When we were looking for project ideas, we looked at the media art piece Emoticam by Dan Dakamoto and thought it would be interesting to further delve into the difference between what we type and what we are really feeling. A scenario that we felt really captured this difference between text and meaning, would be two people in a relationship texting. We eventually narrowed our scope to a girl, Sarah, nervously texting her crush, Brad, while hoping he will take her to homecoming.
With this scenario in mind, we decided we wanted to do a comedic performance so we looked into texting stereotypes that would be prevalent in such a scenario. Buzzfeed has several videos that outline this difference between the text being sent and the meaning hidden in the text. We took these stereotypes and exaggerated them for the performance.
