At the Curious meeting the other day, Kathleen said, “wow, you should just video tape yourself talking about the big project and that could be the beginnings of it…” and I thought, actually, I wouldn’t want to do that, but I might want to write about all the things flying around in my mind…Bivens and I emailing back and forth about films to look at for that attention sculpting, me thinking about Altman’s “The Wedding” particularly, him mentioning Tati’s “Playtime”.  The audience has to make choices within the frame as to what to look at, the overweening omniscent authorial eye is not shoving it down their throats and saying “this is the meaning”.  How we can create that on a stage is the question, and using the largeness of the MCA stage, faces kind of lose their immediacy, so thinking about strategies to bring the faces into play a bit more.  The next step for me, I see clearly, is to get the first workshop dates and times nailed down, the participants, and a budget to the museum, so we can proceed on a planning level.  The participation of the choreographer who is a Butoh mover is also something to nail down…got a little overwhelmed yesterday what with all the Thesis crap happening (left out something big on the postcard, ooops…) and yet very engaged.
