14 May 2009Alex was formally offered the work of Composer/ Cellist for IWGO.
Whilst he was over from Costa Rica, he and Aurora played with recreating George Kuchar's I, AN ACTRESS (1977) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOXpDCkOiCo
A terrible idea, really, but well worth a go just for comic value. A relief to have another person in the studio. Making solo work is a very intense process for performer and director. We also developed a manifesto for IWGO - the things we are no longer prepared to tolerate in performance.
Much discussion around invisible scores, how to reveal the mechanics of what we are doing on stage as we are doing it, how to structure 8 distinct journeys through the piece in to a coherent whole so it doesn't just become a variety show, direct address as a form, how to piece together the collective urge to continue. Central question: what is it that I am trying to say in this work?
