i'd love to. i don't have a skype acct yet. easy?
i watched the vids. i am so proud of them, and you! this shit is wack,
in the best way!!! ahhh, the red chairs :)

possible additions (if appropriate):

it might be seriously disturbing and powerful if, for instance, the
tied/taped/desecrated people were already that way when folks entered the
space, and never came out of character. (the written-on gal had some
SERIOUS stage presence. she was practically a hero-martyr).

along the same lines, if aome of the artists were written
on/objectified/used in some non-standard way by the AUDIENCE rather than
the performers, similar to yoko ono's clothes being removed by the
audience... (any way to implicate, test, dirty, and offer redemption to
the audience) it would, i think, exponentially heighten the experience.
