posts...

wanted to post a verbal descritpion of what i am trying to do for this corpse but am hampered currently by lack of video camera.

I inherited Caitlin's walking to the sound of each other's heartbeats corpse and I have decided to take a video camera and tripod down to the Town hall/QVB crossroads (sydneysiders know what this is, basically busiest foot and car  traffic intersection in sydney), set myself up on probably the boring george st corner so that the QVB courtyard is in the background... and then.... I'm going to dance to the heartbeat of the city... using a technique of intuitive/reactive moevment that Jerzy Grotowski teaches in his "Towards a Poor Theatre" and that I learnt for a little while- you must totally clear the mind and assume a neutral position and close the eyes... usually you have a partner who will use gentle touches as impetus for your movement, however I will have to respond to the sounds I hear around me. 
Perhaps you guys will have to visit me at the Rozelle Mental ward (incidentally right near SCA) when you are here.....
