Patrick started this Lab with a warm-up that worked it's way up from the floor:

• difference between large and small quantities of the bodies surface area making contact with the floor
  
• Support vs. Propulsion

Throughout Patrick's warm-ups, the group was collectively gently using the voice here and there with movement; warming the voice up with the body; effortlessly and spontaneously

Joan took over and lead us through an accumulating series of exercises inspired by Ruth Zaporah:

• Moving through ranges of low planes and high planes with the body; linking the voice to body; If the body stops the voice stops- if the voice stop the body stops

• Partners:

-One partner is the SOUNDER; the other, the MOVER
-The SOUNDER closes their eyes and simply plays with the sensation of sound in the body without any movement whatsoever.
-The MOVER responds to the SOUNDER through only movement. If the SOUNDER stops, the MOVER stops.
-(switch)

• Working independently: you are your own SOUNDER and MOVER in one; working with SOUND and MOVEMENT simoltaneously, playing with the same impulse first with SOUND then MOVEMENT, and visa versa

• Phonetics-----> <------ Mechanics

BOMBADEER:

• One Vessel; all others approach the vessel one at a time in either a DIRECT or INDIRECT way with ONE gesture and sound
  
• The Vessel and the "actor" (for lack of a better word) repeats this back and forth
  
• The trick is: is that the gesture and sound need to remain the same
• The "actor" is allowed to change the Tempo, Spatial Relationship, Emotion, Movement Quality, (the viewpoints...) of the gesture and sound
• The "actors" exchange in and out for the Vessel who has to immedietly drop what they are doing with the previous "actor" to mimic the new "actor"
• "actors" should try to drastically propose the opposite of the current "actor"
  
• The next development is adding text
• The "actor" approaches the Vessel in a DIRECT or INDIRECT way with a repetitive GESTURE and LANGUAGE. (this may look like twiddling fingers and whispering mischievously about what you'll do to your little sister when she comes home)
• Listen to each other

Autobiographical Storytelling:

• Two people sit side by side
• One begins to tell a logical real story
  
• The other interrupts when ever to tell their own individual logical story
• The two keep interrupting one another remaining isolated with their own story

We had no Open Score......Baaaad Joan
