Day 11

Absent: Tyler

Finished reading "medea redux."
Compared with Diane Wolkstein's performance/video of Inanna.
Drew made an interesting observation in re: Inanna as a form of experimental archaeology, attempting to reconstruct the past. The problem might be viewed two ways:
1) How can we tell stories now the way people told stories there and then?
2) How can we tell stories now that have the impact stories had for people there and then?

I believe living theatre must be concerned more with the second possibility than the first.
