Day nine started again with Daily Practice with Joe. We started with voluntary stretching then transitioned into an epic physical/movement forty minute exploration. We had class with Stephanie which included crossing the space toward another person, jumping in the middle at the same time, stopping, turning, saying the other person's name (their name or a made-up name), then an attraction or retreat to/from the other person. We then explored masks in the groupings of larval masks, found object masks, full masks, and half masks. We had the afternoon off for the Fourth but spent it in rehearsals for Friday's performances.
Day ten started with Daily Practice with Joe. We stretched, went through our walking sequence, then did headstands, back bends, and tumbling. Performance lab started with our event. Ronlin and the other staff noted that an event transcends the actual to the poetic, attention to detail is important, and an event includes a change in perspective for the audience. The three bag groups went next with the notes that we must believe in the creatures as beings, they must offer mystery, there must be fascination and surprise, and moments of discovery are key. The two large object groups went next. The staff noted the fluid dynamics of the structures, and the importance of exaltation versus manipulating the structures.
Enjoy the Day,
