Performance – Body - Spaces you inhabit proposal

My performance will consist of me in front of the classroom with a stool set up in front of me with three fresh chilli peppers on top. I will begin my performance by eating a chilli pepper. I will then address the class when saying that I need someone to go out and buy me a drink or provide a glass of water to fill to help assuage the burning sensation created by the chilli pepper. I will provide another student with a video camera that is somehow connected to the projector in the classroom. With the camera, that person will follow the person with the glass as they go out to get me a drink. The intended result will be to have me in front of the class suffering the effects of the chilli pepper while suspense is created by the anticipation of desperately wanting a glass of water and being able to see the progress of the journey to bring me water projected on the screen behind me. Participation may also be asked of a student prior to the performance to handcuff me and hide the key and told only to retrieve it after a countdown of five minutes. The difficult part about this presentation will be trying to find a means to project a live feed from a wireless camera onto the projector in front of class.
