University of California, Berkeley, November 21, 1985.

This is a performance from the first UCB series in the mid- eighties [we were an official series then unlike the 00's ].  At the time I was filming FEISTO [see http://vimeo.com/24595844].  I had to shave all my hair off for the film.  So I thought why not have people at this performance shave me.  As you can see, I had a hard time getting them to really do it!

The woman who is giving herself a tattoo is a reporter who wrote a great story about the performance.
