DAY 8 — 8 OCTOBER — TACTIC CHANGES, CLIMAX & ROUGH STRUCTURE

DAY 8 — TACTIC CHANGES, CLIMAX AND ROUGH STRUCTURE

DATE

8 October 2025.

DINNER-PARTY PREPARATION

The body was prepared by taking every body part to a dinner party, developing through gathering, attention to others, affecting/being affected, wildness, exhaustion and slowing.

GECKO READY

Levels one to five, with wink, high five, meaningful high five and time to end encounters.

LOOKING FOR SOMETHING

Pairs searched for something and were repeatedly instructed to CHANGE TACTIC. Route, urgency, relation, strategy and physical behaviour changed.

GROUP EXPANSION

Pairs merged into larger formations; a group could assume another possessed missing object or information.

CLIMAX FIRST

The group created a final tableau, activated briefly and precisely. The scene began at THE PEAK OF THE CLIMAX; performers then discovered an ending.

DEVISING

Generate material, focus on missing beats, divide into smaller units and reach rough structure by day’s end.

FEEDBACK

Lucia and Katie offered feedback, structural support and outside observation.
