When you only have 12hrs to remember 40
sets of instructions…. Make a storyline to help you remember. Some clever
creative memory aids; but not necessarily the physical order that will appear.
Below is the outcome of our in-flight study session!
Rhonda and I are starting work today in the big apple, well Princeton University to be exact, on the There Might be Others project with Rebecca Lazier. This is an large ensemble open score composition directed by Choreographer Rebecca Lazier and Musical Director Dan Trueman.
For the next three weeks we will be rehearsing with the cast of 24 and posting our updates and discoveries. Check out this article about the project on Classical TV.
Blue:
The water story
I get in my boat and use my OAR, there is a few BUMPER VARIATIONS in my steering
capacity, I get distracted by a FLAMINGO.
I take a rest on the beach FLAZEDA, CHRIS entertains us and does a
CHRISTIAN DIOR fashion show. I have
to refrain from DON’T HIT, I CRAWL AND SING to keep up with the
shenanigans. There is TRIGGER, ZOMBIE outbreak.
Set Notes: No down items
Red: Matrix Meltdown and the Bear Supper
We enter the matrix to complete the GRID, but we get caught on a CHAIN, that throws us into a JENEFAY repeat, our ARMS pull us out #pulluptheanchor, BRAVO we survived! A BEAR/ or GIRAFFE comes and CARRIES
us away, to LAYDOWN in their cave, TRACING out our meaty portions, but a super
swift NIKITA NINJA saves us.
Set Notes: No Music
Yellow:
It's a Dance Party
SINAN
(Simon) comes to visit to show us his JANGLE JUMP, we break out the FOLK dance, and sexy DO-OP, and a little ROMPER. We break into a BALLET, we get a SOLO, ballet makes me want to BOX
and DRAG and FIST and TONE, end
with a little BUTOH
Green:
composting grass – Natalie Yard Work Tragedy
WHIP
IT (cut the grass), TWITCH AND SWITCH (I’m covered in bugs), stretch it out with CHORD, LEAN LINE UP with NATALIE, hoary JUMPING GREEN BEANS – lets CLAP. She clenches her heart for HEART ATTACK, DROP and ROLL, HUMAN PILE.
