0:00:34.869,0:00:35.997
How did that look?

0:00:36.686,0:00:37.310
Pretty good?

0:00:38.699,0:00:42.062
Did it seem like I was scrolling my IPad or IPhone?

0:00:45.060,0:00:47.951
So that's the sort of part I need to coordinate

0:00:47.951,0:00:50.787
before I go - is getting that timing right.

0:00:50.787,0:00:53.525
With obviously not your fingers but you whole body.

0:00:53.525,0:00:54.871
Right. Yeah. Right

0:00:55.686,0:00:58.272
This is my wig bag - all wigs.

0:00:59.811,0:01:01.172
Well, and some bags.

0:01:05.806,0:01:11.704
Okay - wig, book light, I think that's it.

0:01:11.704,0:01:12.655
Oh, I have a list.

0:01:18.424,0:01:19.598
I got it!

0:01:22.455,0:01:26.328
So I hadn't been performing so much before I came

0:01:26.328,0:01:29.881
to New York and then I also didn't have a studio then,

0:01:29.881,0:01:31.679
I was so broke when I moved here.

0:01:31.679,0:01:35.188
So, I decided to try to build the set with stuff

0:01:35.188,0:01:37.549
that I could animate on my computer.

0:01:39.790,0:01:43.569
So that was like the first time I made this decision

0:01:43.569,0:01:46.478
to scale down and make this portable performance.

0:01:51.685,0:01:54.509
Um, it's usually like me running around on the

0:01:54.509,0:01:57.675
subway or maybe a car service if I'm feeling

0:01:57.675,0:01:59.793
really glamorous -

0:01:59.793,0:02:03.553
with all my props, you know, on my arms

0:02:03.553,0:02:07.234
and setting up half an hour before

0:02:07.234,0:02:08.512
the performance starts.

0:02:28.732,0:02:30.820
With these performances I don't really know

0:02:30.820,0:02:33.427
exactly how big this projection will be,

0:02:33.427,0:02:35.278
you know, in relationship to my body.

0:02:36.278,0:02:38.641
You know, if I'm like, taller than this projection

0:02:38.641,0:02:40.210
then that's not really going to work.

0:02:42.837,0:02:46.187
The worst is like if I get there and I can't

0:02:46.187,0:02:50.911
test, you know, the DVD in the projection.

0:02:51.757,0:02:53.207
And I hate that feeling

0:02:53.207,0:02:54.939
of not being totally prepared.

0:02:56.017,0:02:56.690
Yeah?

0:02:56.690,0:02:57.299
Yeah.

0:02:57.299,0:02:58.511
Cool!

0:03:05.079,0:03:08.199
You know, at an opening, the attention span is

0:03:08.199,0:03:11.563
you know, at a certain level and something

0:03:11.563,0:03:15.708
a lot longer than ten minutes is just like too long

0:03:15.708,0:03:18.778
or - I mean especially for my work - it's not about -

0:03:18.778,0:03:21.867
it's not really about that kind of challenge.

0:03:21.867,0:03:23.841
How's the makeup looking?

0:03:23.841,0:03:25.390
Gettin' there.

0:03:25.390,0:03:26.462
Okay.

0:03:30.519,0:03:33.077
Sometimes people don't realize that I'm

0:03:33.077,0:03:37.038
in a costume - they just think I'm the wacky woman

0:03:38.587,0:03:39.828
skulking in the back!

0:03:41.482,0:03:42.225
Are you starting?

0:03:42.225,0:03:42.728
Yeah.

0:03:42.728,0:03:43.891
Oh, okay.

0:03:43.891,0:03:45.837
I wanted - I didn't realize you were out here.

0:03:45.837,0:03:47.480
Oh, I'll be right behind you.

0:03:47.480,0:03:48.114
Okay.

0:04:16.710,0:04:19.198
Leading up to the performance is totally

0:04:19.198,0:04:22.088
nerve-wracking but once I've started I love it.

0:04:22.088,0:04:24.187
I'm like having a great time.

0:04:41.315,0:04:42.958
I eat pink!

0:04:47.484,0:04:50.362
[Applause]

0:05:00.297,0:05:04.297
Yeah, it was a nice response, wasn't it?

0:05:04.297,0:05:06.594
Yeah, yeah, it was happy.

0:05:06.594,0:05:09.242
I mean people tend to respond positively,

0:05:09.242,0:05:12.111
you know, for most performance -

0:05:12.111,0:05:16.694
so, I don't know if I can really go off that as,

0:05:16.694,0:05:20.527
you know, a gauge for how successful it really was

0:05:20.527,0:05:24.275
but, I felt all right about it, ya know?

0:05:27.664,0:05:30.404
You know, it's a job.

0:05:33.266,0:05:36.594
As long as I'm prepared it works out fine.
