workshop with tere o'connor, day 1

taking a comp workshop with tere o'connor. he simply asked us to make a little phrase in 7 minutes (no pressure, no strings attached) and then we WROTE about them. bagh. talking. on the paper. but it's a good exercise... thinking about various audience members' perspectives (from religion to mathematics) and picking out little parts of the phrase that could correlate somehow. he calls them anchor points and i know i've ranted to people about this before (or rather, written in proposals... those are like rants, right?) about needing to create access points for everyone.

anywho. the second one was created by scrapping the first one and then creating a new one based on the writing. basically, a new phrase bearing the written ideas in mind but not a literal translation thereof. it's time to kill the dream of ever becoming a liturgical dancer.

to see some of the ideas in my writing, read below the videos after you watch them. also, those are squints and not sneers. i can't see.
