What a fun question!
I think there are lots of kinds of effects that could be used. The hard, and really interesting challenge, I think, is to make the audience FEEL the message. What makes me feel connected to others? For me personally it is often discovering the things we have in common. One thing that we all have in common are the existential givens. According to Irvin D. Yalom (author and therapist) these are: # The inevitability of death (your death and the death of all the people you care about). # Freedom and its attendant responsibility (you have to make choices and take responsibility for them). # Isolation (you are fundamentally alone and no one, no matter how close, can really truly understand you). # Meaninglessness (there is no given meaning or purpose; and I would add that this is often true even for people who adhere to some system of religious thought). So many of Yalom's fantastic case studies are of people who wrestle with these "existential givens". Reading these case studies makes me feel connected to my fellow man. Obviously I am not suggesting that this is THE answer, or that it would suit all performers or performing situations. I am just sharing some ideas. |
