Sonia’s Black Light post (copied from comment)

okay so Aspects of Alice…this was my firt time watching black light theatre, and I was interesting to say the least. Truthfully, I was expecting something more dramatic perhaps, something more breaktaking, however I was still impressed having never seen it before. Now i dont know what to say exactly about the actual show Aspects of Alice because i have nothing to compare it to in terms of story line and acting. As a dancer type person i was impressed with the physicality of a whole show that relies on the body to tell the story. I really liked that aspect of it. It makes it universal, and no language barrier or confusion. The story itself, well, i was alittle bit boring in some parts. The nudity livened it up a bit. I was alittle confused as to why the nudity, but after todays lecture with Lucie, it made sense it terms of shock value. Like she said that Theatre here is aimed to shock, to make the audience feel..positive..negative, whatever as long as it wakes you and rattles your senses. I guess that explains the nudity. I would love to watch more black light shows so i could get a better feel for it, and be able to have a basis of comparison. So yea
