25 Feb. "searching for museum structure"

As Hanna passed the mic to Barbs in her absence, she began by explaining a possible structure from a previous work process she did, concerning a lot of memory work, and a specific structure, not too unlike viewpoints, consisting of 4 main points. I was really excited as it seemed to touch the work I proposed last November working with the frame of memory.

Agos arrived and became our outside eye, which was really, really helpful. This is what we collectively created by the end of the day:

The structure begins by entering clearly the space to a beginning position. Once there, we begin to create a landscape, which should finish in the same beginning position. We worked a lot to be careful not make it too complicated. This is because after we arrive to our beginning position, we have to repeat the exact same thing. And again. By the 3rd repetition, we arrive to understand and see all the elements that are there, and they take importance. After this base is established, we begin to make choices. This is where the viewpoint work can be applied. These decisions are shifts, changes, and adaptations in duration, tempo....etc..... Replacements and playing with the "expected prewritten action" were very strong. Each action can be displaced from it's original context or "stimulas", creating a strong and visible difference. This difference makes the smallest action loaded with potential and reaction.

Again, the hardest part was to allow ourselves to be SIMPLE in the beginning. We learned to trust that there is already a lot a lot a lot in a simple, one minute loop, with simple actions and little dance. This gives a canvas to grow a composition.

As we have 3 sets of 15 minutes in the museum, we can benefit from this precise structure to make a composition.

I look forward to seeing it installed in the museum on monday. We can continue to adapt the structure from the information we receive there.

Yoann and Susu will be with us, making 7 in total.

I think structure will give us something clear and precise to work together on.
