SITI Day 18

2 Fire alarms went off last night ( or I should say early this morning) one at 4 AM for about 45 minutes, and again at 6 AM for 5 seconds.

Today is a double day and we are literally dragging ourselves into class. Our eyes are glazed over and we are all worried about breaking down and falling apart.

Suzuki with Ellen

Suzuki deals with Music, Text, Your Body, and Time

When you brake, you still have to keep the pedal to the metal ready to release. When the command is given the leg has to shoot like a gun. Get it down/out/up so you can brake again.

There is no right or wrong. There is only being a better artist or Failing better.

Viewpoints with Bondo

An amazing class. We are so tired, sore, and out of it that we aren't worried about how we look or what we think should happen. Our body has literally taken over. We all seem to be operating on a subconscious level. Suzuki was the same, we all seemed to be better today. Because we weren't thinking about it. We just did it. No Judgements

Viewpoints with Leon

Building a structure of repeatable movements and having a partner recreate. It shows how specific you are when your partner doesn't have a clue what you did, or even better they tell you a story that they saw based off of your movement that has nothing to do with what you were doing.

You have to be the conductor and the creator at the same time. You have to be able to hit the record button while doing something so as to be able to repeat it. Just as in Grotowski, each moment must be filled with a life and repeated to the same effect.

Freedom vs. Accountability. You are able to do whatever you want, but you have to be held accountable for it. If you throw out a move into space, it exists in the world now and can be repeated.

A part is never truly yours until you can give it away to someone else. In Eastern theatre roles are handed down through the family or to apprentices. Can you give your part away by being so specific that someone can step in and play it immediately?

Take care of each other, Here's to a better tomorrow.
