Urgency

Everything that these masks do automatically becomes a life or death situation. Whether it's going to the bathroom or eating a sandwhich or kissing your grandmother on the cheek, it is NOW or NEVER for these masks. Therefore, urgency is vital!! Through our project, we developed a new term for urgency (it's just too long to say anyways, especially when you're trying to be urgent about something). Urgency = Chong. And don't try looking up Chong on the internet. You won't find code for Urgency....you'll probably only find Asian porn...like I did...

Nevertheless, Urgency (Chong) is crucial when working with masks. If the masks perform actions at the rate of everyday life, then they are nothing special. For that matter, how boring is it to watch an overexaggerated character on stage simply walking! No! Chong!

To practice Chong, we play two games that help us get faster! One is an alteration of "May I? Yes you can!" where you must trade places with another actor within the circle, but while walking there, the person you are exchanging with must find someone else to exchange places with before you get there and so on and so forth. If you are not fast enough, you get a big smack on the butt!
We also have Bottle-Stool Races where two teams have a relay race to demonstrate dominence. Go fast or lose!

Some pictures of funny masks:

Here was a school boy in art class. He had a bad teacher.

Golf during high winds only produces tragedy.

Don't open umbrellas during high winds either.

DEATH!!
