As part of my home work I thought I'd look up different images of Germaine Greer to decorate Germaine's shrine.
I think I just hit the flaming jackpot guys. Feel free to be not as excited as me but look at this:

It's only a picture of A POTATO decorated as Germaine Greer!!! Genius, it's a sign!!!
I've been thinking about food buffets, partly because our experience has involved eating strawberries and chatting and also it's something which fits an interval. What do you do in a performance interval - you go to the loo and you (after washing your hands) go and get a drink and some snacks. We could have an entire themed food trolley!! The bar could serve bloody marys called "my friend said that Germaine said you're not a real feminist until you taste your own period blood". (I just explained this idea to my housemate who added "and the room should be lit by the flames of burning bras") Or maybe we should just have a Germaine shaped potato effigy in the shrine, and I should calm myself down. Either/or.
What I really love about Germaine's shrine making something comic from the stereotype of Germaine being a feminist Idol. I don't know if she is. She isn't my idol.
I feel very comfortable about us concluding that we have no fixed conclusions about what feminism is, what it should be now and how we should respond to the challenge we set ourselves. In fact I feel more confident about having no conclusions. I think part of the performance should include talking, if we are having a discussion, about what the new word for feminism is. I think the performance about conversation should include a genuine conversation with an audience, who feel comfortable contributing.
On the topic of finding GG photos, there are some great google images we can download. I'll bring as many objects in as possible tomorrow
