ooooooh it's an outline!

part1: setting up the space to an ambient soundtrack. setting up includes enclosing pipoung players with a cage, drawing a line on the ground surrounding the cage, and laying out train tracks on the periphery.

part2: quiet gamelan. pipoungs seated within cage and chang chang players carrying train around the tracks. train gradually force the crowd in towards the pipoungs (as if onto a train platform).

part3: gamelan plays the ups and downs, bursts of loud/silence. the audience is trapped between the chang changs and the pipoungs with nowhere to go.

part4: high intensity gamelan, flashing lights, chaotic motion, screaming, loud, you get the point.

part5: closure. mournful music, recorded music from the performers who can't be with us, other music? Possibly Mary May dancing a surreal version of Chiftitelli with a slow gamelan beat down at the end.

costumes: monochromatic neutral colored clothing. black face paint (should we think about another dark color? blue?) with an appliance over the nose, low mouth of white fangs, and high eyes painted on forehead. possibly latex gloves for creepy, sterile look...

what we need:
-for 3 pats of face paint, milk jugs for 8 teeth per person(katie can bring these), tape and latex for appliances.
-for train...big pieces of cardboard (# depending on how many changchangs we have - preferrably 4?), ducktape, silver spray paint, possibly dowel rods for texture. if anybody wants to add advertisement-esque signs to the train, go for it!
-for tracks (and line?)...a paint/marker/chalk that will glow on the floor, and a spongemop to create the lines.
-for cage...four poles and shrink wrap (Tim is trying to get this from work).
-strobe type light for part4.
-possibly filmstrip projector (Tim has this?) to project train images on the walls surrounding the space.

who we have:
definitely...Krispin, Austin, Tim, Katie
maybe...Damon, Diana, MaryMay, Victor, Conrad
who else?
