Recess

Last night I saw "Recess" at the mai space. It is indeed wonderful- Una Aya Osato successfully uses only herself to portray five young children (6 and 7 year olds) and their teacher Miss White in a Bronx public school. The use of film was perfect, the characters all have lives of their own, and while at first I was surprised at how BIG she was playing children (I've seen too many adults overdo performing as children- they're not cartoons, they're not animals and they're not stupid), they were very well cared for and realistic. 

Very good points are made about the current education system in America- and of course there are incredibly similar problems here. I would recommend this show to anyone, and there are only two performances left. Go go go. 

In the selfish news- jointPredicament has a show tonight! We're at 9:45 in Venue 8 (Mission Santa Cruz). Come see!
