This is a great opportunity to shape something magical and be in from the start of the project. Exciting times.
Or in other more personal Porty news, Future Value debuted last night. An audience even turned up and seemed to enjoy it! I did too.
What I took from last night, is that a group of self-selecting randoms can, as individuals, come together and create a ‘whole’ of beauty and structure. Sounds just like a committee, eh? There was a huge amount of focus in rehearsal on being aware what all of us were doing. Part of the ‘score’ – yes a written down score was created for piece – is that if one person stops, the group comes to a stop and restarts together. I can’t claim to be good at being aware of the whole group but that was one of my learnings – opening my gaze and my awareness. It wasn’t about being lost in the moment. It was about being part of something and present in the moment. And moving with purpose, to a score we had created. Our Choreographer, Monica and originating Artist, Deirdre (see Jon Davey’s lovely photo) had created conditions for this to form. It was also playful. I was reminded how intense playing is.
Jon Davey was working hard to capture Day 1 of Art Walk and has some pictures of Future Value.
Tomorrow it will all be over. Better enjoy the moment.
