The dancers were given a key word that Taryn pulled from their personal stories regarding what consumes them. They paired up, taught each other their solos, pulled key moments from those phrases and began to piece them together.

late night, thoughts pouring, never a moment away…
How can I generate more revenue so all the artists will get paid for all their hard work? Though the fundraising events were successful on my levels, we did not raise the expected funds. So now I must strategize even more. No matter what money always comes down to the centre of everything. Without it, most things are not possible. This for me is a constant constant game in my head and as the producer of this project, I am largely responsible for this. If there is anything that brings me most stress and worry, this is it. It never leaves me.

how does raw really feel?
In just three days, we have learned so much about each other that it is almost unreal. At the end of rehearsal we all decided to share THE personal story that every dancer wrote onto paper and gave to Taryn on the first day of rehearsal. This story was to be a specific time/incident/moment when we were completely consumed about something. We all had our stories and we all had more difficulty than not putting our selves onto the front lines and shared our most vulnerable side.

Rehearsal 1: The beginnings of confronting what truly consumes you.…
Being consumed, whether it be by love-work-desires to succeed, we’ve all experienced it. From the surprisingly emotional first rehearsal we had last night, I’ve come to realize that the way we, I, have been looking at being consumed is somewhat superficial. Yes I’ve been engulfed and have lost balance in my life because of love (usually the infatuate kind) and obsession and desire to achieve, etc. But WHY? What was the root, the thing within myself that drew me in and made me loose my grounding?

impromptu first rehearsal post….
the idea of consumption is bringing up the idea of WHY it is we ALLOW ourselves to be consumed….the dancers’ stories seem to point to what it is we are avoiding about ourselves. now it is more …WHY do we allow this consumption…? WHY do we distract ourselves?? the stories seem to reflect more personal questions than this unifying question of WHAT CONSUMES US? anyway….these are just my thoughts…
