Closing of the First Week

Tomorrow is Friday, and we will be finished week one with Daelik.

For me, I think my favorite part of creating a new piece is swimming in the unknown and then feeling small fragments of the greater picture reveal themselves. It's exciting to watch a moment of the truth unfold in front of you, even when you don't know what it is yet.

As always, one of the joys of coming home and working with SiNS is the strong presence of support in our working environment. Support for each other, support in the dialogue and the support to create a new work. It's like being in a hug all day....even if we get rough and dirty sometimes.

There are some exciting unknowns in the studio working with Daelik, (as a new choreographer to the group); learning his language, supporting his aesthetic. Daelik is also learning from SiNS, watching the intricacy of our group dynamic and pushing us in new directions.

So far this week,

work stations were set-up:


for music

..and for portable Pilates


we have had the luxury of learning material from a giant screen:



we assembled our props that were sent in the mail, surprisingly UPS found little rural Ross Creek without a problem!:


....a welcomed Arts and Craft break




and improvising begins....




HOARD, MEASURE, TAKE STOCK

There are always two options: to go towards, to go away or even redirect.... so I guess that's three?
