Monday, 9th June 2008: first rehearsal day


The Homing/In project begins. Meeting in the morning with Steinvor, Kally, Dmytro, Sheila Macdougall and Jonothan Campbell. Jonothan adds rigging for Kally's harness - giving her more options with silks and staying up in the air.

We listen to Dmytro's music and look at the space and the aerial equipment. I teach a class at lunchtime.
In the afternoon Kally and Steinvor learn part of Shana's Quicksilver solo and new duet material that plays with spatial relationships between the two of them and the space between and around the silks and the screen. We have approximately four minutes of movement, but it is not completely set; also, the questions of how the movement and Dmytro's music relate, and the role of the live-feed video projections, are yet to be seen.
