Damaris’ Recycled Images menu:
ip lamps, one person on flashlight, cd player open.
Barbara to introduce the eye practices on the musing stool. If someone has memorized text, they can play with it in the space and others can deconstruct.
I’d like to see certain images brought back: votives on the wall, the rocking trio, Mirima’s jumping, done by anyone at anytime.

Eliza’s Finding a Way into Language:
Across with consonants and circular vowel release
players (five or could be another number) start on stage left wall, in crouch or low position
floor light at stage left wall facing stage right wall

*cross to stage right and back to stage left in horizontal corridors,
- image of stereo signal lights building and lessening, some more than others, pressing forward and retreating
*also physical structure of moving up from and down to the ground
*each player has a seed consonant (given to them by another player) (later this developed into 2 consonants, or trading with another player)
*you move when making your consonant sound, the sound making movement is what propels you
*find the sound in and coming out of your body
*can release into vowel sound - and here the movement becomes circular and curvy in the space, out of corridors, and return back to your beginning place
*play with listening, repetition, solo, cacophony, dynamic, tempo, and volume of sound

-it developed with: eyes, facing, relationship to others, linking consonants and vowels, paying attention to the sound making connecting you to something inside, others, and the space
-bumping into wall at end of vowel release, switching corridors some, vowel release running and louder
-I wanted to go to linking consonants and vowel into a word, and then some change happens in the structure


BD’s It’s about five… Menu
2 walls lit by clip lights: areas for shadow making
5 people in the space at a time
One person (Erika/Katherine) lies still in the usl quad for entire Aunt
