Intermedia 1220 Final Portfolio

Given: The performace score that I wrote was focused on the ideas of showing appreciation to the people around you that mean alot to you. This idea follows along some of the same lines as gift giving. I decided to have the recipient of the score give someone they care about a compliment in pig latin, and record how the person responded and how they felt about presenting the compliment. my reason for wanting the compliment to be in pig latin was because I thought it'd would kind of lighten the mood, open up dialog and perhaps create an unknown reaction to the compliment.

‘Frida’ Synopsis

The life of a woman who endured so much pain yet displayed so much passion, Frida takes you on a journey into the life of Frida Kahlo. Starting at a young age, Frida proved her individuality and tendency to go against the grain to be the grit of her ambition towards life. Frida is the story of a great artist who turned tragedy into her reason to live, starting at a young age with a crippling trolly accident that goes on to impact the rest of her life and moving on into struggles with her marriage to the Mexican mural artist, Diego Rivera. Many know Frida based upon her marriage to Rivera more than as a painter in her own right, but her work was one thing that Diego often marveled over. Her ability to paint and capture emotion, pain, and struggle is quite amazing and that’s what her work is known for. This film also gives a great history timeline of not only Frida and Diego’s life but also the historical and political events taking place in the 20s and 30s, which help you understand the times in which they were living. The film all and all focuses on capturing time and is able to effectively compress the life of Frida Kahlo into 2 hours worth of content successfully. Frida’s struggle with accepting Rivera’s “sickness” of infidelity along with her own trials; loss of a child, physical pain, and ultimately Rivera’s betrayal, give you the sense of the continuous obstacles that were her life. Yet, this beautiful, heart wrenching art Kahlo produces seems to take those obstacles and place them on canvas and although they’re specific to her own situations, I think it’s safe to say they’re relatable to the human experience. Frida’s life can easily be seen as tragic but when you’re able to look closer you see that Frida was a vessel for passion that seemed to outweigh her tribulations in every way. More so than the tragedy of physical ailments and emotional exhaustion is this ability to cope and this is the message being delivered to us through the life and work of Frida Kahlo
