Third Performance Reflection

My third performance must concentrate the idea of limitations and privilege. I have decided to focus on how I am not privileged due to my size and lack of thinness. The limitation that was assigned to me is to have my mouth covered for 90% of the performance.

I plan to show the apathy of the struggles of those who are trying to fit in, as well as become an archetype of the fashion industry who is doing little to help fat people feel comfortable in their size.

These lyrics are supposed to show that this is the kind of life that you can have, if you pass the test. If you do not pass the test, then you are doomed to simply listen to these stories and not experience the fun for
