try this

I’m assuming most of you don’t know ASL well enough to follow much of what is being said in this performance. So if that’s the case, try this. Mute your system and just watch them. Not just their hands, but all of them. How they move, how they use space and their bodies in space. See what you get. Write down somethings about how they feel, what they are communicating to you.

Then turn up your volume.

I bet the sound track isn’t too much of a surprise.

frog and snake on Lux Aeterna

Totally the best use of Lux Aeterna I’ve ever seen. And funny. And puts humans in their proper place as far as the drama of life goes.

I have some music of Baaba Maal on my ipod but I hadn’t seen the vids that go with them before today. What wonderful joy in the sheer physicality of life.

I walked and walked today. After 15 days my headache has lifted. I came home to Toppah and Yazzie singing and Groulx speaking from his book Under god’s pale bones.

Start this video and while Toppah and Yazzie are singing read the poem by Groulx. You’ll get a sense of how well I feel today.

Drummer's directions

They are making the sound of the rain
they are making the sound of the rain

four singers are calling across the sky

eyes closed

mouths open
they are sitting in the four ways of the wind

singing
that we will get our bearings

(by David A. Groulx)

Also so cool.
