Session nº 8

New costumes! Dona Ocell (Mrs. Bird) gains a first face.

Resisting to the exploration of the fabric. Still on it.


Feet working despite the heat and humidity.

Session nº 7

The team.

A new member engages in the process, helping with an external eye.
Trying again with the fabric.
- "I feel an elephant!"

- "When I don't see you, my reaction time is bigger."

-"Are there two bodies with a fabric or just some fabric's movements?"

"Well... Actually we're 3 bodies: both of us AND the fabric."

But also making it more sistematic. See what works.
"I feel that we have to stop for a moment and see what's working and what doesn't."
And again new clothes! Some possible movements with the cloth of FURATS (Hollows).
New and ajusted cloths, brought by the costumes-team.
Trying, improving.

Work progresses in different ways: exploration and then sistematic thinking and perception about it.
Costumes are getting defined and musics are all defined, already.
External feedback gains importance and in a global process the piece gains stronger "body".
