Alex and I met yesterday for another rehearsal. It’s back to wire again: the wire remembers my movements so it allows a more articulate ‘vocabulary’ than the string I was working with last week.
This week we worked most on developing our respective vocabularies: mine in manipulating the material and his in describing my manipulations. In this video we’ve found a good breadth of movement and the timing looks fine, but I’m keen to reintroduce more grammatical and functional signs to clarify the distinction between my gestures and his. Last week we were having difficulty keeping our gestures sufficiently synchronized; this week I think we’ve gone too far and caused them to match too closely.
