We went and did something on July 4th weekend, no less! An Artists Summit in Vermont, complete with bonfires, dancing, spiders, and tears. A group of 30-some people, mostly (but not entirely) theater artists, gathered in a barn filled with air mattresses to share meals and make work. We decided to use the time away from daily life to develop a Piehole Gym - to come up with exercises that we could use in our ongoing practice. Each day we drove away from the beautiful wooded vistas of our hosts' farm to run around in a moldy abandoned ski shop downtown. Sure, others might have been inspired by the babbling brooks and lush greenery back at home base, but you should have seen this crumbling dry-wall, these mysterious dead birds, this shattered TV in the middle of the floor!
