Spring 2009, Week 2

February 11, 2009 - Week 2

The second week of Fieldwork had a return of the participants who started the workshop.

Works in progress included a dance, a poem, a couple of short stories, and a monologue.

Some responses I had to the work that was presented:
-challenging someone?
-reminiscent of a tightrope
-movement reminded me of someone drawing....maybe tasting
-felt like character was letting people in, but not everyone
-character's environment felt very unsupportive and that made me sad
-character's voice held a lot of pain and longing, but also resolve
-vivid descriptions, could visualize the scene
-worried that I was going to cry because of the subject matter, but the speaker was gentle enough not to
-everything tied together

Responses to my work in progress that stood out:
-timely, frustrated because trouble hearing asides
-light hearted tone with serious under current
-subject matter seemed as if it was not funny at the time, but is funny now
-duality interesting
-catchy phrases
-dropping ends of sentences
