Response to the California Now Show

Examining the California Now Show, I enjoyed the Caught in the Act video by Eleanor Antin.  She attempts to pose for a still photograph in pointe shoes.  Unexperienced, she needs assistance to stand and hold balance.  Therefore, she has a man hold one end of a stick for her guidance.  She lets go of the stick for a split second as her photographer captures the still image successfully.  This movie reminds me of the theory of dream big.  Although Eleanor clearly cannot preform as a ballerina, she pretends she is capable of that talent.
