Phenomenon
With such a dynamic art form that deals directly with the human life and its presence in an artistic endeavor, dealing with not only the aesthetic and spectacular pleasures of society but the emotional journey of its audience in order to implicate change throughout, the in between people remains a phenomenon with a strong foundation and purpose – to shift the balance back to the phenomenon and spectacle that is the human life and therefore its interaction with its surroundings through mind, body and spirit.
A type of theatre that is able to circumvent all constraints.

Rehearsal Log – June 16 2010
The Literal Encounter vs The Embodied Encounter
We began todays rehearsal with a conversation circle. Just to allow us to talk about what has been on our minds in general in life.
Then:
Part 1: We created the literal visual manifestation of the Missing Piece Meets the Big O. We assigned a page to each ensemble member and then created the visual picture of what this story is. We then talked about how it is inherently impossible to be able to portray or show what the Big O is at ages past our own.
Part...

Awareness’s's’s….’s – really there’s 4
Post for May 26, 2010
It all starts with you. That’s a pretty loaded statement and in the context of our project, it’s even more loaded. Today we talked about awareness. Not necessarily about awareness along the lines of environmental awareness or social awareness, but what we soon defined as “Circles of Awareness” – 4 to be exact.
The first circle of awareness is that of yourself. Self Awareness. It’s not about your awareness of your positioning or what you’re saying – its about being aware of the whole you – the limitations...

Subway – its strictly functional
Post for May 25, 2010
Today we began exploring the idea of awareness. The ensemble was asked to go home and find a piece of music that they identified with. It’s that one song that no matter where you are, who you’re with, what you’re doing, it just does it for you. It puts you in that place where nothing can touch you. So the idea is that you take that song and the next time you’re on the subway, you play that song, take a moment and then look up and allow the world to unfold in front of you.
The point of this exercise is that through your...

We Begin…
Post for May 24, 2010
So this week we began the journey that I’ve been waiting to begin for so long. The In Between People – a name that came out of a joke conversation in a car turned company, turned self-titled work – now with an ensemble and a direction.
Beginnings are not without foundations and not without middles and ends. I’m not sure what this piece will become, what the middle and the end will look like, but what I am sure of is that we will build something worthwhile.
So it all starts from this childrens book by Shel Silverstein: The Missing Piece Meets the Big O. ...

The Spectacle Experience
“The power of the performer to cause affect within their audience is based on the power to align the perceptual world of the imagination with the physical world of reality in order to activate the reality of the venue through the imagination of the audience using the newly defined performers aesthetics, therefore asking the audience to interact from a place devoid of chronology and without the need for narrative; a bridge between imagination and the reality of the moment. We as performers lend ourselves to the potentiality of the audience’s ability to create and believe...

behind the work…
“The human body, present and spectacular in its immediacy and complexity, present on an empty stage devoid of context or narrative carried with it the effectual potential to significantly alter and affect the perspective of the onlooker.
This context could be considered a distraction from our experience within the real moment. The real moment is an encounter in time and space between the present body and its other, whether the other is placed internally or externally. The body is a spectacular collision of perception, imagination and physical substance, and the encounter,...
