each day i reconstruct what i did today

- breakfast. 1 egg + 1 corn tortilla + decaf coffee, gulped.
- tell the neighbor that their dog is stuck in a tree and thank the boy on the street who told you but was too afraid to knock on the neighbor's door because of the dog (in the tree).
- get free vegetables from the farm across the street because it's saturday.

- slow motion movement  - fucking the space - shaking. 5 minutes each.
- the polish exercises.
  - 1. move across the floor without using your legs, on your back, with your arms crossed across your stomach.
  - 2. same as above, but on your belly, arms dead at your sides.
  - 3. move across floor, legs up in the air, arms across chest. (you can move your legs.)
- low-slow-flow. contact improv, 5 minutes: stay low, move smoothly (flowing), move slow.
- lapdance. in duos; one person lies across other's lap, tailbone aligned with sternum, and rolls over and over toward sitting partner. sitting partner manipulates legs, torso freely, maintaining alignment; switch freely.
- tops and bottoms. in duos; again, perpendicular. bottom partner rolls, attempting to get partner on top to fall off; top partner tries to stay on top, using contact improv principles (i.e. keep giving weight, stay in contact, move smoothly.) switch.
- fixed point of contact. partner up, choose a fixed point of contact between your bodies, excluding the arms past the elbows and legs past the knees. move, holding this point (ex. left shoulder to right collarbone). repeat with a new partner and a more awkward point (ex. mouth to crotch, ear to ear, etc.)
- choose a partner. lie on top of them (face to face, top person is giving full weight) for 5 minutes. after 2 minutes, person on bottom begins talking nonstop (stream of consciousness). top partners go stand against wall and then choose new partners to lie on top of.
- 3-3-3. three people try to get across the floor, can only have 3 points of contact with the floor, must all be in contact with each other, only 3 steps in any given configuration. get across the floor. repeat as 5-4-3 (five people, four points of contact, three steps).

- eat lunch. walk to the co-op. smoke cigarettes. eat ice cream.

- read heteropatriarchy and the three pillars of white supremacy by andrea smith, slow. i.e., 1 person reads a paragraph, then discuss; reread if anyone requests; move on if desired. no need to read the whole article.
- questions game with movement: you can only speak in questions. move freely. ask questions. end whenever it ends.
- restage political theatre developed by keith hennessy/"turbulence" project -- a street theatre piece about the shooting of a bipolar man, 20 times, in a theatre in san francisco. (http://www.sfbg.com/36/17/news_tragedy.html)
- discuss pussy riot. restage "punk prayer/virgin mary, put putin away" with 3 people screaming lyrics (in english) and one person making electric guitar noises. discuss.
- ask keith for book recommendations.
- make out. discuss love and queerness and making art in this world-culture-economy. idea of a  support group for artists confronting political and social issues.

- bike home. check email. smoke a cigarette and try to call my friends. read about the shittiness of uchicago support for survivors of sexual assault and article ideas/submissions for the next issue of the country grind quarterly. drink wine. make macaroni and cheese. write a blog post and think about my day/life.
- bike to a one-woman show of the vagina monologues. cry and laugh.
- walk home with lover. look at the moon and blossoming trees. talk about love and past relationships and projects and freedom.
- eat toast.
