(250-350 words) | As we promised to do performance art , our focus was to make it into a short video.we wanted to make our thoughts beautiful through a short video. It was a bit difficult for me to do such a performance as I had no previous experience. Unable to get out of the house in lockdown, we had to perform from our respective homes, Which made it very difficult for us to perform. We first create a story for performance art. Then I start my performance and take pictures through my mobile.Then we try to make a video by editing the picture through the computer.we have mainly used mobile and computer to make our performance art.   | 03 | ||
| Exhibition | ||||
| Exhibition:(Where was the show, how was that platform, who were the spectators, was any other platform (like Shilpakala Academy/permanent campus) better for the show, and why?)(150 -250 words)(Please attach some images/screenshots of your final work and show) | Due to the pendamic the show was organized fully online. We published our performance art on facebook and youtube. As it was posted on facebook my main audience was my family members and friends. After uploading the video on facebook i got enough response and a lot of appreciation from everyone. This is the first time I have done such performance art and it’s really nice to get such appreciation from everyone. I think if the show could be physically hosted somewhere it would be much more enjoyable than online.  | 02 | ||

Viewers get my message.I have tried to give a message to everyone easily through short videos.As a result, viewers easily get their message and relate to themselves. Next time I want to do performance art live in front of the audience. Then we will get energy to perform as the viewers will have fun watching. Our strength was our message that we could easily give the audience. Our fault was that we kept the video duration short and video editing needed to be better.Next time we will try to improve our performance and video editing so that the audience understands the message better.i think this project can encourage me to explore my emotions,expanding my imagination. I feel that if the show was organized in a physical location because it would have been more open to new people and immediate reaction would have been nice to observe. | |||
