The Cameo Theater on Colonial near Mills was the venue for an
Emotions Dance Company event called Seven Deadly Sins. When I arrived,
the first thing I saw in the theater’s plate glass windows was Brian
Feldman who sat on a worn and tattered recliner staring at a TV which
was showing nothing but static. Brian had a remote control, but for
this 30 hour performance he was personifying Sloth so he never had the
ambition to change the channel. There was also a Fake Aquarium
with animated fish swimming about. I immediately sat on my portable
stool and started to sketch. Several times people passed by that I knew
so I paused for a moment to say hello. A drummer set up camp right next
to me, leaned over and asked "Hey, I love your stool. Any chance I
could borrow it?” I was working so I had to say "No”. He began putting
out plastic buckets of varying sizes and before I knew it he was
banging out a very loud beat. He must have banged on those cans for
close to an hour and I found it hard to concentrate. I probably rushed
this sketch a bit since I wanted to get inside away from the noise. If
Brian noticed the drumming, he never showed any interest, he just
stared listlessly at the static screen and ate Cheerios.
Tisse Mallon, who organized the event, came outside and said to me,
"Brian is very proud of the Game of Life that is in the foreground. He
replaced LIFE with SLOTH”. Feeling a bit slothful myself, I hadn’t even
noticed, so I went back and added that detail to the sketch. Inside the
theater, there were semi-nude dancers painted to represent the 7 deadly
sins. I spent some time trying to figure out which sin each
represented. They moved in slow motion constantly gesturing in an
abstract sinuous ongoing performance. There were also staged acts
throughout the night. This was a fun event and sketch outing.
