six 12-hour shows, then two weeks of clean-up
January 07, 1996
The 51st floor was completely transformed; the vacancy filled with majesty. The cement field had grown from chalk drawings into an elegant grass sculpture, constantly creating and accentuating new juxtapositions; supplying a dead space with a certain soul.
first run-throughs
December 14, 1995
Saturday and Sunday we ran through the performance. Having never seen any of the choreography, nor heard any of the script, nor operated a sound board, I played it — pardon the sound op pun — by ear. The outputs...
lights and sound and union dudes
December 11, 1995
The lighting equipment came this week. Under the auspices of the lighting designers, Mike and I hung a variety of lights. Source 4 Lights. A relatively new, versatile lighting system. All S4s have identical bodies; the lenses, which for this...
stalkers
December 08, 1995
Mike D. and I decided to force the menial grassing task exclusively upon the volunteers, herein refered to as the stalkers. Today we built and mounted the second pulley system controlling five of the ten floating light boxes. Then we...
laying cabling
December 06, 1995
Steve showed me where the sound and light cabling was to be laid. The foam in these places was labeled and stacked out of the way. The miscellanious foam cuttings from Thursday and Friday were cleared away and grassing began....
frigin' phragmities
December 06, 1995
Phragmities is a foxtail grass. The blades range in height from twelve to twenty feet tall. This grass has come to be the bain of this experience. While beautiful and quite elegant to look at, the installation of this grass...
cartooning 41,000 sq. ft. of path
November 30, 1995
Mike and I arrived first and started cartooning (outlining shapes) utilizing twenty pieces of sidewalk chalk I bought at Woolworth’s and two blueprints of the floor. We eventually marked off about 41,000 square feet of paths, actor’s spaces, performance spaces,...
meeting Casselli
November 29, 1995
The paper-work cleared yesterday and Steve paged Mike and I to meet him at 509 Greenwich Street to meet Michael Casselli. Mr. Casselli, although I’ve forgotten his title, is in charge of rigging all of the technical fixtures for Equinox....
51st floor, for the first time
November 26, 1995
I saw the 51st floor of 55 Water Street today. Steve Spoonamore—my immediate supervisor and Production Manager—and Michael Counts—designer and director of 90° From an Equinox? Where are We? And Where are We Going?—were both in the space for preliminary...
6,000 pounds of foamcore
January 24, 1995
With the amount of work I’ve been putting into this project, at the end of every day I hardly have energy enough to write a journal. So, Tuesdays being my day off, I’ve decided to do weekly recaps. The foam...
