Talk of new RANT AND MANIFESTO texts, that can act as aspirations for continuing rather than moaning or describing what we are no longer prepared to do. Talk of a 'LOSING MY DIGNITY’ text. Talk of a 'PROMPTING' text. Talk of a 'NEUROSIS' text. Talk of 'Do we become redundant as we get older' and is that a different question for women? Talk of aging and failing physicality. How could you stage killing someone off? After a long discussion, thoughts that may help Wendy to write some new stuff for IWGO -
- Do we find ourselves where we want to be? Are we constantly adjusting ourselves to make the right impression/ fit in / become acceptable/ be part of a group / find a common language
- Perhaps the show becomes an attempt to articulate a manifesto for how to continue....
- Trying stuff out. Things standing in for things
- People co-existing in their differences of style and approach within one show
- Trying to avoid being so inward looking, but circularity is useful in the presentaion of things
- Functionality of performance – seeing performers cope with things being the driver for action
- Things seen and then reseen in different contexts with different stuff taking place at the same time – affords us to use texts more than once or vary/fragment them in order to reuse and recycle them
- Playing with the idea that performers notice that they have dug themselves into a hole on stage and the language around that
- acknowledging that narrative and emotion are inevitable in the work
- Texts that supply instructions for looking are useful
