thinking through sequence

tried to think through the dance as it is, thinking through it's problems. to consider interruptions, to imagine the visual material, even though i don't know. this will help me prepare for tomorrow.

come in. look at audience. back up. turn away. look back at audience. back up differently. MUSIC ENTERS AT FIRST LOOK BACK?

reaching movements carrying downstage. FRAME first APPEARS?

walk upstage to line, one by one. collapse. ONLY HAVE FIRST CHORD CHANGE AS BEGIN TO ENTER LINE? TREE APPEARS AND MOVES THROUGH SEQUENCE? OR

diagonal line with nestling.
vertical line with marina on floor and michel on top. others stepping sidewards, away. tida/Dorothy solo…
big diagonal line. what happens here??? michel moves away figuring out position he had. he stops and marina scampers upstage. Dorothy/tida continue? Dorothy stop and she and michel race madly for marina position? tida go ot michel and lie on top of him? POSSIBLY DURING THIS SOME OTHER NON TREE THING HAPPENS. OR MAYBE FIRST IMAGE JUST TAKES A LONG TIME? OR??

Marina rumba. which explodes and then gets smaller and smaller. TREE LEAVE FRAME IN VIDEO? CONTINUE ACROSS FROM LEFT TO RIGHT?

walk to grid. either rotating in grid or eyes open/eyes closed. Keith only moving? doing what? arm reaching? SOMEONE WALK ACROSS WITH A TREE PICTURE (STAGE HAND?)

walking downstage, backwards. first three do artifacts washing. just arms (what is this), and tumble weed downstage. second three (only) leaving Lai and having keith walk backwards. (could the other person, alexx, do a stomping pulsing dance facing downstage??) THE SCENES? AIRPORT? VACANT LOT? LONG WINDING ROAD TO INFINITY?

one by one walk to the circle. circle crumble. (lai continue solo). Michel sticky tape to where pile will be.

one by one, walk to lie down in pile. as they arrive in pile, Michel stickey tape, bouncing move around upstage and over to upstage right. stand and shadows of marina dance.. 3 times. then leave? or nearly leave? STAGE HAND WALK OUT AND DUMP A PILE OF LEAVES ON THE STAGE.

NOW need to get out of this world which is feeling pervasively rhythmically the same…

ideas:
get up one at a time. as rise, see audience for a moment, as in beginning? go to grid positions? with back to us. begin a dance that has down up down up down up and pulsating. quick changes in direction and rhythm, that can be set in parts that change, that can begin to travel around the room? that is fun. that is goofy.

ecstatic dancing? arms, core? kind of crazy.

go to clump upstage with backs to audience or looking at sleepers. arms up. some part of up.

all turn to audience, walk forward and take a bow, a goofy one. turn and look at lai, who does arms to audience.
