a system of proposals

hello beauties.
After landing in Bruxelles today right in your arms, i feel i should write some thoughts i had after work. Susanne brought up a good point, one that we can already begin to think about for our meeting tomorrow-no, later today...yes, it's 24 hours i don't sleep....

After establishing this rotating leadership, we now need to find a clear way of letting it flow, so that the group knows where we are going, and that everyone's propositions are considered.
Susanne brought up that we need to find a way of organizing our proposals, and i would add that we also need to hear from everyone who has not clearly led yet, and just see everyone's individual desires.

Yoann will use his mojo to guide us.

i should add:
what has happened until now is that the organization of an event for the group has guided our focus, and this usually came from the initiator of that event. 2 clear examples are when i set up the museum night, found a space, and proposed a clear beginning structure which we then all molded together. In fact, that structure was born from mixing the first FUNCTIONS description of Barbie with a previous MEMORY FRAME that we had done together in November with Didier as a guest musician. Not bad, but i see that it might not always fall into place so well,
so yes,
we need a system.

As for the Namahn Residency, again i have mapped out a beginning point with Hall's The Hidden Dimension, about social organization of space, and this was born together with the Namahn team when we met and talked about WHAT COMMON POINT CAN WE BEGIN TO RESEARCH AS DANCERS IN RESIDENCY IN A DESIGN STUDIO? That's also what went in the dossier to the VGC. Sorry if i haven't been clear with my darting mails until now.

I realize that as we will be working in a dance studio inside a place of business(!!!), sound will surely be something to be very delicate with. Maybe this is why i've been so interested to confront music while we have the perfect space for it--before we are in an environment that might push us to explore with silence more instinctively than being free with sound.

However, I see there isn't enough time to give it the proper depth now, using the viewpoint-like frame set by the author of the Music Lesson, a Spiritual Guide through Music. BUT, good news--this is due to the organic process that we are in now. Which means, if we are onto something, let's really go deep. As I won't be there in April to follow sessions until the day of the Antwerp show, I can only imagine us continuing on the same track we are one now.

So go Barbie go, let's make this "function recipe" as elaborate as we can. Jokers and costumes, gypsy bands or not...

see you soon
