The Natural History of Our History
by Megan Kurashige
Back in the summer, we asked everyone to write out a list of things they liked and things they didn’t like. Carson’s list turned into an idiosyncratic solo. Mine was mostly absorbed by a fragile and quivering dance that we are working on with Josi.
The lists floated in the background of our brains. There are certain things that seem to carry more heft, tricky and revealing quirks that reveal secret histories or open the way for invention. It’s interesting to listen to someone itemize things that make them happy or make them unhappy, the small and ordinary things that, when examined, are discovered to be like icebergs and fossils. They loom deceptively large beneath the surface.
This is the first take of something that Sarah is going to read while Carson dances.
Likes and Dislikes, Take No. 1
Words by Carson, Josi, Kat, Megan, and Shannon. Reading by Sarah.

Your performance tonight was really inspiring, powerful, subtle, elegant, and, well , super rad. You brought me back to the days when I was a child around my parents rehearsals and performances in North Carolina and in New York City. I am really thankful that Dan Wool invited and comped me for the performance, his music was killer. I will definitely come to see you perform again so you haveta put me on your email list and let me know. I am now a fan of your company and your blog, you both sound pretty damn cool to boot.
I am having a string of art shows and performance showcases in the Bay and in NYC coming up through 2012 and would love to meet you two and invite you to them all. Hope to hear from you. Much respect and keep up the good work, you are both incredibly talented and inspiring. http://felixthethirdrock.com
