“Awareness is very important. We are here, nowhere else. Since we are here, why not be here?”
- Chogyam Trugpa,
Bobby’s Sun and Moon menu:
Split stage: Damaris reads Moon text lying on her back facing upstage, separate in the space in two halves. A flashlight on the same line illuminates her, SR Tyler is the sun, SL Erika is the moon
Moments we loved:
Flashlights on text
Erika on the back wall going around
Stillness in the beginning
Transition from story to breaking it up
Erika’s feet lit and her consciousness of it
Movement along periphery and repeated, shadows small to big
Sound of rings scraping on floor (as instruments?)
Tyler Butoh cat walking
Drawn to look outside
High in pitch staccato with movement
Tyler Dark with Light and Sound menu
SL 2 solo quads
SR open space
3 on flashlights assigned to keep space lit no other light elements
Moments we loved
People in charge of flashlights – the flashlight filtered through the water
Image of finger and light bulb bubble
Counterpoints
The jumping energy from Miriam
Gibberish trio
It’s helpful to have time support (you have five minutes left..) it gives us the ability to inhabit the endings
BD’s It’s about five… Menu
2 walls lit by clip lights: areas for shadow making
5 people in the space – moving on the exhale
The stone and votive game
One muser with war text prompts
Everyone gets the opportunity to say freeze once
Moments we loved
KK said “help” BD suggested, “leave the space”
Text prompts to stimulate discussion
People passing in and out of world
Tonight people seemed very direct and confident, “here I am, I am doing it for you to see.”
Mythology of a species: Desolate/Delight
We have to want to give and be seen and exchange energy “this is about generosity”
