Some quotes from yesterday to start off with - I know others will piggy back on these and detail in their own words the discussion we had on form, structure, creation, and involvement in the event of performance on stage:
"[A move towards] structure in direction, not in expression." - Justin
"Crossing that line [between chaos and center] every time we get up to perform." - Jean
"The expression is individual, the direction, or structure, is the group." - Ben

We also picked up on our conversation about the spectator and the "hows" and "whys" of incorporating them into the work. Buran approaches texts and projects with the spectator in mind, but how can we more fully engage and interact without ripping to shreds the line of "chaos" Jean mentioned. Is it an attitude of preparation that allows the audience to fully engage and take responsibility for their role in the event? Regarding tangible interaction, how far is too far? We desire to engage with the spectator, while not scaring them away...though nerves can be a powerful thing when dealt with in a mindful way.
ReplyDeleteAs we move forward we will continue to mine the depths of spectator engagement. This is a large part of Buran and one we plan on clarifying through discussion and practice. Please, add your thoughts and comments as the many voices of the group will create the voice of the whole.
Best to you all!
