You must be able to forget them when they are many, and you must have the immense patience to wait until they return. For the memories themselves are not important. Only when they have changed into our very blood, into glance and gesture, and are nameless, no longer to be distinguished from ourselves–only then can it happen that in some very rare hour the first word of a poem arises in their midst and goes forth from them. –Rilke Choreography Jacqulyn Buglisi Choreography and Performance Blakeley White-McGuire courtesy of Buglisi Dance Theater Performance Music Taverner Costume Design Christina Goamomo Lighting Design Kami Roush & Aysia Middlebrooks 1,3,5 Choreography and Choreography and Robbie Cook & Ellie Goudie-Averill Performance Performance Music Played live by John Osburn Lighting Design Kali Marquart & Mara Senecal-Albrecht hOw to bUILD a hOuse Choreography Stafford C.
