present: Marc, Dale, Jeff B, Summer
We discussed the decision last week to structure a performance around “The Bear” and some Neo-Futurist style pieces. We’ve been invited to nail down a date by NCTC, and we’re going to ask for Saturday, November 14.
An old NCTC company member, Barbara Petzen, will be in Atlanta that weekend, and we decided to cast her. What could be her objection? We also will be getting in touch with Jeff A. to rejoin us for the event.
Summer and Marc read over some of the Neo-Futurist pieces and made some suggestions of their own. Marc wants to riff on the recent Hugh Jackman/Daniel Craig YouTube kerfuffle, where they went off on a cellphone user in the house: a similar incident in a NeoFuturist house would provoke no tirade, because there’s no concentration to break. It’s all a “matter of process.”
Dale keeps thinking of the phrase “It’s a noble profession,” but hasn’t found a hook for it yet.
We ran through “On Nude Performance: B” a couple of times and began to get the hang of it. We began to function as a company, actually, putting together the stage picture and the reality that has to surround this fiction.
Brady’s MIA status was discussed. Jeff will check in with him.
