Pretentious bollocksPossibly the worst event I ever went to was an evening of turntablists in London. The lights went down, the first guy put a cymbal onto a turntable, dropped the needle on it and left it making screeching noises for ten minutes.
When the lights came up, half the audience had snuck out.
What's the most pretentious rubbish you've ever been to see in the name of art?

I used to teach dramaDrama itself tends to attract pretentious people, and drama teachers are no exception.
I used to teach in community/achievement centres in deprived neighbourhoods which meant I could teach pretty much what I liked - no curriculum for me!
So what did I teach these 10-year-olds who we'd dragged in from the local crack den? Pretending to be a tree? Guess the animal?
No, I insisted on doing Shakespeare and the concept of satire.
And you know what? The kids loved it. : )
