"In this clip about Performance Art, I'm going to talk about reflecting, revising and do it again. Don't just do your Performance Art piece once, I mean, come on, you've worked hard for it, it deserves to be done again and again. Get feedback from your director, from the audience. What worked? Didn't work? You know what, the helmet, it didn't work, it was gimmick, it was, it didn't, people said, "Why were you wearing a helmet"? So you know what, I'm going to do it without a helmet. The glasses, didn't work either because people said, "You know, we can't see your eyes. We can't see any emotion". But, I still like using the glasses, they help convey my concept. So I'm going to use the glasses in the beginning, take them off and then at the end of the piece. You know, you can really use audience and director feedback. The boa. People love the boa, so I'm going to use the boa, but this time I'm going to wrap it around my legs because I'm going to, I'm going to show that, the sexiness of my legs, you know, and how sexy it is to have a rebirth from destruction. So, you know, don't just do your Performance piece once, you owe it to yourself. Do it again, and again. And reflect, revive, make it better. Keep going, don't quit."
