Any idea that jogs a memory, warrants further discussion, requires clarification, or inspires further ideas--please post!!
Discussion Topic: Where are you at? What's on your mind?
Amber: I'm really into smoked gouda cheese.
Keland: treaching developmental movement & clowning. Touch connection. Authentic movement. Play. Ideas of rebirth at Roosevelt; leaving & starting over. Struggle for connection during financial crisis.
Megan: This year family has been unwell, but there is geographical distance. Finding connection. Email & text are unsatisfatory, but feel dependent upon them.
Kat: bewildered by continually having to learn the same lesson of how to deal with embracing process, being OK with not getting it right the first time. Didn't I learn this in high school, and then a couple times in college, and then again about 6 times in grad school? What is it about my ego that just can't handle not getting it right?
Ofer: 4 books a week for 3 month. Working at a coffee shop, babysitting, aikido, Passover, visitors from Isreal. Why do a PhD? Small crisis of loss of space & training time w this group.
Megan: Constant go-go-go. Where are we? I don't know. Renewal of Spring?
Amber: For Whom the Bell Tolls by Hemingway--devastating. "you are not in the Spanish Civil War! Your life is fine! Be glad to be alive!"
Amber: coworker admitted to hospital with chest pains. Artery dilated to several centimeters; heart likely to explode. Crying, asks to be discharged and just go home to deal with tragedy. Nurse finds him and says "if you go home, you're going to be playing with your daughter and your heart will explode and there won't be anywhere for the blood to go but out your mouth and eyes and your daughter will be traumatized. " so he stayed and got treated.
Ofer: Before i had babysitting, coffee shop, training group, and aikido, I got nothing done. Now I feel like I have leisure time.
Kat: recap of Under Contstuction by SITI Company at Humana/
Keland: Universality of movement; text and references. Developmental movement patterns in children. homologous vs. homolateral movements in infants. when do we realize, accept, discover, how we developed and why and where do we go from there; what choices do we have? Connection of body to mind.
Ofer: cognitive neuroscience-- disconnect btw synapses and intelligibility
Kat: one friend injured to the point of external hematoma (requiring 17 staples to the skull) in a cab accident. Horrific hospital experience of blood everywhere when she woke up confused. Also, grandmother just drove car through glass window of a salon, but no one was hurt.
Ofer: Realization: I don't want to go back to Isreal. It's not my home anymore. Visit, not live.
Amber: recap of Churchill's 7 Jewish Children.
Keland: Theatre Arts vs. healing arts. Shift & pull from former to latter. School can be so unhealthy. Conservatory focused energy causes so many problems.
Keland: Rose & Rime by House Theatre recap.
Amber: I love narrative, I love storytelling, I love how it helps to tell people about things.
Ofer: Believes that Viewpoints/Suzuki ENABLES narrative more than creates it.
Ofer: I'm interested in things exploring themselves. Thing-in-itself. Don't point to something else, point to the thing that's pointing. Reflect self, reflect people, reflect narrative, reflect structure. In itself.
Kat: Shall we attend Red Tape's Enemy of the People together to show our support of them?
