Moving from big to small

SiNS dance, the Halifax trio is just entering day three of our remount process. I have let go of the larger picture and now bringing my focus in. For this trio I need to switch back into performer mode, and now think about all the smaller details.



Luckily, with Cory here (the Halifax director) he has picked up what I have had to throw out and he is keeping the picture alive. If I played basketball maybe it would be similar to throwing a ball around the court, and keeping things moving. Although I don't think Basketball players jump around in their positions as much as I have in this project. Oh wait..... we relate to Hockey more, right? Does the forward stay the forward or can he jump in for the goalie or even THE coach once in a while? This is what's happening in the Schreibstuck performance rink right now.

It all started with the post....

For those of you who need some catching up or even a bit of insight... this is what happens to realize a production of Schreibstuck.

Make friends with Thomas Lehmen
Confess you may have indirectly acquired an art piece of his...
Wait for the lovely package from Germany to be sent in the mail (it may get lost a few times, or you may have to enlist a third party to deliver it across the country)

Open the box




Scratch your head


Invent your truths
Argue

Schreibstuck.... the adventure

Wow the dates are approaching soon and all the anticipated arrivals will soon be happening.

My good friends, and long-time collaborators from SiNS dance have already arrived. Susanne and Jacinte are in town a week early to get their Vancouver groove on and do some professional development.

Cory Bowles, the Halifax/SiNS director arrives on Sunday.... then we get to work!
SiNS with Cory will bring the Halifax trio back to life, since we haven't worked on the dynamics as a group since Dec/Jan when I was home last. Cory will whoop us to tighten all the timing and delivery of the material.

Then soon after we will join forces with the Vancouver and New York trios, but this meeting will only take place 2 days before the show. It will be electric on stage, with 9 bodies navigating each other.... come join us for the rock show!
