the BUZZZZZZZZZZ
a few of us met at Mama Buzz this week to flex our brains and figure out where to go next.... here's what stuck with me as fodder for Sunday's rehearsal:

We started to look at each of the different potential outcomes here: massive natural disasters, a nuclear holocaust, a fiery hell on earth, yadda yadda, and really considered what stories were being told. Some of these narratives are spelled out for us, as in the bible, but some of them require a little more imagination. For instance, the nuclear story and the global warming story are both putting their faith in science, but the details there are quite different, as are the time lines. (as are the people who might tell each of those stories)
Thinking about the time lines of each of these stories, we went back to the idea of the doomsday clock. What if there were a clock to represent each of these outcomes? Which one would be closest to midnight? And if the clocks had all started at the beginning of their story, and kept on ticking at their own pace until the end, at what rate would they be moving? Imagining these clocks side by side, their relative paces become an interesting prospect for both sound and movement.
For Sunday, I would like each of us to really consider what our own story of the world is. When did it begin? How will it end? At what rate is your clock ticking?
