“Dr McCallahan enters Lincoln University…”

On the day of the performance I got up early and applied each piece of gelatine on my face and blended all the lines with liquid latex. I then used a foundation colour, slightly darker than my own to blend the appliances into my natural skin. i also applied some liquid latex to the back of my hands and with a bit of paint they became wrinkled also.

And voilà!

The Character of Dr. Anthony McCallahan (finally thought of a name!) was formed.

The performance itself went well. I made the audience laugh and I interrupted the flow of the performance with phone calls. I was true to my research into Eric Bogosian and I used laughter as a means of a distracting technique to break up the action of the presentation.  With some feedback from my peers it was said that the prosthetics were very good and very believable though when I went onto the phone some seems could be seen.

On reflection if I was to do this performance again I think I would advertise it earlier on as didn’t receive any students from the wider course of the university at attendance. This may due to it being May time where they will have exams and possibly have returned home for the summer. But I am pleased with how I performed and it was well received by the audience.
