Shannon

Choreographer/dancer Shannon Bott called in today to watch a ‘run’ of the material. Afterwards, she asked, “Who am I in this?” She described a “flattening” of the work at the moment I started describing/listing my injuries at the end of the run … a flattening “into here and now”.

She asked questions about this person gk: “Is this what happened?”, “Did that occur?”

She talked of the work/material “hovering in whom”

Bagryana asked Shannon, “When did you not want to watch?”

Later, Bagryana and I asked, when I am ‘performing’ and I recovering from what is going on, is it me that is recovering or is it him?
