Stop. Look. Go.: A Solo Show of My Own Design

Abstract

“Stop. Look. Go.” follows BP, a young man confronted with his mortality while in (or what he perceives to be) limbo, the void that is neither heaven nor hell. Guided by LORIEN, an enthusiastic and seemingly omniscient voice with the power to bring visions to reality, BP learns to be grateful for the events of his life instead of fixating on what could’ve been. Inspired by a study in brain activity during the process of death and a TED talk addressing happiness and gratitude, “Stop. Look. Go.” asks its audience, “What would you dream if you realized it was your last moment in existence?” The following describes the process of creating a narrative consisting of interchangeable pieces in hopes to be adapted for future audiences.
