Sending you some warmth from the desert. Sure wish I'd had that snow
blower when I got snowed in at my brother's cabin a couple of weeks ago!

Good Go Philim! Sorry I missed the grand event and sorry to miss
you. but it
is wonderful to see you alive and well here online. And just for the
record,
we here in Washington DC (or close to it) are at the tail end of the
largest
snowfall ever recorded in this area. Outside my door there are 35
inches of
snow on the ground. A few miles away there are over 40 inches. That
is a lot
of snow anywhere. Thank goodness I had invested in a serious snow
blower
which has totally be put to the test and passed with flying colors
-- or is
it snow? And just to make things more interesting the power went
missing.
Temperature in my bathroom got down to about 50 -- and the forecast
for next
week is for just above 0 -- and that isn't centigrade. But thanks be
to the
Great Spirit, the power has been restored. fun time for all!

Subject: Devoted and Disgruntled 5 Report
Dear OS List friends.
It's amazing but it is now five years since I first dived into Open
Space after reading Harrison's book. At that time I had never been to
an open space event had no idea what it looked like but knew it in my
bones.Since then we have done Devoted and Disgruntled 5 times and
done one in Scotland, one Brazil, one in in NYC and one in Newcastle
will be doing another one In Newcastle in the coming months. Been
asked to set one up in LA etc.. its become a growing community of
people who are devoted to theatre and want to use the fuel of their
disgruntlement to change.
I remember that the thing that really inspired me to read the book in
the first place was Harrison's intro saying OS belonged to everyone
and would never be certified/owned/contained etc we should all just do
it. It reminded me of my own feelings about Impro and its relationship
to the many attempts to categories, teach, quantify it. In the end
Impro just was and would appear where it wanted. It also reminded me
of Robert Le Page's advice to "Mummenchance" theatre that they must
"Give away the recipe." He was referring specifically to the recipe
for their squidgy changing putty like masks. But he meant this as a
wider metaphor to look after our own creativity. We must gift the
recipe not guard it.
In this spirit here's our fifth annual report on the state of people
who are passionate and responsible about theatre. The event is an
annual 2.5 event on third day we reopen the space for whatever people
want to still talk about and do.
So here's the report
http://devotedanddisgruntled5.blogspot.com/
and here's a visual representation done from the report by wordle
which i love. It's a big theatre word sitting in a nexus of other
issues! I think it gives a better feeling representation of the event
than the report.

Yay!!!!
love and thanks for your support to do this in the first place.
