WHAT WE ARE DOING...

Hello Everyone,
I have been speaking with Becca and Jack (the host) on the layout. Between us the the NZ people, we have decided on our layout. Below is what we will need to do. They took our idea and with comprimise we have gotten to this...

Becca's e-mails

Hi Zuzana,

I'm taking this in today and we will have a go!

Thank you! Looking forward to it.

Hi Zuzana,

The group is working on creating a menu, this will be resolved on our 
Monday and they will also be sending through an invitation to the 
breakfast with details for seating arrangements etc. They are happy to 
work out how we arrange each groups provocations in collaboration with 
you. I did suggest today that perhaps Ohio takes care of one or two 
courses and then NZ takes care of one or two courses and we arrange the 
exchange that way, taking turns at driving the collaboration? They 
will have a menu for you by your Sunday evening! They will also send 
through suggestions for possible seating/video/screen/table set ups.

We thought it might be a good idea to do a test run for set up and 
checks. Would you be able to use a studio on Wednesday at 3.30pm? We 
can be in our studio then (it's our 7.30am Thursday). Otherwise any 
other timeslots that could work for you?

Hear form you soon!

Becca :-)



And the question is...

Hello everyone,

Can you all check to make sure that I am on your email lists. I am not getting any emails, (unless there are none). I know something is weird because I got a reply from Becca that was sent from Leann.

As for our response, Is there an email, or image, video, of something that was sent?

Im a little in the dark and Im not to sure why.

Thanks,

H

Below are images from what Zuzana and I did today. All the letters are staked out and are almost ready for seeds!

Response To Youtube Video

I watched the video twice. I decided to do some brief untimed writing about it, because the video gave me the sensation of something both planned, and unplanned.

moment captured, exposure, blank honesty, a question, devise, a plan, expose slowly, reveal, unveil, smoker to share, shyness, between my selves, underneath, a pose, breathing, quality, juxtapose the indoor and outdoor setting, sitting, wherever, a studio time/ space. suspension, green eyes, and thick lashes. hiding feet. cold floor. skitter. open. time spans itself. here with me now. taken. space between alone. today. yesterday.

Images

Here are some brief images form the group/individual excersises.Enjoy..my Dv tape is having some difficulties, I think the quality of the tape was effected so there are some skips..but otherwise.

I must say that today was one of the best times I have had in a long time, and I want to thank everyone for sharing it with me. I wish it could have lasted longer, or could happen more often, but since these things inevitably can not happen I am glad for the time had. It was really nice to interact with everyone outside of a structured classroom setting, and I felt I learned alot more about everyone from this experience.
I love play it keeps you young, and doesnt happen enough.
