Next meeting. Monday night, May 7th, 8pm. I'll find a space to move in that we can meet at.

Monks not present last night: Please add your input and it's all negeotiable. Let's chat about the story here and images we want to add. Please come to the next meeting with ideas. Morgan and I will scope out the bins for skis and probably put our heads togetha. Bryndl will be back from Cochella by then...

Images we're crafting into a story (i think we're still fuzzy with the details, so input ideas are good): Going forward from our year of the balance of dark and light. We still want to play with idea of the bag of shadows thing, but it's changed and morphed a bit. We want to play with the idea of the abduction of the child as a kind of representation of rebirth and stages of life. Starting with a teacher showing the child how to tap dance and then the child is lured away by the shadow guy near the bag of shadows on wheels thing where bryndl and/or some others are in the bag. Somehow the bag is opened probably by brent on stilts and then there are 2-3 faceless people on skis doing some kind of neat lunging and stuff. Somehow the child pulls bags off the ski dancers faces. Ski dancers where black pants that cover the ski boots and a long hood that can be flipped from one side being white and the other black. Interactions between brent, ski dancers, and child. Maybe bryndl or some one else from the bag is the antithesis of the abducted child? We're talking about making some kind of weird long arm things to go with the skis. Does the teacher come back into it? do we want it to go full circle with maybe then the child teaching the teacher something she learned from the shadow people? echoing movements? etc....Other images: "dark has the candy." dark gives presents to the child. Clock machine with movements echoing the clock.

let's solidify the story on here or by the use of celluar mobile telephones and electronic mail before we meet again to move on May 7th...love!
