Reh #1: Inspirations

One Apartment Six Drummers
a group of Nordic percussionists use everyday objects to create sound scores.

Dances
Devices
Sound
Body

We talked about kinaesthesia , and what makes audience members really feel something when a dancer is moving.
We spoke of Marshall McLuhan and technology and tools- how they become part of the body

Cognitive Therapy- BF Skinner


(Please go deeper than wikipedia!)

We used objects:
Metronome x 5
Alarm clock
Microphone
Chandelier
Crazy coffee maker
Radio

We spoke of smells: rubber motor smells, coffee, cinnamon.
We danced solos and together. Like a relay race

We spoke of AC/DC and  Topsy (not Zippy) the elephant who was used to make Edison's case against AC:

Animating objects
Harmony of sounds of objects
Messes and breaking things
Dropping things
Using the ceiling- pulleys, etc
Rhythm and repetition
