(Wednesday)
N posted fliers.
N called B (late), M & A informed N will they would be late, Mk there on time. N sets up the Access Grid PIGs (A's and main view of stage).
N waiting for B and performers, we need to discuss strike, post show fun, and take a group picture.

Crappy Day! The bad tech walk-through (continues). Problems, Problems, Problems.

B is not here on time, and is making the dancers wait – C dancer must leave. P is rushing through Air at a frantic pace, and plays on top of M and breathes for me. He is trying to do too much himself. (Control +F, first one then the other.) P is forgetting to give cues, etc. P grumps N responds.
A on camera for water. N is unhappy with his images and wants the shape of the whole body visible, not just up close abstract parts. N is unable to direct him because P is not on headset—he's running around. N tries to show what she wants. N likes how P does it. Now A will start and finish and let P do the middle. (A later solution is that A does light cues while P does camera for Water.) (I was really concerned about water being embodied and letting the dancer dance with her water self, so I needed to see the whole body as much as possible. P did a nice job, and at one point it looked like she was swimming or floating horizontally. This scene seemed to work really well, and it made me happy because it was like a living version of the PSD art I had done a few years ago with nudes and nature. )

N clarifies the order with M and then tells P the actual Air timing: N breath, P wind chime, M flute, (images) P& M play. Yes, M says to P, you had been coming in too soon. N is very happy that she gets to record the inhale sound with Mk.
N uses light board for a moment under P’s instruction while he is on the catwalk. N asks M and B over headset about screen saver to black for PC (hot corners for windows). P says he will worry about that later. M and B very helpful over headset.
