we are humans..

i have been dying for human interaction on these public transit systems. lol. these people get on these buses and literally become robots until you ask them where the next stop is, or you dropped your gloves. their red light comes on and they are alive. on my way to see playback south i experienced this. in its most real form. a guy was running late for the train and i was just walking like a normal person and he bashed his body into mine forcing me to get on the train a little bit earlier just before the train doors closed.hmmm.i loved him for that. so much. so so much. and his robotness continued as he sat down as if nothing happened. what a load of rubbish.
i made my way to the angel station looking for the candid cafe to watch playback south, only to find myself lost and confused with that "everything looks new feeling" brushing across my eyes. lol. so i meandered around the town passed the cafe in this effort only to retrace my steps and find the cafe.haha. this is a typical journey in the city. luckily i find the cafe and the small space they were performing in. i met with joan and was able to have some coffee with her after the performance. "heather, we ate those chocolate pastries we loved from panera." these were just as delicious.
this playback theatre used a few different forms that I was not used to seeing.i.e. diamond chorus, magicalite/something or another and this term "free form" which they used to describe stories. one of the most memorable actors was Duncan.haha.he had a good spirit, which made him an interesting character to watch as he weaved in and out of the playback forms.
watching them was so nice. i was sort of cool just enjoying playback as an audience member. something i haven't done in a while. it definitely made me appreciate our conductor. VA.what a great woman.
we had such an interesting chat after the performance. there was one male who felt a little "ripped off" as he said for watching the performance. he thought it was just "practice" for the actors.as a audience member i listened to him and later revealed i was a member of a company back home.everyone can have their opionion.but little does he know that those actors were not acting for themselves, but they were giving of a gift.
the venue of this performance was in a very nice spot with this connecting trajectory of a side terrace that connected the cafe to the black box theatre space. genius.
classes have been grand. they had all of my books in their library. don’t have to pay for books.what? that is different. but i will definitely not argue with that one.haha.because i have to spend that money on the public transportation.muhaha.so it all works out.
my special study choreography and composition are tomorrow. i am so stoked for this class because i will be working with a composer to create an original piece of music to be performed with a new work that i will create in the class. i am on cloud nine. ah.my dream. look out collage dance collective.muah.
we are humans with human emotions and feelings, and we continue to be humans living.we will rock you tomorrow.can't wait...ahh...must get rest.muah.
