It's showtime!

This is it! You are about to make our work real. We have been building our world and now it is our job to make sure it can be your world as well, your adventure with your rules. We take our jobs as entertainers very seriously; so, we will be working to find new truths with every step, beat, and flick of a switch. We invite you to discover with us.

Can't wait to have ya!

A random adventure through my rehearsal journal

repetition
sentencing
variation
stillness
pause
silence
exit
audience
body part
limitation
mirroring

aim to put the studies on the stage

content = location

meditate on the choice, let it happen for a bit

the viewer gives real-time feedback

Cotton balls
Black tape
Newspaper
Styrofoam

the viewer contributes to the improvisation

listen.
EXPOSURE

Deconstruction= we take what is known of the form, breaking down familiarity into its parts, changing the physical identity and then reassembling the pieces in new ways. The form is new; but, the sensory connections to the "known" model remain.

Motivations: a defined set of tools.
Motive: points of interest that create artful weaving of motives through variation into ever changing lines, pre-ordained so the viewer knows intuitively where we are going even though the overall composition is being created instantly through an intricate form of theme and variation.

What is a response?
an acknowledgement
a shift
a welcome
support
a pause
a direction change
an exit
an entrance
