Invisible Boundaries

Before I describe today's rehearsal events, I would like to take a minute to answer a question posed by a loyal reader: "Why don't we do spelling like this in school?"

After much deliberation, the cast and I decided that the best answer is: "because you do not attend a school that is run by heyokahs.  Aka, your school is boring."

I hope that was helpful.

Today we explored the idea of boundaries; physical boundaries, mental boundaries, societal boundaries, emotional boundaries, etc.  Who creates them?  Why? What purpose do they serve?

We talked about boundaries for a few minutes and then broke into groups of two.  Each group had to create two short pieces about boundaries, and then present them to the group.  Kaleena and Stephen did both of their pieces about accidental boundaries (what happens when someone is unaware of a boundary that he or she created?), Birgitta and Hossein did a piece about selfishness and personal space, and James and I created two pieces about bureaucracy.  So now we have an additional five sketches to include in our show.  Or not.  We'll see how it all goes.

Jim is supposed to spend the weekend reorganizing our script-mess into a rough outline.  I will share that outline as soon as it becomes available.

Also, stay tuned Sunday for pictures of some of our Heyokah costumes!
