open studio rules.

I am republishing the guidelines for my practice both to keep them fresh in mind and to bring in a new perspective through some minor amendments. Check out the original post.

My art is fleeting and I am working in celebration of that. Here are the "rules" for my process:

Objective
Reconnect with the unique body performing.

Rehearsal practice
- rehearse weekly, but do not restrict yourself to a specific duration (a practice can last 15 minutes or several hours)
- do not video/audio/photo document these rehearsals
- warm up with music, practice without it
- never use a mirror
- if you can't get studio time, use your living room
- write your thoughts during rehearsal (and post the notes here)
- put out seating for viewers (using placeholders if no chairs are available)
- open your doors to anyone who wants to watch you rehearse and offer q+a time at the end
- perform as often as possible in as many different environments as possible
- include these notes in programs
