Firstly, a question: Is it "tomOkan" or "Tom-ah-kin" (like the Native American tool thing??)
Now description: In lieu of my typical innate response to do it all, and the likelihood I would freak out and be less than successful, I have re-thought this assignment (shocking I am sure).
I am now doing a photo book on memory as self identity, and I will focus on some of my memories and how they have been integrated into my self identity- but I didn't want to limit myself to the theatre major box, so I am not. I am exploring all the different identities, activities, and values I have (as an actor, musician, and "lawyer") . I will do pages on myself and what I think defines me, as well as a few pages on two of my close friends from theatre, and show how the way someone is "presented" in a play, or in a yearbook, is not all there is to them. I am going to be presenting this in somewhat of a year-book essence, as my friend Kevin is an athlete, as well as psychology major, and my other friend Morgan is an art history major as well as theater, and is also in a sorority. Not going to lie...I'm pretty stoked for this now.
Namaste.
really cool idea meghan i like it! though to clarify Morgan (i assume you mean Roman) isn't in a sorority anymore so maybe look for another dimension for her.
ReplyDeleteNope. Morgan Williams haha
ReplyDeleteMeghan Ryan Gordon! I really like this idea of a yearbook and what it means. Also you're pretty. Okay but really a yearbook is a really interesting example of how memory is contained and preserved, especially since every high school in the world (okay, U.S.) puts a ton of effort into creating yearbook after yearbook to try to preserve their histories. And, just as some of our readings for class have said, this is a time in our lives (high school - now) that we are likely to remember clearly later on in life because they are so formative, making the yearbook memory time extra important. I also think it will be even more interesting to put yourself into that yearbook because it will make it more interesting for you, and probably all of your critics!
