Emerging themes:

• Many of our works involve audience participation and movement and contribution beyond standing up and singing along; things like Bailey’s bread box, following David around for Show Don’t Tell, arranging Gabrielle’s name, reading the Federalist papers; I think challenging the audience beyond an intellectual “here, watch this and think about it sense” and in more of physical, participation way could be interesting and challenging for us as the creators of the work. à would this become like a workshop?
• Creations/ the beginning: Sophia’s black/white, Molly’s “The Origin of Love” and “Adam and Eve,” Paige’s “Genesis of Love”
• Not being able to see (?): Bailey’s masks that were used by Carina as well, the fact that many people chose to have people close their eyes for the five senses project (even though it was unnecessary, Gabrielle’s albino mask, my tactile room, Gabrielle’s waiting room, Bailey’s “Blue” where his eyes are closed
• Flushing things away: Titanic was flushed, the weird bottle story, bailey’s drinks going down the sink, I think Gram had things going down the sink as well, Glitter down the drain for Peter

Things I made:

• Video of the sheet: I’m just stuck on this video and the sound of the sheet moving through space, not sure where it fits in to the larger scheme.
• Tactile Room: Although I don’t think it was well executed, I really liked some aspects of how that turned out, like how it became a communal and fun discovery experience.

Things others made:

• Kimmy’s Show Don’t Tell: The visual of Kimmy moving across the stage along with the dialogue was just so stunning and very layered.
• Carina’s Show Don’t Tell: I think the effort she actually had to put in to make it all happen made it seem more visceral
• Jackson’s Stories for the Five Senses (Recording of Reading the Murder Story): I think the impeccable timing and unexpectedness made this one
• Paige’s Juxtapositions: Again, her Genesis of Love brought in the unexpected.
