2014.02.02 08:00 - Guardians' Session: BEING as PLAY

    Table of contents
    No headers
    Attending were:
    Luci, Aph, Aggers, Wol, San, Bruce, Bleu, Zen, Riddle, Eos, Eliza, Catrina, Xiri, Ari, and others in spirit. :)

    It felt so great to meet in the Molecule Theater, although our excitement ran away and over us at times. :) In the end, I believe we came to some clarity with regarding to moving forward, perhaps a balance on two wings. 

    :) When I re-read, I hear/see the plan as follows (please add to comments if you wish to differ or clarify anything!):

    - Objective:
    PaB and SL Intersections: 
    Inviting Others In & Reaching Out while not straying from Enjoyment of PaB as heart of the matter

    Wings (with no hierarchy of priority)

    Inreach - Close to our traditional way of things, with proposals and ideas for time limits/structure. We can work on this/play with this during guardians sessions for the time being, bringing needed guardian "business" to emails primarily. It would be good to select a 'voice' for this group - not to take whole responsibility - but to help bring clarity if things get confusing. My thinking is to nominate Bleu due to her experience in playfully and effectively coordinating us, but for now that is open. :)

    If we wish to choose another session during the week to devote to theater things, that might be a good idea too. (Whatever we do in the molecule has to be logged by someone from their hard drive, though)

    Outreach - Aph and San have kept contact with excellent performers from other groups, that we might learn a lot from, and might enjoy hosting. This is a key aspect of PlayasBeing actually... gracious hosting. Perhaps it will energize us to have these kinds of collaborative events. San and Aph are uniquely situated to act as liason with the other groups and will meet together to come up with a tentative outline to share with the group soon.
     
    Important:
    Although we would have this light structure for the sake of clarity,
    no one would be closed out from collaborations in either group!

    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): dunno
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): ghost has the controls
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): I'll bet Bleu is playing
    Agatha Macbeth: So long as he doesn't clank too much
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): several likely suspects... beginning to feel like a mystery dinner
    Bleu (bleu.oleander): want the lights up?
    Agatha Macbeth looks round for Miss Marple

    #Occupy....
     
    Zen (zen.arado): such a great facility we have here
    Zen (zen.arado): yet never use
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): welcome ... just glad everyone found their way!
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal) nods Zen
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): it was a good idea Eliza- maybe it will inspire us
    Bleu (bleu.oleander): great space ... we should use it!
    Zen (zen.arado): mayb we could do Hamlet?
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): we're fortunate... maybe we're not occupying what we have available
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): :-)
    Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): The poetry event was wonderful
    Zen (zen.arado): Bruce is doing the curse
    Zen (zen.arado): course
    Zen (zen.arado): ha
    Bruce (bruce.mowbray): ha ha!
    Wol Euler: heheheh
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal) laughs
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): curses!
    Wol Euler: a course of curse
    Catrinamonblue: :)
    Zen (zen.arado): the Scotish play I meant

    Other Groups...
     
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): I've expressed before, but I think it would be a good idea to have a show that we can invite other groups to sometimes
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): :-)
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): that says something about PaB
    Catrinamonblue: nods
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): Perhaps we can invite others to use our theatre
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): well, step by step
    Bruce (bruce.mowbray): Great suggestion, Aph.
    Eos Amaterasu: Zen, San, Liz, Rid, Ari, Wol, Luc, Cat, Xir, Ags, Bleu, Aph, Bru ...

    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): I'm in a commedia dell'arte play that is easily transportable
     
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): right now, even, we have a few shows that could be pulled together if we wanted to... but perhaps nice to start fresh
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): ah
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): and attendance
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): we DO have to be concerned about practicalities such as prims
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): maybe another poetry reading?
    Agatha Macbeth: And scripts
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): yes
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): on our 6th anniversary
    Bleu (bleu.oleander): and others not in group that want to build here
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): yes
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): yes
    Catrinamonblue: would ove another poetry reading :)
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): It would nice if we could meet others and share with other sims
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): poetry would be wonderful... now that we've done it maybe we could do more with the settings 'around' the poetry if we did, too
    Agatha Macbeth: I would ove it too Cat ;)
    Catrinamonblue: :)
     
    ...Can't do without Storm's consultations :)
     
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): unlike the village, we can't have a lot of people in here. We seem a small group but when all together we do take up resources
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): so.... we can think about that along the way I guess... how to reach out practically
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): I wonder what the maximum is...
    Zen (zen.arado): we had big crowds before though?
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): yes
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): /me nods.... had to pare down to essentials
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): we did
    Zen (zen.arado): up to 50 I thought Storm said?
    Agatha Macbeth: I thinks so yes
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): we'll be OK
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): 50, really?
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): yes
    Zen (zen.arado): can do without hair
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): Oh!
    Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): 50 is a big group
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): there were lots of people to our first performance
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): that surprises me.... 50 is a lot
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): let's ask storm
    Zen (zen.arado): maybe I'm wrong
    Zen (zen.arado): just a dim recollection
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): :::recalibrating expectations::::
    Agatha Macbeth: Could have concerts in here then
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): yes
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): yes- and poetry readings
    Zen (zen.arado): thought we had over 30 at a play performance?
     
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): One thing is,since we're not under a nonprofit umbrella anymore, we don't have to be quite as careful I think
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): we should still be wise
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): about how we collaborate
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): oh? when did that change?
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): we dont have to charge money
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): with recent kira changes Aph
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): ah
    Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): but we must be 'Moderate' :)
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): yes
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): we can invite others without charging them money
    Agatha Macbeth: Moderation in all things...
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): I did email Storm ahead of time... he gave me some pointers but my email isn't loading
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): the golden mean
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): :-(
    Wol Euler: in fact charging money is somewhat impractical. The convention is to put out a tipjar and encourage people to use it
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): nods
     
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): no desire to charge money... but be mindful that PaB does have its own chi so to speak
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): it works! sometimes people are MORE generous!
    Bleu (bleu.oleander): where would the money go?
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): we can ask that if people really want to give, they give to a certain SL charity/outreach
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): (with tip jars)
    Lucinda Lavender: sorry to distract, just trying out the flag
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): not have it come here with tip jars
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): but that's getting ahead of ourselves maybe?
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): small bites...
    Agatha Macbeth: Nibbles
    Bleu (bleu.oleander): better to donate to non-prof?
    Wol Euler: agreed
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): :))
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): what's wrong with tip jars. sssome of the best places have them :-)
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal) nods Bleu
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): Pema and Maxine are now supporting the sim Aph
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): so the desire is not to take donations anymore
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): OK
    Wol Euler: I respectfully suggest that we postpone futher discussion of tipjars etc until it's clear that we have something to present or to support.
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): and areas that Storm donates, too
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal) nods
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): I was thinking about others using the stage...
    Agatha Macbeth: Yes
    Zen (zen.arado): nods Wol
    Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): yes Wol :)
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): other sims
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): smiles at Wol
     
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): for now... how can we set up a kind of schedule to begin collaborations and brainstorming? donate these guardian sessions for the time being?
     
    Bleu (bleu.oleander): how about asking for proposals?

    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): Are people willing to invite other sims to use our stage?

    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): not yet
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): just an idea
    Bleu (bleu.oleander): ideas for performances, plays etc?
    Zen (zen.arado): some places invite artists to perform..like musicians
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): yes
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): yes
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): that's a good idea Bleu
    Zen (zen.arado): we could do that too perhaps?
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): ideas could be put forward to the group
     
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): I am thinking about how we can engage others
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): first we engage ourselves? :))
    Ari (arisia.vita): just pass out rings Aph :)
    Bleu (bleu.oleander): are we interested in being creative ourselves?  or only asking others?
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): bring in new energy
    Agatha Macbeth: We're an engaging lot
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): ok ok
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): hahah
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): i give up
    Lucinda Lavender: oops, I have to go, will check back if possible.
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): love you guys... don't give up
    Lucinda Lavender: bye for now
    Wol Euler: it might be easier to decide who and what to allow here, if we were to find out WHY we want to do that
    San (santoshima): bye luci
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): well everything I've suggested has been dismissed
    Catrinamonblue: Bye Luci :)
    Bruce (bruce.mowbray): BFN.
    Zen (zen.arado): bye Luci
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): not at all Aph...
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): bye for now, Luci
    Bruce (bruce.mowbray): BWN, Luci.
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): byee Luci
    Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): bye Luci:)
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): but we're *just* beginning
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): this
    Zen (zen.arado): we've only just begun

    A kiss for luck and we're on our way...
     
    San (santoshima): not dismissed... being discussed. the suggestions are rather braod and general atm
    Agatha Macbeth: Aww bye Luci
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): trying to narrow down steps
    Wol Euler: I'm sorry you feel that way, Aph, and it was not my intention. I just feel that we were getting into detail very prematurely.
    Bleu (bleu.oleander): is there any interest in reviving the "being theater players"?
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): by dismissing? we should be open to everything at the beginning and then whttle down
    Catrinamonblue: Would dearly love to be involved with a poetry reading :)
    Bruce (bruce.mowbray): YES!
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): YES
    Agatha Macbeth: Isn't that what we are doing?
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): put every idea into the stew pot
    Bleu (bleu.oleander): not sure
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): I sense Being waiting off stage, wanting to play
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): then see what's there
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): :)
    Riddle Sideways: yes
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): Being is trying on hats
    Catrinamonblue: to dream to be to write to play :)
    Catrinamonblue: lets all be
    Catrinamonblue: that which we are
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain) shuts up and listens
     
    Agatha Macbeth: Let us be, let us be
    Catrinamonblue: beings in motion :)
    San (santoshima): { had the meeting started yet }
     
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): Aph really don't want you to feel dismissed... eventually we will be able to bring others in but we are at foundation atm
    Bleu (bleu.oleander): one thing we could do if invite people (either us or others) to direct the Being Theater Players ... put on a production?
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): bringing in new people/ideas tends to trigger participation
    Agatha Macbeth: I'm sure Sun will want to be invlolved
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): yes
    Riddle Sideways: and probably need classes again on how to put on productions
     
    Eos Amaterasu: Pabbers the players, enter a director?

    Zen (zen.arado): we always wrote our own plays but that is a big task
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): we did that once
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): maybe... though, she isn't here yet and is up to a million things... Storm indicated that he is not able to jump in fully right now but would hope to be a part
    Agatha Macbeth: Yay
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): let me see if I can pull up his email again, brb
    Zen (zen.arado) wants to be Marlon Brando in 'A Streetcar Named Desire'
    Catrinamonblue: smiles
    Wol Euler will play Blanche
    Zen (zen.arado): heh
     
    Role of Stage Manager...
     
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): okay... he doesn't give very much direction but just enough if we wanted to use controls today:
     
    From Storm:
    There are two relevant facilities that the stage manager has. One facility fades the stage floor into or out of blackness. The other fades the dome itself, as viewed from the inside, between blackness and full transparency. The auditorium was simply set to both stage and dome being black. This was presumably to highlight the particles from the two PaB logo generators that Aph has left on the stage floor there. I've currently returned the stage to wood and the dome to transparent, though Aph's generators are still there (though easy to return if requested, as Aph may never find them again!).
     
    The controls for these two facilities are on the control/mixing desk at the back of the auditorium, above the stairs. There are also similar controls on the control box in the Green Room. The stage one is elliptical, white with a black dot. The dome one is circular, again white with a black dot. Neither are instantaneous; they both have a fade in and out time sequence. Be aware that you should operate these controls from either the control desk or from the green room, but not both, as I think otherwise they get out of sync (though multiple touches will still do the job)!
     
    In addition, next to these buttons, you'll find a red button with a green dot on it. This toggles the floor of the auditorium between red carpet and daisy grass. There's no fade sequence for this; the change is instantaneous.
     
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): what are we trying to control?
    Agatha Macbeth: Oh my
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): aren't we just brainstorming?
    San (santoshima): my brain is a storm
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): yes... just wanted to include Storm :)
    Zen (zen.arado): Yaku knows those controls
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): mine is a tornado
    Wol Euler: physical controls, aph, making the dome transparent etc
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): nods
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): particle mystery solved at least
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): :)
    Wol Euler: yay :)
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): does it matter?
    Wol Euler raises an eyebrow.
    Catrinamonblue: :)
     
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): what is step one? deciding we'd like to do something here (CHECK)
    Wol Euler nods.
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): (a transparent dome)
    Agatha Macbeth: Agree
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): nods
    Zen (zen.arado): yes
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): Step two? gathering and throwing out ideas and words (CHECK)
    Riddle Sideways: check
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain) nods vehemently
    Agatha Macbeth: Agree
    Catrinamonblue smiles
    Eos Amaterasu: intersections of PaB & SL
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): So we've made a lot of progress already...
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): but try to gather before you throw out
     
    ...We begin to jumble at step 3 :)
     
    Bleu (bleu.oleander): step 3?
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): one idea can lead to another
    Agatha Macbeth: You kiss and hold her tightly
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): Step 3 - organize a schedule?
    Bleu (bleu.oleander): lol Aggers
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): step 3: look at what was done before?
    Catrinamonblue: :)
    Bleu (bleu.oleander): Step 4?
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): laughs at Aggers
    Zen (zen.arado): sure seems like heaven to me
    Zen (zen.arado): wup wup woo
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): hehehhe
     
    San (santoshima): I'd like to see the Globe theatre troup Being Players might do)
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): yes
    Bleu (bleu.oleander): sorry, but have to go ...
    San (santoshima): they disbanded when the Globe sim shut its doors
    Agatha Macbeth: Oh yes
    San (santoshima): and they are Great
    Catrinamonblue: Bye Bleu :)
    Zen (zen.arado): byee Bleu
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): or the Commedia dell'arte players who dont need much
    Agatha Macbeth: Take care Bleuji
    Bruce (bruce.mowbray): bye, Bleu.
    Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): bye Bleu:)
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): okay Bleu... talk soon hopefully
    Bleu (bleu.oleander): look forward to hearing what you decide
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): bye Bleu
    Wol Euler: bye bleu, take care
    San (santoshima): byebye Blue
    Agatha Macbeth: Love to the dogs
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): wuff
    Bleu (bleu.oleander): byeee
    San (santoshima): hmm
    San (santoshima): my text above didn't all appear
    San (santoshima): i'll try again:
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): can you retype?
     
    San (santoshima): i'd like to suggest we invite the Globe Theatre players
    San (santoshima): to perform here
    San (santoshima): the Globe sim shut down
    Wol Eulere nods.
    San (santoshima): and that troupe was excellent
    Agatha Macbeth: Yes, got that San
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): yes
    San (santoshima): ok, ty
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): I agree, great idea San
     
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): is there someone from the Globe that would like to be a part of putting on a production for us, and perhaps giving us a workshop?
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): then we can use what they teach us?
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): I know a number of them
    San (santoshima): a moment, i'll find a name
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): they are part of the production I am currently in
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): Bajoy
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): I see....
    San (santoshima): Ina Centaur
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): nods
    Agatha Macbeth likes the 'joy' bit
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): glad she is still involved in SL...
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): smiles- Bajoy is from Australia
    Agatha Macbeth: Strewth
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): druth
     
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): the objective is for us to perform and play together at some point...
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): yes
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): and be creative
    Agatha Macbeth nods
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): and have fun
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): and learn new stuff
    Catrinamonblue: :)
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): the theater itself is marvelous, but isn't the heart of the matter... learning new stuff does sound great
    Agatha Macbeth: Yep
    San (santoshima): theatre structure makes that possible
    San (santoshima): it's a wonderful venue
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): indeed
     
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): The Commedia dell'Arte are street players that can go anywhere
    Agatha Macbeth: Maybe could have teachers, etc. to give lectures here?
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): good idea!
    San (santoshima): could be part of any exchange
    Zen (zen.arado): nods
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): a series of talks on theatre in SL?
     
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): I like all these ideas... collaborations could lead to interesting things
    Agatha Macbeth: If it holds 50 we could be sure of a crowd
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): nods
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): nods
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): but I guess I'm a little hesitant to get too interesting and leave people out that don't have a lot of time to devote
     
    Catrinamonblue: still would love a poetry reading :) I may not be able to dedicate the time necessary for a play
    San (santoshima): other artists, too ... thinking of Bryn Oh, et al
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): yes- she's amazing
    San (santoshima): theatre of the machina and performance recorded
    Agatha Macbeth: Me too Cat
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): she could build wonderful sets
    Agatha Macbeth: -M
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): me three actually :)
    Catrinamonblue: :)
    San (santoshima): and poetry performance can be on the programme for the season
     
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): a play yes..but it is sounding as though what is needed may be one or two liaison...
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): for a longer term vision
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): nods at eliza
    San (santoshima): yes
    Catrinamonblue: nods
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): Aph and San are you willing to be that?
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): sure
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): for this wing of the project?
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): sure
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): and some of us could be just playing in the meantime... in another wing
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): you can all come and see the performance this April and see how it works
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): but also participating in the more structured/professional things
    Agatha Macbeth: Yay
    San (santoshima): ok. could the roles be clarified?
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): yes - we can rub our heads and scratch our tummies
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): lol
    San (santoshima): and talk at the same time
     
    Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): I must go now...have a nice Sunday all!
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): bye Xiri :)
    San (santoshima): byebye Xirana
    Bruce (bruce.mowbray): bye, Xir!
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): I can aks Bajoy to come and talk to the Guardians one day if you like
    Catrinamonblue: Bye Xiri :)
    Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): bye:)
    Agatha Macbeth: Bye Xira
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): byee
    Zen (zen.arado): bye Xiri
    Agatha Macbeth: Hasta porno ;)
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): that's a nice idea Aph
    Bruce (bruce.mowbray): porno pronto?
     
    Eos Amaterasu: looking at Diggers in 1966 or so....

    "Two Diggers brought a huge wooden frame, twelve feet square and painted in bright yellow, to the intersection of Haight and Ashbury Streets. They called it a "Frame of Reference." Dozens of yellow three-inch replicas of the "Frame" were handed to passersby; the small frames were hung on straps so they could be worn around the neck. People were urged by the Diggers to look through the small squares so they could experience the event through their own "frames of reference." 
     
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): she will give you an idea of the possibilities. Maybe she can talk here!
    San (santoshima): nice, eos
    Bruce (bruce.mowbray): good one, Eos!
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): love it, Eos
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): giggles
    Catrinamonblue: :)
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): that's a bit of my wish to go a bit slowly for now...
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): I'll ask Bajoy when she's free. I'm rehearsing this morning with her
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): not to lose the uniquely PaB
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): no - we can learn how and apply to PAB
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): there seem to be different desires - we want to open the gates, for sure
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): that seems a desire we all have
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): in a few diff ways
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): 1 - inviting others in
    San (santoshima): what would you like to learn?
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): we are looking for ways to get PAB re-energized . This may be ONE way
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): 1 - just getting up and playing
    Eos Amaterasu: sharing PaB grace notes
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): sui generis
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): playiing out what we've been doing over all this time
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): hmmm
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): getting out of avi heads and into bodies a bit more :)
     
    San (santoshima): the medium is limited
    San (santoshima): it's a drag being online a lot
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal) nods
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): we need something to kick start us
    Catrinamonblue: Time is a big issue for me... I have so many things on the go in RL right now I barely manage a few sessions at PaB... and really have no time for anything else SL related...
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): kickstart sounds good
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): which might be an outsider!
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): yikes!
    Catrinamonblue: As much as I want to I can't seem to dedicate more time to SL
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal) nods
    Bruce (bruce.mowbray): Yikes!
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): thought you'd like that Bruce
    Bruce (bruce.mowbray): me?
    Bruce (bruce.mowbray): rally?
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): yikes
    Bruce (bruce.mowbray): really?
    Bruce (bruce.mowbray): Yikes!
    Agatha Macbeth: Really rally
     
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): if you Aph and you San are willing to be liaison, then it opens an opportunity to invite and inspire
    Eos Amaterasu: something small but satisfying and incisive with a stay with you flavour
    San (santoshima): sure
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): nods. but I want to do what the group wants
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): while at the same time, there is an opportunity to propose things we can do simply together

    San (santoshima): perhaps we could put together a proposed season of events
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): I can invite Bajoy to come and talk at a Guardians meeting...
    San (santoshima): and investigate possibilites ith thoughts expressed so far
    Wol Euler: Cat, I wouldn't be too worried. Practically speaking it's unlikely to be more than an hour or two extra per week, and likely not every week at that
    San (santoshima): and then the group can confirm
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): we can organize a series of talks on theatre in SL
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): that could work, San... we have room for both paces I think
    Catrinamonblue: I will try hard... I want very much to be involved
    Eos Amaterasu: theatre in SL, and echoing that in RL
    San (santoshima): and approve the season, make other suggestion
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): don't want to lose the *joy* for us
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): beginning in April?
    San (santoshima): perhpas Cat would like to organize a poetry even
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal) nods
    Zen (zen.arado): rehearsing a play takes a lot of time though I remember
    San (santoshima): or participate in that with someone else, as time permits
     
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): could be done through emails too
    San (santoshima): yes
    Catrinamonblue: lol I will give it a try..
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): doesnt have to be a long play Zen
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): it could be no more than 5 minutes
    Zen (zen.arado): remembers Sharon making us rehearse a LOT
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): if we devote guardian sessions, that could be free play time/proposals/rehearsals
    Agatha Macbeth: Aww
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): and then at the same time, collaborations could be organized
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): good idea Eliza
    Agatha Macbeth: Hope she's okay
     
    Wol Euler: 7n
    Agatha Macbeth: 7sm
    Wol Euler: damn and blast
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): lol
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): huh?
    Wol Euler: typo
    Agatha Macbeth: Hehe
    Wol Euler nods.
    Catrinamonblue: :)
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): ahh 7AM
    Agatha Macbeth: Wolese
    San (santoshima): { gad, typing ... one letter changes meaning entirely }
     
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): early for some...
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): and if anyone wants to use their session for theater things that could work too
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): nods
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): for a particular part, or informing the group
    Bruce (bruce.mowbray): whispers: sort of like "now" and "not.
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): :)
     
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain) wonders whether "Her" could be transformed into a play at PAB
    San (santoshima): no!
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): hahaha
    Agatha Macbeth: 0.0
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): lol
    San (santoshima): him
    San (santoshima): or
    San (santoshima): they
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): ok him
    Bruce (bruce.mowbray): omg, that would be complex one, for sure.
    Eos Amaterasu: Who is your typist?
    Agatha Macbeth: It?
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): we could keep it simple
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): Spike was spying on SL when he wrote that for sure :) lol
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): for sure
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): it could be perfectly adapted
    Eos Amaterasu wonders, who is my typist?
    San (santoshima): go for it
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): the universe Eos
     
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): Bleu doesn't have a lot of time but I think her experience with AoB projects is valuable here too... in moving the group along
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): yes
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): something likethat could be put into the schedule
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): maybe as a lecture to begin with
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): if we specialize.. say San, Aph other groups and maybe (not meaning to speak for Bleu) but Bleu, Cat on other wing..and some of us floating and finding our places...
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): we have a beginning
    Zen (zen.arado): floats along
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): we dont want to over commit but sounds promising...
    Catrinamonblue: sounds fun :)
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): yes
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): a lecture would be fun
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): no rush
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): time is the thing...
     
    San (santoshima): want to meet for virtual coffee, Aph?
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): :)
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): It could be part of a lecture series on performance on SL
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): sure san
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): yay
    San (santoshima): i'm free after next weekend .. crazy busy with being quiet until then
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): your place or mine?
    San (santoshima): to the treehouse
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): tell me when
    San (santoshima): a sec
    Zen (zen.arado): must go
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): and then email is a good avenue
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): I'm busy every day but can work around yr schedule
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): yes
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): okay Zen!
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): bye Zen
    San (santoshima): feb 10, or 11th
    San (santoshima): bye zen
    Catrinamonblue: Bye Zen :)

    Bruce (bruce.mowbray): bye, Zen!
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): perfect San
    Agatha Macbeth: TC Zenny
    San (santoshima): :)
     
    Wol Euler: e-mail is probably a very good way to start, it has the advantage of waiting patiently until one is ready to read it
    Catrinamonblue: :)
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): a Her-email
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): have enjoyed recent email threads
     
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): want to make room for everyone ... even those who have almost no time... to be able to participate
    Agatha Macbeth: That's if it arrives :p
    Catrinamonblue: :)
    Agatha Macbeth: Agreed Liz
    San (santoshima): meeting can be open for anyone intersted
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): great
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): thanks!
    San (santoshima): we can set a time and send out an invitation
    Riddle Sideways: thanks, bye
    Bruce (bruce.mowbray): cool.
    San (santoshima): will get back to you
    Agatha Macbeth: Take care rid
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): thanks Riddle
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): kk
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): san
     
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): hahha...so funny how things begin in utter chaos
    Catrinamonblue: :)
    Agatha Macbeth: like the universe
    Wol Euler smiles.
    Catrinamonblue: yup
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): the behind the scenes stuff... then on state looks so well conceived
    Agatha Macbeth: Good job we aren't running a country
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): lolllol
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): for all we know
     
    San (santoshima): is Storm interested in being involved?
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): yes... but not sure how much time he has to devote
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): he would 'like' to be part but not sure how able
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): many of us are in that category
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): Often he gets enthusiastic about something and then leaps in with both feet
    Wol Euler nods.
    Catrinamonblue: nods at Eliza :)
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): I am really excited but also juggling many things... want to preserve the opportunity to get in touch with my "pab practice" as well
     
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): I must go
    Bruce (bruce.mowbray): bye for now, Aph.
    Catrinamonblue: Bye Aph
    Agatha Macbeth: Bye Aphie
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): San & I will come up with something for the next Guardian meeting
    Agatha Macbeth: Act well
    Eos Amaterasu: ditto going, ciao, thnx, !! (())

    Agatha Macbeth: Bye E
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): I faint a lot...
    Catrinamonblue: Bye Eos
    Bruce (bruce.mowbray): bye, Eos!
    San (santoshima): we could have a fainting show
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): looking forward :) I'll figure out how to make the stage a circle for next time
    San (santoshima): that would entertain
    Aph (aphrodite.macbain): lol
    San (santoshima): ok, bye all, thanks ~
    Catrinamonblue: Bye San :)
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): bye San, all sounds good, ty!
    Wol Euler: bye san
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): >whew< need a nap, giggle
    Agatha Macbeth: Tc Sanji
    Agatha Macbeth: Aww
     
    Catrinamonblue: sigh.... now to find that time turner I thought I saw somewhere :)
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): hahaha
    Agatha Macbeth: Thought you just got up :p
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): yeah...
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): need processing time
    Catrinamonblue: :)
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): you put all the chaos in the box, and it comes out in a fully formed plan
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): (sleep box)
    Agatha Macbeth: Mettamorphosis
    Catrinamonblue: :)
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal) smiles
    Catrinamonblue: must go.. driveway needs shoveling :)
    Catrinamonblue: bye all
     
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): I'm liking the idea of two wings - does that seem good for you all?
     
    Bruce (bruce.mowbray): kk, me too, Cat.
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): bye Cat tc
    Wol Euler: bye cat, take care
    Agatha Macbeth: Bye Cat shovel well
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): bye Bruce, thanks
    Wol Euler: bye bruce!
    Agatha Macbeth: Snow use eh
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): snot sure
    Bruce (bruce.mowbray): THANK YOU, everyone!
    Agatha Macbeth: See you later Brucie
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): hahahhaa
    Bruce (bruce.mowbray): you too!
     
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): we definitely need pauses in these meetings ^^
    Ari (arisia.vita): the pause that refreshes :)
    Wol Euler: yep
    Ari (arisia.vita): the cream are the last to leave, or is that rises to the top, or perhaps just those who fell asleep? :)
    Wol Euler smiles.
    Agatha Macbeth: Seem to have lag suddenly
    Wol Euler: the secret inner committee, perhaps
    Ari (arisia.vita): right Wol
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): power nap
    Agatha Macbeth: The heart of the matter
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): ♥ ♥ ♥
    Ari (arisia.vita): the soul of discretion
    Agatha Macbeth: ♥
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): the heart is the thing..by which we capture the wings of the dream
     
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): I don't want to be a worry wart, but if things become too big a deal, some may just step back without saying why
    Ari (arisia.vita): good point Liz
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): we *must* take things lightly and happily
    Wol Euler: yes
    Agatha Macbeth: Ha
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): damnit, lol
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): :)
    Agatha Macbeth: Mm
     
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): we need all of us... all types
    Ari (arisia.vita): We have differences, but those differences are like the pieces in a jigsaw puzzle, each piece complementing the other so that when they join they form a whole more beautiful than either one alone.
    Wol Euler nods to Ari
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): amen, Ari
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): what we're learning, maybe, is how to channel the energies
    Agatha Macbeth: Could be Liz
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): not to be too new agey fru fru
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): :)
    Wol Euler: heheheheh
    Wol Euler: I have a FB friend who insists that "new age" rhymes with "sewage"
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal) grins
    Agatha Macbeth: He must have a strange accent
     
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): I love relentless positivity
    Wol Euler: heheheh
    Agatha Macbeth likes relentless Liz-ivity
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): there is a quote Eos first turned me onto... let me find it...
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): Padmasambhava said:
      My view is as vast as the sky, but my actions are finer than flour.
    Wol Euler: come on down :)
    Ari (arisia.vita): that's great, ty Liz
    Wol Euler smiles.
    Agatha Macbeth: I remember him in Dr Who
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): :) most welcome... think about that a lot, that we don't have to sacrifice the expansive view OR skillful, precise means
     
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): Padmasambhava in Dr Who?? LOllol
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): I think I've just found my play
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): hahhaha
    Wol Euler: heheheheheh
    Agatha Macbeth: Yeh with the yeti
    Wol Euler: intriguing premise.
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): yeah...want to do something like that.. some kind of mash up of unique PaB experience
    Wol Euler nods.
    Agatha Macbeth: That would be some mash
     
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): Bleu rightly pointed out that the group has blended with each of our lives in particular ways
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): I want to SEE that
    Wol Euler: mmhmm
    Wol Euler: very good idea
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): BEING as play

    Ari (arisia.vita): too shy :)
    Wol Euler grins.
    Agatha Macbeth: Just make it a non speaking part
    Wol Euler: you can be the statue of buddha
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): aw... yes I know.. can be hard
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): hey, there's an idea ^^
    Ari (arisia.vita): ah yes, a statue

    Wol Euler smiles.
    Agatha Macbeth: Didn't Sharon do that?
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): sheltering and dropping flowers
    Wol Euler does an interpretative dance pose with a leaf in each hand. "Like this"
     
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): I missed the second performance unfortunately... but I do think she was a dryad...blended into the wood
    Agatha Macbeth: Leaf well alone I say
    Ari (arisia.vita): :)
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): hm...
    Agatha Macbeth: Tree-mendous
     
    Ari (arisia.vita): We drift like leaves down the river of time toward an unknown destiny, unaware of the currents and eddies which lie ahead of us.
    And like leaves floating downstream, sometimes we are lucky enough to touch each other.
     
    Wol Euler smiles.
    Eliza (eliza.madrigal): beautiful image, Ari
    Ari (arisia.vita): ty

    OMG, Eliza! You've done it again!
    Thank you so MUCH, for bringing us together, and for Yoko, and for Nanci (although I profoundly disagree with Nanci's LBJ badge - even though I did vote [in 1964] for that bastard who planned and carried out JFK's murder...)
    .... but back to Padmasambhava's "flour" --
    We move on, and YOU make it possible. With maximum grace.

    THANK YOU, Eliza!

    And thanks also for your discretion! ;-)

    (((Bruce))) Sorry about Nancy's pin. :)
    But aren't the lyrics to that song wonderful... feel grounding, real.

    *Thank YOU*

    Such big hugs, Storm!

    And I do hope we will all get to benefit from your sheltering and wisdom throughout the process. :)
