Robert and Caitlin want to meet in Indiana, taking some advantage of the DK dancers and studio space, and do a three-week workshop on physical theater. This was partially inspired by, but not exclusively, the chorus workshop that I did earlier this year. Dates are tough to work out but we really want to do it.

We also want to make it a yearly thing – like that dream I’ve mentioned to Robert before about having chorus work come back together for all the scattered participants once a year. This is it. And I didn’t even initiate the idea! I love this!

Here are some of the rejected names for the project that we came up with while at Martino’s last night.

The Grievance Committee (no one but me was into this. Someone: “Do you have to START by being negative?” I need to keep this in mind for that future “What’s Wrong With Theater” article…)
The Indianapolis Clusterfuck (Caitlin was not into it)
The Indy Convention
The Indy Gathering
Burning Man Of Indianapolis
Summer of Indianapolis
Indiana Winter
IndyCore

But we think CONVERGing, like a bunch of people converging on a place to make wacky theater together, is best.

I’m nervous but super-excited. If I was to dream of the one thing I wanted most in the world for my future, it would be this for sure. A way to reunite everyone I love working with, and a way to keep the room open for play and experimentation. The fact is that this chorus work can only grow if I remain open to all its permutations.

Everyone doing their own workshop and all those workshops feeding into Chorus-World.
YEAH, BABY!

“Have you been to the Indy Convergence?”
“Where’s the Indy Convergence happening this year?”
“I’ve been going to the Indy Convergence since 2008…”

Caitlin is going to design a logo. We’re for real. I’m creating a new category for this, superstars.
