Thinking of a theme for the MA Show

We need to brainstorm themes for our show. Listed below are a few that we spit out at the last meeting. Please add any ideas about themes that you come up with. As well, if you come across a theme that has been posted already, that you feel could potentially be a winner, please feel free to comment on it, ie: add ideas about how it could be envisioned and executed, or what you think that theme will look like, or how it could come to represent who we are as individuals and how that makes us linked as artists; basicall why it is a good option or why you would vote on it. As well, if you hate something tell us that too. We will take a vote on the posted themes so by adding comments to it could help us to narrow the choices for the vote. Part-timers are welcome to add comments and vote also!!

Themes:

Outside/in
New Battle
Touch Me
Out of the Box
Sushi
Off the Wall
The Jig
Hospital Theme - Born Again, New Born, Made New, Fixed, Surgery .....
Fushion
Messy
Sassy
Squeeze Me
Try Me
J U I C Y
- think of us as lots of differnt, exotic flavors, fruits, colors, blends
Quake
East meets West - West meets East - East and West meet each other and talk like sensible adults
Art on the Move
Cultured in Birmingham
Morphed
Tween
Heart of England
Solider thru the MA

Once we have a theme we can begin to design our posters, flyers, layout and flow of the show - which will be open for contributions from anyone on the course.

hey guys
just one question..
on the off site show that u r talking about arent we just gonna present our work in a way that we want to?? cause i dont understant the reason for a theme.. or if u mean that we r gonna choose a theme that is gonna represent all of us and each one of us is gonna presente work based on that specific theme... can pls someone make that clear for me??:/ thanx

hi moses
you still get to display the work you want in the way that you want, but the theme, i believe (but anyone else can elaborate here as well), is to create a catchy sloan/title and a point at which to start designing posters and flyers and the promo. In addition I think the ambience of the show - the decoration - might revolve around the theme also. its just something to catch people's eye and think that that sounds interesting. does that help? but feel free to express your doubts if you think we are going in the wrong direction. It will be for the UCE show and the off-site show if that happens, as far as we have discussed in the meetings.
