Like many of our other drills as a company, it is so helpful to articulate what part of the awareness is operative at each moment of the creative process. Otherwise we throw out entire parts of our instrument simply because they are not helpful at one moment or the next. Defining the moments like this helps us stay open to the particular moment and challenges us to recognize HOW we can best be present in different moments of our process, while at the same time acknowledging that there is a different but proper "fit" from one moment to the next. To move from one aspect of craft to the next as nimbly as possible is part of the reason we describe exercises according to their appropriate modality. (Rehearsal mode, Skills Mode, Exploration Mode, Performance Mode.) <br />This kind of attention in the "spy back" is very similar to the skills we develop in the awareness exercises that we did in training last year. Perhaps it's time to fold them back in as a good compliment to the Chekhov work.Georgenoreply@blogger.com
