Opera

I would really like to out on a show- maybe an opera/spoken word/musical comedy/monologue- very similar to Shana Moulton's stuff.

Things to work with...

The Supermarket

The Lake of Healing

Macho Macho Playa

I'm your beaky guy.



It would be nice to run these all together in a kind of narrative...

I could lengthen the monologue in the Supermarket- to help build the story. After the breakdown she could go to a meditation centre where she meets professor Rick Clarke who runs the session.

Then they could fall in love.... or something. But it couldn't be too obvious and straightforward...

Maybe Kath will be transported to the beach by the meditation session where she changes gender and experiences life as Arnold Morris, meeting Fabio Guglio on Hunstanton beach. Then maybe they take some drugs and he turns into a fish?

I like the idea of changing gender when you fall in love. For example, the protagonist, Kath, falls in love and then turns into a man. I like it because I think it's funny- and a bit true. When you have a relationship with a member of the opposite sex you can take on some of that gender's positive aspects. But if you really did change gender it would be a bit tragic because your boyfriend would probably stop fancying you.

So maybe after the lake of healing, Kath could turn into a fish swimming free in the lake... then fall in love and turn into a 12 year old boy...
