Goal = observations / insights / inspiration from live performances
Carla Clayy - Punchline, San Francisco
Great use of mannerisms and expressions - great use of silence -
great use of emotional pathos -
almost like playing dumb - deep
black skin and fairly heavy set -
purposely dressed down - very funny - audience genuinely laughing and
giggling - great projection of attitude - threatening, warm and funny
all at the same time - established
persona immediately and thanked everyone for coming and said she
loved us - all said in the beginning - I detected a triple - counted off 3 seconds, funny - knife in the neck punchline - great heart - odd looking - turned liability into asset - manic depressive quality - fascinating - not sure what she will do next - audience feels superior - very drawn into watching her - empathetic experience
