if you're comfortable then you're not really being challenged, and that goes for any kind of art, not just trying to get a reaction
I agree in principle, but the type of thing I'm talking about here is people that are wholly and solely attempting to get shock reactions from their audiences without any clear or thought-out direction to the piece outside of, 'I'm gonna paint on this portrait with poo'
If one paints a portrait with poo the medium used is not in fact poo, it is the reactions of the people that look upon it. The artist is not creating a picture made of faeces, they are making a picture made of raw revulsion. The art is as irrelevant to the final product as a brush is to an oil painting, simply a tool, not the art itself.

HRRRRNNNNGGGG
*shrug*
it makes sense apart from the incorrect equivalence drawn between poo and a brush when it should be between poo and paint

How so? Paint is the medium of the artwork. The image is rendered in paint, here the image is rendered in the viewer. The tool used to create each is the brush and the poo.

no see he's not taking a piece of poop and dipping it in paint and then painting a portrait
he's smearing poop across a canvass to make a portrait

Yes but the portrait painted in poo is just the tool to create the actual portrait in flesh, the portrait of the reaction of the viewer. This is how all "provocative" art works, the actual artwork itself is largely irrelevant. It's artistic trolling, the important part isn't object, duchamp's urinal wasn't the important part, it's the reaction and the controversy.

yeah but it's a cleaner analogy to compare the poo and the paint

Sure, but it undermines the argument. It's too obvious, doesn't leave as much room for bullshit.
I'm not sure if I have it lying around anymore, but basically there are two award ceremonies in what was my branch of amateur theatre, the guilds and the lyrebirds, sort of like the oscars and the golden globes respectively
I was asked to do a report on the lyrebirds
most of the reports from previous years were 'it was fun, people dressed up, here's everyone who won'
my report was 'wow, everyone is really drunk and doesn't at all seem to be caring about this beyond an excuse to party, this ceremony is kind of silly and self-serious, oh hey the show directed by the president of the awards committee won all the awards, how interesting'
I literally had legal action threatened against me

Funny, was just talking about theater with Dave on Facebook earlier! I discovered that good performances are going to be in town shortly and I wish I had someone to see them with. I miss theatre, both performing and attending.
I performed in high school productions of "You Can't Take It With You", "Macbeth", and some smaller shows. Was always a blast.

I have never acted but I have done some cabaret. But mostly I just like going to plays. Even weird avant-garde german plays set in new york where halfway through the cast sing a song about tofu.

My theater experience is I played the donkey in a pre-school production of the Nativity
and the Maître d (I think) in Hello Dolly in 8th grade
I think I'm a pretty good actor.

I love acting. I absolutely adore it. I wish I had better voice control so I could do consistent VA work. One of my greatest regrets is that I cannot sing.
I'd join an improv group if there was a decent one around.
Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
That probably doesn't count, does it, when you're flogging off cheap warehousing
Never acted in a proper capacity, but goddamn do I know a lot of "theatre people". They are, without exception, either interesting and downright awesome or they're so far up their own arses that they make the average writer look like a paragon of humility and grace.

I did some plays during high school, inlcuding one mini-play I wrote. Trying to commit lines to memory was a trying (but ultimately rewarding) experience.
Actually, a couple of months ago, a customer recognised me and complimented me on one of my performances. Which would have been 4 or 5 years ago.

did a lot of acting in high school, small parts, etc
met a girl when I was right out of high school, fell incredibly in love with her, did a lot of amateur theatre mostly due to dating her at the time
wrote an article on a shitty local theatre website that really pissed a lot of people off
broke up with the girl and fucked the director of a show I was in at the time
slowly lost interest
ended up at a gathering of local theatre people, realized I hated everyone there, went off to make my own films and never looked back
the end!

There was a dark section so it seemed like a pretty good opportunity to pick my nose.
At that moment the lights came on real bright and one of the actors was looking right at me.
I'm performing Leading Ladies for the UIL one-act competition this spring. It'll be interesting to do but should be a lot of fun!
