Sound, Body, Movement, Character.....

Joanna led this Lab, continuing this month's theme of Action Theatre and Ruth Zaporah inspired exercises; linking the body's movement with the voice/sound.

• moving from a certain body part, guided by a partner, rolling across the floor
• Layering sound with the kinetic response to partner's touch

• 1 Sounder, every-one else; Movers
• 1 Sounder tags in and out with Movers
• Play with looking and not looking a the group

• As a Sounder: Being a good leader...or more predictable vs. not- more self indulgent sound
• The Movers: solo exploration vs. group interaction (what does that dynamic feel like?)

• Flocking with Sound and Movement
• Moving into an Open Score
• Being highly vigilant of one another...less of an Open Score really because it began with an exercise
• Open Score needs to be clearly stated/introduced

• Within Open Score- finding a balance with the following: Awareness of Composition, Awareness of the whole group, having the freedom to step out whenever to be an observer, Performance practitioner "deep play," ensemble based work, allowing the ooey gooey, and being precise.
