by day the blue will pale down into white where it touches the white of the land, after sunset it has a new circumference-orange, melting upwards into tenderest purple. but the core of blue persists, and so it is by night. then the stars hang like lamps from the immense vault. the distance between the vault and them is as nothing to the distance behind them, and that farther distance, though beyond colour, last freed itself from blue. -e.m. forster (a passage to india)
they had a long discussion about how to break off at the end of the piece . . and finally decided to add a loud static sound before going to a black out, as if there was trouble and they get lost in space.
oops! i forgot i cut this off . . here's the last half:
i finally realized after filming this that morgan is a space alien . . which would explain all the references they were making to costume and make up looking appropriately alien-like.
(i actually filmed this from a better angle, and without interruption, during friday's dress rehearsal.)
krista brought them some water while they sat and discussed the technical issues with the lighting designer.
they'll have another chance to run it with the new sound changes tomorrow at dress rehearsal.
chanda waiting to begin her tech . .
her dance is called ophiocordyceps, or zombie ant fungus - a piece she began working on when researching the subject for biology class.
getting notes from ellen and the lighting designer.
a second run through of the last half of the dance . .
walking home with krista and ollie . . tomorrow is dress and then the show saturday night.
