Ideas for rehearsal sessions

Page history last edited by PBworks 15 years, 6 months ago

Arising from the rehearsal on the 19 September and from a phone discussion between Thomas and Stephen (24/9/08) the following proposals for planning rehearsal sessions came up:

 

1. That each of us propose a particular interaction we wish to explore in a rehearsal.

2. That an interaction is repeated  a number of times in sequence without break or discussion. This can be done either in a fixed or free sequence - for example, following the end of an argument between two players, another argument is taken up by another two players (the order of the players may be decided in advance or any two players may take up the argument). 

3. As far as possible, an agreed form of an interaction should be maintained - for the simple reason that one can only explore that interaction fully if its form is preserved. Apropos of this as 'interactive behaviour' Stacey writes (150): Expectations emerge ... that people will link their communicative actions together in an associative manner.  Communicative cooperation arises in the process of people holding each other accountable for their actions in some way. They act toward each other in a manner that recognizes their interdependence and so negotiate their actions with each other. Without this relating breaks down. The immediate consequence of such interdependence is that the behaviour of every individual is both enabled and constrained by the expectations and demands of both others and themselves. etc. Our situation is, I would propose, more complex than the kind Stacey has in mind.

4. To achieve the above three  points it will obviously be useful to start off each interaction with as much clarity as possible, ie. whether elements are maintained or free in: number of players, sequence, behaviour and form of interaction, use of instruments, type of sonic material, etc).
