Anybody going to Marfa in 2007?

Hi!

I saw the small square in CQ about Marfa 2007 with Steve Paxton. I wonder what will be the connections between Ensemble Thinking and Steve's approach. I wonder what he is interested to work on. The spinal work? The puzzles? If anybody nows, write a comment to this post, thanks!

Most efficient and best ways to work since there is never enough time to work with Nina.

It takes to a group a period to settle and find ways to communicate. By the end of the week in Marfa, it felt like the idea to work in small group, divided in part observers and doers was most efficient. We would extract patterns, strategies in a simple short way to be then able to share it with the entire group. We would also wave at what one was saying if it was true for us as well. Non repetitive and focussed discussions are to me the best warm ups and downs. It puts me in a very specific mindset, ready to think and be aware. That's the real warm up we need to do that work.
