Checking back in

Hello again - I've been out of contact with everybody for a while.  I got sucked in by a million pieces of my life that were demanding immediate attention.  Seems like many of us have been.  I do apologize for dropping the ball of communication and activity on my end over the past few months.  

But I'm still here - and I'm sure we can get out of this inertia.  

What time, within the next week or two, might you all be free to work?  Step 1 - find the best time, step 2- find a place at least for that first meeting.  Let's just try to make one meeting happen for now, to get us back on our feet, and then worry about a regular meeting time/ space from there.  I think the most important thing is to just get us back in touch with the work and one another.  

Maybe, since it's been so long since our last session, we could start with a regular suzuki training and open viewpoints session.  Then move on from there?

Let's do it

Improvisations (From Northwestern Workshop)

All-

Good day lovely people! Hope all is well in each individual world...

Could this be added as a warmup to sessions? After going to the workshop at Northwestern, about like a month ago, I really wanted to begin exploring dynamics and relationships and ideas for stories using this improvisation method we used. Its very simple, and only requires some chairs and an open room. This isn't intended to create some outline for future stories, just begin to stir the soul.

A thought I had on rehearsal space, if the space Keland and Erika doesn't work out, is could we move back to Links Hall? It would cost sure, but then we could develop a history in the same place SITI and other Suzuki and Viewpoint workshops are held. What does that idea stir up?
