<--------- Tubby Sipps, assessment examiner
Hello, everyone!!! Shaun here!!! I'm just so amazingly excited because - although I've yet to hear - I think I did really really well at my assesment thingy!!! This is so important - not just for me, but also for the theatre establishment generally!!! Because I am the new voice, the guy who could well bring about a new way of envisioning theatre!!! As those of you who know me well will know well, I chose to explore the important theme of Boredom in the Arts in my final 20-minute presentatiuon... I consulted my thesaurasus (a big book that Tifton College gives all its students on the first day so that they can substitute long difficult words for those easy ones you find in tabloid papers) and came up with the following:
ENNUI AND PRAXIS: TOWARDS A DISTANT OBJECTIVE IN THE ARTS
The judging panel - Vernon, Tubby Sipps (a practitioner of mime) and Thelma Wasp (from the Arts Council of Tifton - sat in awed silence as I spoke thusly (I have printed it in full so as to afford you a glimpse into my ethos):
It has long been my theorem that - while not untowardly genetic in its praxis - the Arts generally, and occasionally in more specific instances, can wholly be afforded the nominem of dullity (or tediosity), owing to the prevalation of TV-ness (to coin a phrase) in our media-saturated existence. I think it was Pietro Hoopla, the Dutch bioligist and pundit, who opined:
'Each society extends its governance exponentially (viz, 67x by ambrose) insofartoward it can, and it is this irony we choose to call sun-down...'
A little research will unveil the extraordinary and yet vivid praxis of Michelangelo's bottom, carved in three inch styrofoam in the Sistine Chapel, yet howmsoever it be sculpted, such a posterior only underscores the fluid emergence of viscosity in the Arts or even, Arse.
Actually, I won't continue, because the whole essay is available for download in PDF form from www.tiftonwanker.com
The important thing is that I am sure I have now got my MFA!!! Certinly, I have yet to officially hear, but Vernon smiled nicely at me as I wound up, and I'm sure the suppressed laughs from the rest of the panel were as good an indication of my humorus gifts!!!
We shall see!! In the meantime, I have begun a new play - a summation of all what I have lerned. I shan't tell you what its about except this: it features an onstage act so shocking that no-one will leave the theatre unaffected... There's also going to be a very good part for a dwarf, if I can find one who can speak Urdu.
Keep in touch, okay!!!
