1965: Frat boys launching water balloons at other frats and crew boats out on the lake.
I'm so into this image. I want to choreograph a piece based on it. Too bad I'm not a choreographer.

dynamic tension
In my current draft of the dance, lights repeatedly come up from blackout onto this pose (or variations of it) and different scenarios unfold. My favorite scenario: when released, the silver bowl clatters straight downward onto the stage and the ropes (unattached to the bowl) flutter limply to rest. Perhaps the bowl-dropper rolls backward, but everyone else holds the pose. In another scenario (which begins with the pose facing outwards) petals are catapulted into the audience.
Wow, I love the ass-- everything, really, but especially the ass-- of the guy in loafers. Costuming has to replicate the photo as much as possible, although I might put the fellow in the button-down shirt in pants.
¡Another Who reference!
I'm reminded of Frank O'Hara's chinos, even though on closer inspection it seems no one is really wearing chinos proper. . . & I felt the same way about that ass! the ass, and the shoulderblade of crouching boy.
ps you are a choreographer; I totally want to steal the flutter and petals.
Yes, let's put the buttoned-down fellow in dark chinos. In one scenario, he will dance Frank O'Hara-- potentially recite O'Hara. I now realize that he always was Frank O'Hara.
Miss X. Tooknap, you can steal, but I'd rather you collaborate. xo
collaboration:

wait, did that work?
here it is with line breaks: just put it back together & paste in yr browser:

Wait, so, is your reaction to collaborative potential mixed? At once an Ode to Joy and a To Hell with It???
Dial-A-Poems blow me away, btw.
No, no! I'm fully invested in collaborative potential! I just like those poooms! pure joy!
Hooray! I will continue choreographing with the assumption that the boy in chinos will dance to this O'Hara reading. At another point, the ensemble will dance to excerpts from Messiaen's Catalogue d'oiseaux-- these delightful little bird sounds played on piano.
Maybe the lighter Petites esquisses d'oiseaux would be better, now that I revisit the Messiaen.
re: petites esquisses, it sounds like he's playing the BOWLS!!!! slingshot bowls, meditation bowls, Manut Bol, hari bol. bowl cut.
