This could be an amazing lipdub source too. Esp. if zombies were involved.

I would love to see a group lipdub of this song. Esp. with different people trading off for the lil mamma verses.

Bill Shannon. Crutchmaster. Dancer. Phenomenally fantastic speaker. So many great ideas to process.
I particularly like his notion of a continuum of disability. He “can” walk but uses crutches to ease pain that would eventually ensue. He states that while some people look down on this state of affairs they would not go up to a person wearing glasses saying ” Take those off. I know you’re not blind…” Very enjoyable and accesible material here. Watch all of it if you have the time. Well worth it.

question:
the lipdubs aren’t due tomorrow, are they?
The 3 lipdubs are your final project. I expect to see them on the last day of class. Tomorrow we need to get DVDs burned of what you’ve done so far in the class.

Someone posted a link awhile back....
tba:
to a page connected with Alex Itin. He’s one of my contacts on Flickr and Vimeo. Been searching people’s blogs to find out who it was. Let me know if it was you.That was me. He does a blog called IT IN place, and he’s affiliated with the Institute for the Future of the Book, a site I came upon in my quest for what it means to write in today’s media-rich environment. Is writing more than just words on a page? Does it include images/audio/video? Does it include the transferring of information? If all of that is not writing, it is at least composing (for me). From Patricia Bizzell (What is “Composing”?):
“‘Composing’ usually refers to all the processes out of which a piece of written work emerges. During composing, the writer may spend some time musing, rereading notes or drafts, or reading the texts of others, as well as actually putting words on the page herself.”
For me, my tumblr blog is a tool in the composing process. It is where I (too infrequently) record my musings and the texts of others, and it is where I come to reread the path of my progress toward a cohesive idea. I guess in that sense, it is a map.
I enjoy Alex Itin’s process.
What is your interest in him? How did you find him?
I met Alex on Flickr first, then Vimeo. I had assumed that the link was from one of my students and mentioned it to him after he commented on this video of mine.
If you aren’t already in touch with him, and are interested in becoming so, we should connect the two of you. -Justin
