Hi Friends,
So far, Laura, Julie and Jennifer met on Monday July 6th. and, Julie, Katy, Lee and Jennifer met on Tuesday at 45 West and had an inspiring rehearsal. Here are some of the ideas that we talked about, worked on and hope to develop more in the future. Exciting things are in the works.
Please note these are the notes that I took in rehearsal, if there are other ideas that I missed please do add them. Also, these ideas are a blend of our collective conversation, as well as individual interests.
Monday July 6th
- Developing the Tuning Score (Lisa Nelson's) - pause, play, repeat, end, replay, exit, etc, etc.
- Practise Memory - what happened during all points of the improv.
- Break the 3 minute habit - going beyond the 3 minute tendancy of an idea or ending it sooner.
- Endings
- Catching and matching momentum
- Vocabulary Tuning
Tuesday July 14th
- One musician to one dancer
- Looking, working with the eyes
- Could we develop a score that is almost impossible? How would you interpret the score to make it workable.
- what roles come up as we work and improvise together?
- what score could we develop that would not produce a product. does the need to produce a product, or create something watchable override investigation of depth.
- idea of a tribe - we develop the same language
- boredom is very valuable
awesome quote from Julie's friend Andrew Wass:
"Hold your idea in the palm of your hand, if you want to drop it just open hand and let it go."
until next time,

Or, something along the lines of : "Hold your idea in the palm of your hand and if you want to let it go turn it over and drop it." The quote goes along with the gesture!
