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