Money in the Pocket

A thought about choreographed “material” – it’s like money. You use it to accomplish or get something else - a unified or related image among people, the possibility of having events clearly recur, clarity about what action is happening so that you can also focus on other elements (landscape of the stage, relationships, rhythms and sequences of action). We are making repeatable walking phrases, personal movement phrases coached by the others, and “kitchen” phrases from Eva’s household moves. It feels like having money in the pocket. We can spend it all over the place.

This a.m. over coffee Vick and I discussed using “scraps” from visual artist friends – they could be ideas for physical frames, or single images that we would then realize. Love that thought… have already broached it with two designer friends. Time to really invite them.
