This guy makes houses out of free stuff. Too bit and clean, but makes me think:

Scripture
So, following the idea of the moving people on stage at all times...
Could the script perhaps live as a series of stories? Since that is what Baba Yaga exists as, and hopefully this project will convey something of that existence, it makes sense to me to work in that way. The transitions could therefore be a more physical aspect of the show with all those actors, maybe shifting things around on the set as well, maintaining that organic aspect and bringing the space to life. Perhaps the transitions could be flexible and even improvised by some cast members, so long as they're doing things that make sense.
So I propose we discuss this and then come up with a number of sections we want - do we still want to begin and end with Rachel and/or Audrey's similar stories? - and I am willing to write a couple if someone else will take some on as well. If I know who else wants to write we can decide who wants to use which content (characters, themes, motifs??) to prevent overlapping stuff, but also to establish threads and later discuss order. I think this can be less stressful the more people helping move this part along, and I think collaboration will be the golden ticket. Lets do it.

Ensembleee
I was thinking about casting (imagine now that I have just thrown up into my hand)
How to people feel about making this more of an ensemble cast to the point of, like, they are all in each scene even if they are just playing a chair, and they switch constantly, denoting changes with their bodies and with possibly like a scarf or something? I think that it would go along with our whole multiplicity thing pretty well and would create this other world more completely. How would this affect our writings. Does it do anything for ya'll?
