meeting and new ideas

Hi guys,

Considering we ended up not meeting last night and that our time is getting shorter and shorter I would like to try a meeting next Tue before class. Jee Yun and I have tech rehearsal at 8pm and we might not be able to meet after class. How many of you could meet at 5:45pm in the classroom next Tue?

Also, Sony and Jason won't be able to be in our performance on the 27th. That, together with some ideas I had last class during Pedro's presentation, and with the time we have left made me think if we should do a different format than the one we are planning so far.

My feeling is that we are following a similar format than memory, with a theme, the places we want to connect, the scenes, etc, but with less structure, less resources, and less time. Since this is an open project, we don't have to necessarily follow that same structure, right?

I am wondering if we can come up with a different setting, or even a whole different idea altogether. Something simpler but different than the one we had already tried. It feels hard to do it without Sony and Jason and also it feels weird to repeat the same pattern that we had done, so successful, with memory.

We could experiment with one of Pedro's proposed ideas and see what we get, like that idea of having a lot of people connected with their laptops in different locations getting the sounds from all over.

Sorry I am not being so helpful here, but I think we should use the limitations we have to come up with something simpler and more creative. I honestly don't think dancing in that room would work so well, for instance. But Jee and I could do something in a different place.

What if every one of us choose a place to be (an unfamiliar territory?) and we send the images to the screen that could be set in our classroom? And the goal would be to explore how we feel in that place either by dancing, singing, playing, talking, or simply being there...

My 2 cents.
