actors were read two quotes:
THE PAST - Fictional existents known only through the persistence of memory
THE FUTURE - (if it exists) Live only as possibility.
Actors wrote down memories of their character's lives. Actors wrote down what possibilities they were desirous of in the future.
they then choose to images to reflect the past and future and chose two memories or desires to share with the group.
below are the images.

Solnit Quote
in summation:
the landscape in which identity is grounded is not solid stuff; it's made out of memory and desire.

actors built boxes.
less objects though.
hysterical and useless
starting and then stopping
it always turns out dreadful
one of these days i'm going to grow wings
don't get sentimental it always turns out dreadful
you know who you are with
the emptiest of feelings
sometimes boxes open sometimess closed.
this is what open boxes look like (acid colors huh?)

ken brought new pages in so we re-read the play with new pages. ken left.
we used let down and lyrics from the original and a cover version. actors then created two monlogues with selected lyrics that provoked them and lines their characters say in the play.
this is them working on their monologues.
i don't know what's going on with these colors

Boltanski
This is a great book about the artist Christian Boltanski and time and forgetting and remembering and the nature of memory and the nature of art amongst other thigns. we used a poem in it by Tadeusz Kantor called THE ROOM. The actors then constructed a room that represented the play. Pictures follow
