Provocation 7
We're trying something new this week, having the provocation student-initiated. We want both students and people outside our class to feel free to contribute. Clive posed the idea of the Exquisite Corpse exercise, and some of us decided it sounded like fun. So, here's a description of the game and the initial sentence. In the spirit of the game, try to read JUST the LAST response given and write your sentence based on that. Have fun!
Exquisite Corpse is a Surrealist technique of collective collage of words or images. Based on an old parlor game where each person writes a phrase on a sheet of paper, folds the paper to conceal part of it, and passes it on to the next player for his/her contribution.
In our version, we'll write a phrase based on just the last blog entry sentence. Hopefully, if you don't scroll down, you'll only be able to see the last phrase. At the end, we'll have what Nicolas Calas characterized as the "unconscious reality in the personality of the group."
FIRST PHRASE:
It was hard to believe, but there it stood.
