Live Performance Process and Critique

Process
I really did not know what to do for this project at first so I started thinking about something that I might be able to do well.  i thought about making a quick sketch of something and then making it look awesome in an abstract way, but that requires too much thinking.  Then I thought about being a mime but I thought someone else might do that so I'll just leave it to them.  I then asked Bill if I could do something simple and out of nowhere I said stretching.  What do ya know he said "sure sure. I think that's a great idea and it would be an interesting contrast."  So after that I thought about the different stretches I could do and how I could make the stretches themselves interesting.  Which then made me remember my crazy back stretches that I used to be able to do everyday and I thought that's a winner!!  I then tried to time it so I could do a number of different stretches instead of just one or two like I originally wanted to.

Critique
Some of the classmates thought that what I did looked painful and hard to do (but it actually isn't).  Bill and Kathy thought that my first stretches were better than the last one I did.  It's actually kinda funny now that I think about it because when I practiced my last stretch my back gave out but during the performance my leg muscle jumped and I really was not expecting that.  Looking back I think I should have done what my brother suggested and danced to this song called "Dat Baby Lotion" by a group of boys from Dallas because it would have been fun for me and the crowd to watch me dance like an idiot.
