What will it feel like when I see you again?

Tender/intimate moments


Explore being indulgent

If it won’t culminate in performance what will it culminate in?

Be open to the space developing the idea.

Can I get the same catharsis as when I perform?

What does it mean to perform for yourself?

Don’t want to reign it in

Can I let myself tap into what I’ve been pushing down for so long?

*play with glass

Hello this is Kirsten it is Friday January 15th 8:44pm. Today was awesome, it was so fun. I woke up really excited to work and got to the house pretty early. I set up in a room with a sink and I worked with some of the moss (1.) and some of the materials that I bought yesterday and there was some really awesome light in that room (2.) which we haven’t really been getting because its been so cloudy so it was fun to play with that a little bit. And it was really fun to play with that character […] I felt like I was being some sort of fairy or oracle. […] Then I left and I went to dollar general and got some yellow gloves (3.) and a white t-shirt to play around in the afternoon […] as a new character (4.) (5.) in another room. And that was a bit trickier, I felt like I wasn’t getting into it as much as I have been the other days. So I spent a long time and recorded a bunch of videos and I watched them when I got back. I’m frustrated with myself for not just trusting the work, I was being really judgmental in the moment when I felt like it wasn’t working. But now, watching these videos back, I feel like no, these are good, there is stuff there and I’m excited by them. So that was an important thing for me to witness and remember in terms of my practice because I can be way too quick and judgmental in the moment […] I got home and uploaded a bunch of stuff and started playing [all the videos] simultaneously, next to each other and that was kind of interesting (6.). There are moments of synchronicity and dissonance that are beautiful and exciting (7.). […] I’m wondering about playing with that a little more. I think that’s all for today. It is now 8:51pm on January 15th and this is Kirsten signing out!
