notes of a dasarts graduate - preliminary discussion or The Voluntary Human Extinction Movement by nancy
Nicola Alison and Nancy discussed our traditional working methods to try and get an idea of how we may practiacally converge the conceptual:
nicola - text based bloking, repition
nancy- training. creating and reptition of the choreography/ performance. absorption of content via daily life.
alison - creates alone then takes composition to the musicians who play the score or makes up her own form and structure to improvise within.
cees?
kees?
Of course this above may seem to be a highly reductive account of the intense creative process but to simplify this serves the purpose of finding an entry point for the practical work.
FORM of the work - kees suggets it to be a journey so that we are all do our own work, e/g/separate entities since has done his group blocks at dasarts.
A few people expressed that they would like to converge & make a work of theatre rather than a fragmented 'installation', which is why they opted for the project.
Discussion about the black box and its relevance to the theatre in 3000.
Nicloa wants to make cockroach theatre and flood the frascatti.
Nancy likes that idea - sounds like it will be turned into an old space stationlike squat of those neo-hippies in 2092.
Actually if any of us thinks about the situation long enough, and makes the effort to work through those socially-instilled blocks to clear thinking, we will arrive at virtually the same conclusion: we should voluntarily phase ourselves out for the good of humanity and planet. SeeThe Voluntary Human Extinction Movement :

Thinking about: New forms etc. new materials and genres, which can be combined in numerous unexploited ways and offer new forms and images that may prove more consistent with the as yet externally unformed eexperience as reality, than those offered by the orthodox cannons of performing and fine arts.

theme - there were concerns for accurate and appropriate framing of this groups work regaring making work around the theme theatre in the year 3000.
most people in the group expressed the vacuous nature of the theme and their inablility to even define what is happening in
theatre' now - let alone in 3000.
Nancy inspirate of the future she looks back into the ancient past for instance some anient practices you can be in the present and shift to the past and shift back to present, to constantly play with time and space in the landscape of the imagination. The rain and wind, the mind has imprinted itself upon the land, theatre allowed you to carve out a new space, if you have a good awareness of the laws of force and practices which you are connected to. My form of theatre making is deeply embedded in the particular lived experience of my ancestors. Cells of my grandmohters are in me , the patterning of her DNA I hold withih me. One could say that the anatomy is, whether we like it or not, everyones destiny. That is not such a limiting statement, after all, the micro patterns and processes of our anatomy unfold and reveal the macro history of the land, and the universe, at its miraculous usual.
we discussed coded language - the mutating language via the use of fast networked communication interfaces e.g sms.email etc.
tatoos and criminals - coded embodiement - the crime scene
history of a space: frascatti old tobacoo hall - then dance hall then theatre.
The Theatrum anatomicum, nancy talked of her 8 hour translocal performance intalatioon paying homage to this heavily coded and vexed space of subjugated knowledges.
