Breakfast.
Begin the Circle Work with the Primaries. Then look at the details of some pieces. More work on Thrak. Fine tune Tt pieces, individual & small groups work.
After lunch Marek, Marcin W & Filip leave to get some stuff and shopping. Marcin G & Jacek prepare the space.
Guitar Circle: at the moment Thrak is a big maybe, but it may be called out during the performance.
16:45 Begin the preparation for the evening:
Marek, Marcin G & Filip work in the kitchen and prepare the buffet.
Marcin W & Jacek clean both apartments and prepare the performance space:
We encircle at 20:05. Some guests already arrived.
We have space limitations, so some guests wait in my apartment, where Marcin W takes care of them. Some guests (smokers) wait in the other room, in the apartment where the performance room is. Marek takes care of them. Jacek waits downstairs, greets the guests and directs them to which apartment on the 7th floor to go to.
20:30 - all guests are present.
Tuning.
20:40 J leaves to invite guests into the Performance Space.
Performance of the Guitar Circle of Poland for 15 invited guests:
Setlist:
C Whole Tone Circulation
Intergalactic Boogie Express
Aspiration
Beehir
The Eye of the Needle
Non-natural notes Circulation
(J speaks to the guests)
Altana
Asturias
Highlights: Circulations, Tychy trio pieces & Asturias. As for certain Guitar Craft Repertoire (EotN, IBE, non-performed Thrak): it's good we made an effort and worked on it, we needed it, but we are not quite ready for this level of playing yet. We'll keep working on it.
Buffet for our friends and special guests: Marek's parents.
There's cous cous, fruit salad and carrot cake.
We get a very good feedback, people were into it. They express their gratitude, and ask to be invited again in the future!
Few friends mentioned, that what worked best were our own pieces and Asturias.
22:45 Begin cleaning up the space.
We complete by sharing comments & observations on our work with the Aims, the process & the performance. We also share what we've heard from some audience members.
Acknowledge AAD support and my neighbour's kindness in allowing us to use her apartment for our work.
Something is available after this weekend. From my point of view, we need to perform more, but we also need to focus on establishing solid foundations of playing. Dedicated work on the Primaries is needed, in order to things to move on.
Certain depth of work was possible thanks to some of us attending L3 this Summer.
We complete the Guitar Circle of Poland weekend at 00:11
