DAY 6 — SHARING / OPEN CLASS
PROTOCOL — DAY 6: SHARING / OPEN CLASS
17 MAY 2025
PHASE: COOPERATION
CHECK-IN
The final day began in a circle.
Questions included:
- What is alive for you?
- What is your research?
- What is your focus for today?
- How has your question changed?
Instruction:
“Name it.”
PAIR RESEARCH
Thirty minutes were given for research and work with the pair’s action-text.
The focus was on:
- precision of action;
- precision of the text;
- the relationship between action and text;
- the evolution of the research question.
Henry asked:
“Where is the light? Even in darkness!”
STRUCTURE AND REHEARSAL
The group went through the established structure.
The process included:
- rehearsal;
- clarification of entrances and sequences;
- cleaning the material;
- maintaining the research focus.
OPEN CLASS
The work was shared publicly as an Open Class.
Henry explicitly stated:
“This is not a performance.”
“We are continuing our research.”
The sharing therefore did not represent the completion of a finished work.
It exposed an ongoing laboratory process.
