Wolf Talk-rehearsal 3

I was sick, so instead of canceling all together, we got other work done. 

1) We discussed costumes, coming up with brown worker pants and white long john shirts which Brian is going to bring to our music rehearsal tomorrow.

2) We discussed using final cut pro and confirmed that Brian will spend Wed. Oct at my house figuring out how to use the new version with me and we will then work on Daisy's footage.

3) We observed Jack and Cameo my two dogs...

a) Watched them jump sideways

b)  be submissive

c) watched them play and pause and look up and around, and play again. 

d) one dog ran around alone and the other rested. 

e) use their mouths a lot, with Cameo biting at Jack's heels. 

f)  teeth glaring

g) ears being expressive

h) gaze, looking at eachother, looking away--  Brian and I discussed focus, wanting to look at eachother more in our dance, and looking away as a way of perceiving our safety, surveying our surrounding.

We then worked with sounding and discovered we are both a bit shy at this, but not when we were just howling.  Especially howling loudly  We did this back to back and then went into our score loosely.

We performed it outside and used the trees to play around and the cars.  I discoverd that I do want to choreograph some of our fast physical sections to keep our energy up. 

We prepared for the musicans that are coming on Monday at 3:30-5:30, giving them the structure below of the work.
