It was another enriching, fulfilling day here in Albuquerque. We worked as a group on a new Buran script, Bournijka the Boxer: American Mythology Vol. 1. After reading a selection we each wrote our own personal mythologies and shared them with the group in order to actualize the ideal of universal text appropriation between our members; one quality of a Buran event is its ability to be formed and re-formed depending on the location, culture and peoples of the community in which it is occurring. And the stories were pretty damn interesting. And a little bit giggly.
After lunch, Carter shared with us his new project based upon the life and adventures of Lewis Meriwether. An articulate discussion followed as to the research, current process and future of the work-in-progress. It was very exciting to be working as a company on the development of new work and thank Carter for sharing with us. I won't say too much as Carter will be posting his own thoughts later in the week.

Over the past two days there has been a phrase that has been brought up again and again - "Generosity of spirit."
This has been exemplified in so many ways in the past 48 hours - in the sharing of homes and rehearsal spaces and texts and ideas. Or as Josh put it, "A positive infection that spreads itself over the group." (We've been using many colorful metaphors this weekend...).
This afternoon Erin and Casey came in and shared with us their aspirations for an Albuquerque New Play Initiative - a theatre with development of New Plays, specifically, in mind for the 21st century.
More to come!
