I had a dream about our show last night. I can't remember what actually happened in the show, but I do know that all the ladies were in colorful early 60's party dresses with poofy skirts and hairdos. I also remember that the set was like a giant swanky multilevel chill out zone. There was a main level with an enormous low profile sofa, long enough for everyone to sit on together. There was a baby grand piano. In the back there was some other furniture on a slightly higher level. Maybe a bar also. Stage left there was a very wide, steep ramp down into a sunken chill out room with two sofas facing each other and a long coffee table between them. The entire set was carpeted and thrust super far into the audience. It was more like a Vegas show or a television set from the early 60's.
I think that watching the video Allie posted of that awesome Meg Stuart piece from TBA a couple of years ago got me thinking about carpet and levels and wearing more formal clothing. What if the space was surrounded by a giant sectional sofa or if there was a sunken living room in the middle of the space with sofas on three sides that was open to the audience?
