Fringelog 2010: The Human Body Project *****

I’m really kind of speechless about this one. I was saying before that nothing this Fringe has really blown my mind, and I suppose it’s appropriate that I’d find it in the last play I saw. This stuff is powerful. Tasha Diamant comes out naked, and through her vulnerability the audience can find theirs. Several people were willing to shed their clothes, including the two people I was there with. One of whom is generally quite fearless, and yet became noticeably shaken by the experience. This was the first time I ever saw that.

And I think every one of those people who got naked is a brave, beautiful person. And everyone who shared their own story was as well. Because of where my head was at while watching, I was barely controlling my emotional state as it was and participating more would have been very very difficult for me, and that just makes me admire the people who did all the more.

So for various reasons I wasn’t in the right headspace in this to get everything I should have out of it. I definitely plan to get another chance some day. I highly recommend that if you ever get a chance to participate in this, you do.
