This week may have been the fastest ever. I won't try and catch up the blog entirely but instead will leave it with a bit of a hole that can be only filled by seeing the work. Today I am wondering a lot about documentation. One of the elements of the work that I don't believe I have discussed much in the blog is how we are using nudity: the three of us are nude while performing. Lucinda and Eleonora maintain strong eye contact and relate to each other in space. I am part of the trio but also have a live feed video camera and am shooting them and also the space. In the sharing on Tuesday, most of the conversation afterwards was focused on this aspect. It stimulated a lot of questions about the gaze of the camera and issues around nudity. Yesterday when I saw Christian, my first reaction was to invite him to the rehearsal today so that he could document our run-through. This morning I woke up wondering how to handle this. As much as he has a respectful and calm presence, simply having one clothed male photographer alone in a room with three semi-nude performers (even one with a camera) radically disturbs the work. At first I was really worried about this but now am planning on inviting him for a long conversation before the rehearsal. In the end, we may decide to not have him take photographs, or perhaps we will find a way to integrate his performance as photographer in the work. I'm looking forward to this. At the same time, I want us to have a run-through that helps prepare us to perform continuously for an hour tomorrow and further develop the use of the gestures in the work.
