a good week so far
today,saturday, an open studio day down at the South Waterfront AIR studio where we're in residence
hoping to connect with more waterfront residents, and introduce them to the civic planning game we developed in chicago, play it with them, and get feedback as we develop a new version of it for here in Portland.
Then, tonight, a 4 hour rehearsal over at the discovery center, our performance site- tonight, we're going to begin playing with some of the more 'risky' uses of the space, physically, and also begin getting more focused on a content piece we're developing for one part of the site.
A key weekend as we're now one month out from the TBA showings. And, we have all taken a large step forward this week, in mind and gut, in terms of understanding how the issues we're exploring really impact and relate specifically to Portland.
The videos in the entry before this one from last saturday's ten tiny dances are explained and given some extra context, by the way, in the july 28 entry.
