Laurie Anderson - Live

Langue d'Amour - woman and the snake, 'woman in love' - white shirt in the background- symbol the language of love. Mine is a dressing-gown. Connections everywhere if only you look.
Sharkey's Day - backing band, dressed like a man - gestus - 'world music' influences - big pixelated symbols in background - planes - joy - choreographed - lots of gestus, Laurie leads
Zero and One - visually first half, gimp suits, clumsy, ugly graphics and generally visually - BUT extreme grace and fluidity of her dancing. Masks- what are the influences and what do they mean? Interesting because her face is a huge storytelling tool she employs. Is her voice faintly patronising like a primary school teacher's, and is she mimicking authority with this? This time it's her body communicating only. Removes the fame of her face.
