University
Group: 20 First Year College Students, Design Department, Architecture
Assignment: 1) Ask them to do whatever I need for the pageant, they will live, eat, and sleep at Dream Community for 10 days 2) As of right now, they will make the flower for the pageant, make robot costumes and be in the pageant as robots. . .but also or instead be animals. . .not sure yet.
Today I gave them an assignment to design a flower with very specific measurements that would have the movement to grow, breathe, die and come alive again. They will present their ideas on Tuesday, then me and the other artists will design the flower based on their ideas. It's interesting process that I am into.
