I was a little nervous, as is probably apparent. I’m pretty stoked that Chris is going to hand the group over to us!

Check out the video here.

I thought you did a great job Justin. It was tough because Evan had it wrong with that CAPP 1 and CAPP 2. I think you handled it well. Great that they showed part of the video too.

I wrote a blog post about the new CAPP

Woodview, ON, CAN – Today [January 28th 2010], The Emperor Recalibrated (Part 1 of 6) was posted at http://storywrite.com/story/391460
 
The Emperor Recalibrated is a modern fable for adults – a retelling of the Hans Christian Anderson classic: “The Emperor’s New Clothes”.

The postings can be found each Tuesday over the next six weeks.

“Political art allows us to suspend reality and to search for understanding and meaning while we are entertained,” said Heather Brooks-Hill. “To play, and play with, facilitates learning through the experience of seeing through a different lens.”

Written by Brooks-Hill, this Emperor fairy tale retold describes the current political arena. Inspired by the original story of arrogance, vanity, fear and naming the truth, this “Recalibrated” Emperor is a modern allegorical tale of roguish behaviour, naivety and the struggle for courage over fear.
