I'm thinking of doing a play for my capstone (thesis-esque master's thing). Interview five women repeatedly- coffee table conversation-like. Use these interviews plus research plus coded blog entries to do a play. Interweaving them to show the experience of pain. Somewhat. An attempt, anyway.
Maybe a series of monologues? I would like to do a piece on "music I can't listen to anymore" about loudness high pitched ness and so on. Death metal. I used to like death metal. And playing the flute. The upper register though. What can you do with migraines?
I threw up from a headache this weekend. Doesn't usually happen unless I've got a migraine. Not sure how that's going to play out. New thing?
Anyway, I'm thinking Laramie Project-esque. Also Vagina Monologues. Maybe a series of vignettes tied in with the lives of a few key figures I've been focusing on- Nietzsche, Beethoven, Virginia Woolf. There has to be someone who's not White (no offense, but I'm worried about this-- need some "research subjects" of color).
A long poem was suggested as well. Anyway, I'll layer in theory. You've seen some of it, if you've been reading. I need to read some more. I need copies of Virginia Woolf's diaries and letters.
Here, an article on famous migraine sufferers.
Miguel de Cervantes? I could definitely tie him in. Lewis Carroll. Van Gogh. Nietzsche, again.
So many possibilities.
