(Hey, I think I might finally have the sound situation sorted out. Let me know if there’s still anything weird in terms of background noise or an audible hiss when I talk.)

YTG

  • We’ve wrapped up week three of rehearsals for “Oblique”
  • It was good to have her back this week for two intense movement sessions but Wednesday was Monique’s last day
    • We worked on Laban movement stuff
    • It’s a way of breaking down human movement into categories
      • I’m actually fairly skeptical about these things when they seem to make truth claims
      • But it works as a metaphor that aids in character creation
  • We also played around with thematic ideas again
    • We created environments that were Oblique
      • Lifeboat, pillow fort, that kind of thing
      • We never got to submarine, which is the one I really wanted to do
    • Sahana brought in an idea about four versions of how incoming cultures interact with host cultures and we explored that using Laban
      • Assimilation, Separation, Integration, and Marginalization (Marginalization is the one I forgot in the recording)
  • Two of my favourite people (Amie and Rachel, both visiting from England) came to rehearsal this week
    • Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
  • Next week we really have to get going
  • The core group is meeting this weekend to come up with ideas to bring in on Monday
    • Wish I could join, but I love the fact that they’re getting on this

 

NERD NITE

  • Need to get the ticketing link up

PHOTOGRAPHY

  • No major photography updates this week
  • (Other than the shots I took in rehearsal)

BE THE AUDIENCE

  • Had some interesting feedback from a trusted friend in Canada
