I receive the best news a mentor can receive, I am not needed. There is a book with a list of times, names, the group has decided to share processes as a group, each participant offering an aspect of their research concern. When I come in Thalia is leading the group, one moves the other stating only either οχι η ναι (cant put the accents in Greek typing...). Then Alexandra takes them through a 'flocking' exercise ..and 'Sweet Child of Mine ' is playing again...
We speak briefly about the sharing...it seems everyone is wants to find a way to share their research process as opposed to outcomes, great, OK I say, how do we do that? I ask. I will not be at the lab for the next two weeks (Circus calls), we decide to give thought during this time to ideas on this so we can then consolidate - possibilities, schedules, options- on my return (and Kiriakos will join us as well). This lab has really worked on exchanges of processes, there is less emphasis on making, good for me to see how different constituencies treat the lab, letting it be shaped by participants in relation to the input of the artists, their own concerns, yet still remaining faithful to the issue of investigation of choreographic processes, not just movement making... there is definitely a self-governing 'community' evolving here...

Eleni is next....she picks up on aspects of Alexandra but adds the possibility of breaking away so that various cycles may appear simultaneously. Nefeli in keeping with her evolving idea squashes everyone into her 'corner space' and tests what happens if....Thalia works with Zoi A
