Performance – “Look at ME”

My performance starts off from a quiet chanting of “Look at me” as I make four different hand actions.

The four actions are:

  1. moving my hands in a rotational way before me along the level of my torso (While saying “Look at me!”). when I want to project my idea to someone, my hands move outwards to convey what I mean .
  2. raising my hands in the air and pointing at the ceiling to check if there is a roof above me or not (While saying “Look at me!”).
  3. patting my face frantically (While saying “Look at me!”).
  4. patting my chest frantically (While saying “Look at me!”).
  5. Repeats actions above.

As I progress through the actions, my voice increases in volume. I become more agitated and dramatic in my actions, such that my actions no longer follow an order and I start pulling at my hair.
