love story free written in CRY rehearsal

Love fooled Somebody into thinking she was dead. She curled herself up real tight and concentrated like, off in a crevice of a shadow, in the dusty attic where spiders propagate inside the no flow part of Somebody's pericardial tissue. She formed herself up into a hard knot and Somebody forgot how alive she ever was.

Somebody walks around with a hunch, unknowingly trying to cradle love with the inside of the underside of his shoulder. Somebody feels the pain of trying to stretch love against her will, before she's ready, when he opens his heart up in the morning; feel a a twinge like a laser prickin' him deep past his armpit and someplace he can't quite sense, right in his chest.

Somebody resolves to take a deep breath and stretch through the twinge,and love sighs and uncurls a little. Somebody jumps rope, plays hopscotch, plays dance dance revolution. And love--well she shakes around, has to stick out her hands to keep from bumpin' against the inside of Somebody's ribcage. She gets a tickle from the air touchin' her newly unfurled surfaces and lets out a laugh that's more like a dusty chirp from a voice long quiet.

And Somebody hears the chirp someplace in his spine bones, a little buzz that reminds him he's alive.He's confused by the sensation. In his confusion Somebody looks out through his eyes into Somebody Else's eyes and catches a little twinkle of chirp in that confused son of a bastard, too. And Somebody and Somebody Else stare at each other, confused and buzzin' and chirpin' and not wondering what it all means.

How do you kill love...

Is a recurring question in JSun Howard's current performance process, Cry.

Today's answer:
By thinking it unworthy of everything you've got.

my first attempt to describe ADM

A resonator is a liminal sphere with sensitivity to frequencies the musician chooses to channel, the earth being a macro resonator. With each of our resonant instruments--drums, strings and gourds, skeletal structures, etc--ADM creates a sphere of resonance together in which communications beneath and beyond the realm of language are fostered and take life.
