Working on this project (both the live performance and film aspects of it, as well as the paratheatrical ritual lab where some of the performers' initial character development work took place) has been a delight; possibly the most harmonious and enjoyable group project I've ever been a part of. My only regret is that I've been so busy with school this semester that I haven't been able to chronicle the process here as it unfolded, the way I did with the Initiations Lab and Orphans of Delirium. Fortunately, the record of my work these past months is, as always, preserved in my body, in how I move, in the aikido I'm doing and teaching, and in the countless subtle changes in my interactions with the rest of the universe, in the way I play my part in the greater circulation.
