Ping Pong
2002
instructor: Irma Boom
actor: Anita Lee

Last September, at the beginning of the fall semester, Irma hosted a two-week workshop. During the first meeting, Irma prepared sixteen words on sixteen little pieces of paper and everyone drew lots. She explained that each word should be the starting point of a project. Almost everyone else received generic words such as "decadence," "spiritual" or "anthropology," while I got "Anita," who is one of my classmates.

At that time, we had just moved to our new work stations in the window side of the studio (also by drawing lots) and Anita happened to sit next to me! During the whole first year, Anita and I hadn't talked much. "Maybe this is fate?" I thought. "Anyway, it's a good start to know my neighbor Anita."
