We came, we saw, we danced a lot. Last night Kelly and I watched some of the afternoon working sessions. Clean spatially...could see the duets, trios, clumps how we were all working spatially.
Couple things I noticed - events kept unfolding almost always at the slightly faster than a glacier impro pace. This is not to say that people were not dancing quickly, but the chapters (for lack of a better word) came and went at a similar pace. Scenarios were presented but not investigated for long. Vocabulary was brought back but a scene is more than just its movement vocabulary.
A score I would like to try is have a group of people working, let's say 7. One person is designated the observer (Though all are observer/participants...) When the observer sees a situation/scene - example: standing slow quarter spread throughout the stage with wild CI duet up stage and solo downstage - s/he tells everyone to pause and identifies the situation.
How much can the identified scenario be investigated? How much can its boundaries be stretched before it morphs? How much material is there in that one scene? Does the ensemble need to move on so quickly
