Task 1- Introduction to Blogologues

Blogologue part 1-
Blogologues are a theatrical group that performs sketch comedies of blog posts. They read out things that are usually not read out loud but are read my online users. “Blogologues is a curated, thematic internet extravaganza that gives voice to those texts from last night, what’s overheard in New York, and your missed connections.” (Lively Productions) This entire project assembled during April of 2011. They had their first show in May of 2011. In May 2013 they had a big jump in their project, which was when Guardian hired Blogogues.

Most of their sketches come from what happens on the Internet. Every now and then on the Internet we see new things, such as “Memes”, “Twerking”, “Selfies” and etc. The Blogologues sketches all the things that we see on the Internet onto their stage and they present it to the audience. It is very interesting because what we see on the Internet and read on the internet cant always be portrayed, however this theatrical group makes it possible.

The process of Blogologues-
  1. 1.     To find out the new “thing” on the Internet.
  2. 2.     Ask for permission, before using.
  3. 3.     Plan a sketch to perform to the audience. For example, reading a stupid tweet, acting out a vine and etc.
  4. 4.     Perform it to the audience.


Teens really enjoy this concept because of how interested we are in these new trends that we go trough. Critics find it extremely funny and love seeing people do it again other than the time they have seen it already. Blogologue uses these things that are already there but make it more amusing and better.
