Nic, Aislinn, Joey, Brad:
The way Nic was talking about the fetishization of the podium and how it is a symbol of power for leaders reminded me of this performance I saw. You can only spot it in this trailer for a couple seconds between 0:43 and 0:49, but the performer with the foam hand/finger would point at other performers and the audience in a deeply confronting way. I think it took on its own power beyond its identity as an inanimate object, and the performer's character knew how to exploit this.

***I missed the Tuesday showings, but from the tidbits I've heard from Ariel and Olivia about their groups, I will go for it.
Nick, Mira, Olivia, Steve:
Thinking about a funeral ceremony for Mother Earth-- I was reminded of this work by Teac Damsa because it deals with ritual and death in an interesting way, positioning lively ceremonies (birth) up against an underlying remnant of destruction and expiration. (It's a take on the story of Swan Lake).
Sky, Ariel, Ines, Geoff, Nick:
A truth that is hidden and multiple layers that prevent us from uncovering the truth-- makes me think of language getting in the way. From a sonic perspective, here's Avis 4 by Georges Aperghis. I'm assuming this is not the aesthetic you're going for at all, but it still creates a pile of information that feels difficult to sift through in an attempt to chip at the crux of the issue.
