There really will be, if anyone asks you, a Convergence of experimental theater Makers teaching workshops and presenting choruses, in February, in Indy, laying the groundwork for future Convergences.
I. SUSHI IN INDIANAPOLIS
is better than I would have expected.
II. THERE’S MY AUNT!
We’re driving down the main drag in Broadripple and Caitlin sees her aunt, and we do a U-turn to meet her.
III. WALKING THE DOGS
Rob and I have been walking Macy and Marley on the nearby trail, appreciating the fall leaves, and talking about possibilities for the Convergence, our upcoming conference of experimental theater makers in February. Keywords (all from Convergence brainstorming of late): Original dialect Shakespeare, everyone (all the participants) teaching their own workshops or running their own sessions, visual arts / dance theme, 13 Ways Of Looking At A Chorus, Chorus Variations.
We talk about exploring one chorus from each of the 4 major Greek playwrights, plus a 5th devised one we come up with on our own. Possibly from a Neruda story.
IV. ALL MY DJ EQUIPMENT IS AT OUR DISPOSAL
Do we want a Wiki? A Blog? A combination of both? We can redirect theconvergence.com to whatever it is we have. Everyone could be editing their own pages on their growing workshops and collecting information prior to their February workshops.
V. I’M TRYING TO CONVINCE HER TO WATCH 1408 ON THE BIG SCREEN
We buy Boddington’s, Bitburger’s, and Rogue Dead Guy Ale, in memory of Ashland, and the brainstorming begins. We have a meeting tomorrow afternoon. Tonight we work the details out, and we’re going to watch some of Caitlin’s Graham videos and my DVDS of past productions.
