1.1 Tutorial log, 04/05/11

how wide is this one...... i wonder how wide ...... again ...... the samw question hmmmmm how wide is a good width for what we wnat to do hello xristina hello xristina hello oh and hello audience from the sunny london is that you FR? yes :))) ha ha sunny wow we had thundery rain this afternoon the power went out! b/ 1 beautiful backdrop yes christina would you like to pick up an av and come on stage ok you have your web cam or a choice of any of these only a sec Vicki... er Do i have to stay and record? oh not your webcam in here or do Ihave to go? oh FR Christina?

2 christina frnacesco francesco should i have my webcam or not? our fabulous UpStage documenter is interested in recording this tutorial how you you feel about that? yes, I had an email from fr...it is fine. I AM GOING TO LET HIM KNOW WHEN WE ARE GOING TO HAVE OUR REHEARSALS cool well there is your answer FR great [vicki] < give me a chance ot brush my hair> so should i use my webcam? ok I'll be silent hahah oh christina your webcam is on our stage we can add it here if you like? or discuss how you want to use it? it is fine...i can add it pok cool ok hello again hello! helo even so christina on your stage is just the cam yes tell me what you plan to have happen in UpStage i am not going to use any avatars ok for the moment

3 so the cam will on stage and speaking to the audience yes but not at the whole time ok walk me through the show and I am not still sure about using or not using this voice text to speech or a recorded voice? music yes good actually the white noice the white noise? a recording of it yes ok so audience arrive what do they see initially http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KaOrSuWZeM they are going to see the image with the red flower yes you wish it to be uploaded as a backdrop yes do you know how to do that? oh hello friend! i have uploaded some backdrops oh good this is evi hello evi Key Or a hello from evi would you like to come along on stage evi

4 or are you happy sharing xristina's cam evi couldnt brink her laptop oh ok well no problme we are going to share today my combuter do you have a login evi? yes ok cool [vicam] < i willhave to type fast to keep up with the 2 of you!> do you know how to speak in different ways [vicam] < thinking> no or speaking OR SHOUTING couldyou pleaseinformme? here are a series of commands LIKE? that's it erm i just realise the speech commands are not on here the : is think and ! is shout [Grusha says] the name change is useful because although you can show and hide your name change Grusha to something else? like so it will always appear in chat well grusha os imortant to your show no? is important so that makes sense IF you were to use other avs

5 like this invisible one grusha says was chosen in order to have the third person of brecht's methodology great it is not necessary to change any thing for the sake of it just working out what you know and need to know so the audience come in they see the flower backdrop and then they hear white noise constantly? thw white noice is later ok so both you and evi will be operating the things you have in UpStage will you be both in a webcam yes or only one? or two cams? evi is performing i am helping backstage ah ok cool and you are both in the same place to perfrom so whispers in not really necessary for you yes it is helpful for remote players audience do not see it you have no avs what other backdrops will you use? most of them are already uploaded ok i am loading that stage now so the story unfolds? oh i left my cup of tea there! sorry that was messy of me

6 hahaha no problem great tx i will clear it will you use drawing tools? yes wow great backdrops! thank you we have more comming.... fantastic are they your images or ones you have found or made most of them i found them on google ok when i typed egypt huh wow that is the great thing about your show even the flower one and the chair one these are my favourite the chair is great i imagine who will be sitting there i love the women too such beautiful faces so the audience arrive the flower is there what happens next? sorry for that hmm sorry? so everything is about grusha and the audience yes

7 at some point http://www.facebook.com/#!/profile.php?id=100002370047493 the audience are going to facebook to find simon and leave him comments ok about grusha you will direct them to go and do that? while they are in the show grusha will ask them to communicate about her because of the ibte internet blackout in egypt so they go off and find him and friend to him and become the means of communication between grusha and simon yes right that's it and they will also be tweeting? yes... somthing #simonand grush or something like that i am going to creat his twitter the following days will you or evi be sending back messages to the people from facebook back to grusha? ok yes cool for this first performance no ok so this time grusha will not find simon just messages to simon ok .....until november

8 great a long search! haha also we are going to use in the end the reset effect button oh so everyone reloads! yes... like there is a glitch a crash an internet blackout but after the reload is the end grusha is gone aha so for the first show evi will appear on cam yes and the backdrop will change yes at first she will chat with the audience to find out who they are their locations etc will you tellyes yes do you have an idea of how many may come on the 14th? no have you thought about having some text to add as audience to help the story develop should your audience be a little reticent?

9 only the one that the audience left already some hi ok so when grusha sees them she will start desparately oh excuse me! a big sneeze haha bless you she wil start desparately communicating tx yes ok in the beginning it will be narrative so you pay a lot of attention to the audience numbers ok and acts signified by backdrops great and is there a schedule of perfromances you will make? between now and november whule the search happens? while yes...for my research i am going to start different attempts from september great not only by the use of upstage in the end... in two years fromnow i am planning to do a performance and combine everything i did so this perfromance will develop over 2 years toward your final presentation of the work for your PhD

10 yes.... grusha and simon may leave but the main theme will stay yes it is great i think it will be very successful thank you do wi i wonder what help i may for you now you seem to be very rganised do we have any limit for music uploading ? yes there is a file limit upload limit is it still the 1MB ? oops sorry i clicked off stage no problem there is a problem for the stage loading if you put too much media in there as in it will take a long time it is better for you to have small as possible for file size the limit is 2mb but also is it a way of uploading a video? were you expecting ti use a lot of big files? yes liz: hi Soooo sorry - i forgot - but had it on my diary - no excuse no just for the music took ages to load - liz hello liz liz: kia ora hell liz

11 this is evi and christina Liz: hi you two liz is on the curatorial panel i mean hello sorry she has worked on many shows yes hell liz what time do you call this! Liz: hell!! Liz: late time as part of active layers never no no liz no probs it is a big load this stage liz is on a vodem internet Liz - hows it going - apart from media overload (????) that is not broadband LIz: sometimes quite fast tho' so xristina in order to have video the best thing to o is make it a swf file by loading it into flash import as quicktime but also the same caution about file size [visual vi] < timely entrance liz> thank you do you have flash? are you able to use it? i ll find a way to find it and use it ha ha i like your enthusiasim i have just upgraded my computer and cannot get flash working at the moment

12 i am looking for an alternative to use for making swf files but at the moment they are the best for creating avs especially in here <- liz deafish> sometimes you can buy old versions - very useful ah cool thanks liz i have old version BUT doesn't seem to like new mac <- liz deafish> I bought I think it was flash 8 - very cheap and no key number bar from? <- liz deafish> will just look <- liz deafish> trademe ah cool sorry xristina and evi classic tutorial everyone learns soemthing for you music files they will need to mp3 to be mp3 do you have audacity or similar? i am using v-downloader so they are mp3 what is audacity? it is opensource wave file editor http://www.flossmanuals.net/audacity/ this is manual for its use we have the UpStage manual on here as well thank you there are couple of grphic ideas but we need to work more on that also http://www.flossmanuals.net/upstage-user-manual/

13 but audacity is good to edit the file so if you just wnat to use bits of a track etc great then you can compress it as much as possible perfect that is very helpful also if you want to have a long bit of music maybe chop in two oh phew great so what else? <- liz deafish> I have macromedia falsh 8, macromedia flsh mx - and one was part of studio8 that i bought on trademe. I have a newish imac - and it is sufficient for my upstage stuff liz oh many thanks liz it is weird other of my macromedia stuff works when i copied it over just not flash phtoshop works but not final cut weird i did quite a big upgrade though so evi and xristina what else this for now than you very much liz has read your proposal she may have some comments for you but i think from our conversation today

14 you seem incredibly organised and ready for action on the 14th i m looking forward to it thank you... hope in a good outcome i think so <- liz deafish> sorry I dint see what you were doing - so how about I tell you few notes i made - <- liz deafish> and see if they are relevant ok <- liz deafish> ? yes i think that may be good yes don't loo so woried you two! hahaha look i mean <- liz deafish> I have : - a lot of media to cover in a 20 min(?) show. <- liz deafish> is that webcams etc?? 1 webcam backdrops <- liz deafish> ahhh and music <- liz deafish> aha <- liz deafish> I guess the other thing was - maybe and a video...we will see... dont want to be too much <- liz deafish> well you will find it when you rehearse..... <- liz deafish> timing [visual vi] < always important> <- liz deafish> but - i think I am guessing ahead of your preparation! <- liz deafish> just remebering lots of tussles we had <- liz deafish> with handling lots of media <- liz deafish> are you having just one stage???

15 yes liz evi and xristina have already a lot of work done - check out etheatre stage also <- liz deafish> yes i noted that - and thought that it wouldnt be a problem evi is in the webcam and xristina doing 'backstage' <- liz deafish> wooohooo! cool yes usually everyone is fighting to be onstage hahahaha <- liz deafish> how will you get people to respond in twitter etc? it is great to have someone handling the media we will ask them to find simon shashava <- liz deafish> are you recruiting audience memebers? it is their choise to use fb or twitter <- liz deafish> yes - I guessed that - and leave them a message about grusha <- liz deafish> but am thinking that someone <- liz deafish> should be a <- liz deafish> 'freindly' audience memebr not only <- liz deafish> like friends - or sometimes we can do it <- liz deafish> to get audience started [visual vi] < ha ha i had the same thought> <- liz deafish> sometimes they are FRUSTRATINGLT silent <- liz deafish> frustratingly <- liz deafish> frustrating we prefer to test the audience....this is the challenge there is a narrative to begin

16 yes it is god you feel it out yes...and questions liz is right though audience differ al the time <- liz deafish> sometimes you see that there are 4 or 5 there - but NO response we don't have certain reactions inmind great we will keep up silence is a way of interaction some audience do prefer to just enjoy the show yes presence is important evensilent some audience cannot stop themselves chatting away <- liz deafish> hehe haha [visual vi] < even though sometimes its completely irrelevant> <- liz deafish> you two look very anxious we hope someone will yes <- liz deafish> I think that is where we can be helpful it is early in the morning [visual vi] < i tried to calm them down> yes it was thank you <- liz deafish> start a comment if there is that awful silence <- liz deafish> and...... don't worry we will improvise <- liz deafish> you can - if you have 6 hands and 2 brains - jump in the audience yourself and rev them up

17 and get reactions sure <- liz deafish> hehe I did that once and even my own team didnt know it was me i am going to be also loged in and not in upstage [visual vi] < i could tell though liz> so i can be one of the audience <- liz deafish> yo sound like seasoned Upstage performers already yes good idea i know helping any tie liz i have been struggling to help them at anything <- liz deafish> they look kind of professional eh! yes especially how they type answers xristina with her left hand and evi with her right hahaha <- liz deafish> only one hand each?? yes! amazing at least we are a good group that is important <- liz deafish> because you dont have the use of other hand - or from choice? <- liz deafish> like James oh its a little like butoh subconsiously there must be some struggle <- liz deafish> double/single performers!!! ihopeyou don't mindChristina smoking on stage

18 just as long as her cell ohone is swtiched off during the show <- liz deafish> Haha - well she can just put her hand out of the window if I cough! ok haha she will <- liz deafish> and you will have to forgive my wine spills in the audience oh! <- liz deafish> will try not to break my glass in a love scene you have your keyborad protector on liz? evi says goodbye has to go oh goodbye evi see you on the 14th nice to see you yes on the 14th <- liz deafish> goodo - I was just passing by the computer anyway..... niceto see you too you will be great <- liz deafish> have rehearsing <- liz deafish> happy and as we say in UpStage break a digit! haha thank you np <- liz deafish> ka kite ano! xristina do you have anything else for now? no i am fine, for now... you can also email any qiestions

40 please pablo? how can i help? i have to explain the rest of the story first what kept us apart was the revolution people on the streets anger people protesting on the streets against the government looking for reedom freedom demanding freedom we we not allowed to speak frealy you couldn't hear to what others were saying not allowed to see either people got angry conflict on the streets blood on the streets of cairo a city in red so i lost him couldn't find simon no phone lines no internet connection nobody in the ministry couldn't reach out to him loss have you ever lost something really precious? or someone? yes those chairs are mine

41 so you can understand how i feel those chairs were valuable to me they where they offered shelter to little michael that's why they were valuable that's where i found him hiding behind the chairs on the streets all alone a little boy i had to help him give him shelter took his hand adn held on to it wouldn't you do the same? would you leave the boy alone? during the revolution? in the bloodshed? would you? Pablo? probably yes..... but it wasn't enough inegypt a woman alone with a child... dangerous suspicious unacceptable how is it in your country? can women travel alone? are they safe? no so you can understand how i felt and what i sould do as long as they are home with the kids they are safe

42 but who provides that home? a man rigth? i had to find a man and there was one really kind one offered to help us protect us took us to his home and what about simon??? i never stopped thinking of him we were never a couple with this man just in papers we had to marry under an urfi contract do you understand? do you know what an urfi contract is? it exists only in Egypt not a religious marriage not a formal marriage yet has to be done if you want to live with a man under the same roof i was always thinking of simon do you understand? do you believe me? yes thank you how can i help you find simon ok and explain to him the whole story i will need a pisture *picture

43 he used to have a fb account there are pictures i have no access to fb now forbidden site in egypt you probably have can you check it out for me? pablo? HELP ME FIND SIMON simon shashava SIMON SHASHAVA tall dark handsome kind explain him things are the same between us nothing has changed yet everything is changed my name is changed if you find simon can you be with him and not with that man? yes of course how? i will divorce the man he knows he is with us just to protect us untill we find simon why? because in egypt a woman alone with a child is not accepted just not is in danger are you paying hi? him?

44 i am helping him yes working with him it is our deal what work do you do for him? but nothing else

Thursday 27th October at 6:00 pm UK time open rehearsal...Cyberian Chalk Circle hi it's helen :) hello hello lovely big image :) are we supposed to read all that? too fast for me! no not yet ok we will start in few minutes ok hen: shall i use ccc_1? hen is wondering what happens if people try to sign in to facebook with the same account we ve tried it and its working hen: great can you try it aswell please? hen: actually yeah, i've had facebook open with several windows &/or multiple browsers i tink because we had the same internet accound but different computer hen is logged in as ccc_1 now hen: can one of the other audience log in as ccc_1 as well? chris: I am in aswell hen: great hen: then it works :) lets begin? are you ready?

53 hen: yes! 1min for evi please ok hen: btw, typo: "adviced" should be "advised" (hen is a proofreader when she's not being an UpStager) ok thank you...i ll change it thank you hen: :) hello hello HELLO HI! IS anybody there? Hi i am this is grusha from egupt who are you? helen in munich where are you located? ok munich I need your help right now i'm in munich ok I managed to log in to this site it is not easy n egypt i can imagine internet is blocked most of the sites no fb so please help me i need to find someon what do you need? simon who? simon is a soldier

54 from Egypt we want to marry we will he proposed# nice we were working together for the government I fell for him which government?? from the first sight aw :) the government of egypt the new one or the old one? i was at the kitchen he was a soldier the old one by then ok before the revolution rihgt and that is when i lost him in the revolution? in the revolution yes is he still alive? i dont know i do not know either that is what you have to find out i hope he is ok he is a brave soldier how can we find out? but people get lost during well that's the thing you jhave to look for him

55 on line is that him? oh gosh i hope not i have no clue where he is it was war people in the streets screaming running anger pain gas madnesss i had no time but yet was looking for him among the crowd among the fires the bullets the peoples' despair i was despairate too that's why not afraid bu t he was noehere for him was so weird hard to find someone in that kind of situation working for the government yes really hard i suppose he was not safe in egypt anymore but i am sure he is looking for me for any news from me online wow try facebook what's his surname? i am sure he has created an account

56 shashava simon shashava ahah internet police! ok....this was 1rst part in a fast forward ok, great :) hen: revolution is very effective! thank you hen: also the reload, nice any other comments? hen: remember that when you reload the stage you lose the chat log hen: if you want to keep it, you need to open another browser window & get the log there just before you reset yes i know :( lost it the first time not again hen: it would be good to try & keep it fr: the advise in the starting... hen: have the log window open from the start, then reload it just b4 you reset fr: I don't know fr: it reveals too much hen: they have to do it bcos of academic "ethics" fr: yes, I know hen: it does reveal a bit i guess i would prefer people to do it by themselves... hen: would it be better to show it later? or then it interrupts show more but need to give them passwords hen: not everyone has facebook, so it's good to give some generic accounts fr: maybe also a warning could be useful

57 fr: a lot of children hen: for the images? yes (f) they saw cadafy dead in the tv hen: do you think they're any worse than what gets shown on the tv news? before the ending is supposed to give the details of the second part fr:maybe Vicki should be asked hen: good idea fr yes...please hen: ok i'll email her & ask her to take a look at your stage we would like to add some more on what you saw hen: ok before the end of first part grusha should inform for the second hen: it is not too difficult to add a warning at the beginning, & we can also put it with the info on the web site ok and inform the audience about how to help her exactly write on simon's fb wall hen: ok good and ask him to join the site the next day as well hen: do you want us to do that now? or keep it clean for the show? fr.only facebook? well no but this is one choice she will insist on fr: so he is also on google +, etc.? hen: twitter? fr:a blog? no he is not

58 fr:ok hen: ok because there is going to be an interaction with the fb accounts as well when audience enter ccc_1 hen: ok there would be uploaded a video about facebook spy machine hen: haha haha and othe media hen: maybe the egyptian govt have a deal with fb connected with the story hen: are you going to do the 2nd part now? yes hen: great :) fr:great (we don't have to wait 11 hrs ;) helen could you please advice me what i should write about the kids? hen: sure, but let's ask vicki first ok thanks hen: & we can work it out together hen: i think it's not a huge thing, since they see heaps worse on tv news or at the movies or on computer games ... ready? fr:ready!:) hen: yes :) hello! hi! i did it i am here great! was hard again you disappeared really suddenly before so who is there?

59 internet go down in egypt? it's helen :) did you find any clue of SImon? SImon? yes! are you there? he's on facebook :) what did you ok and? i can't see his status updates he hasn't friended me yet did you invite him to come on this site? oh no um ... yes? there were so many hours i hoped he would check if he is alive did you message him? yes thank you saying what? well that' you're looking for him & to come here i didn't have time to explain earlier Simon are you there? things have changed but are still the same names have changed but names don't matter and alla because of Michael who's michael? Michael is little boy

60 he was in the middle of the street the day pof the revolution among the crowd lost? in the violence yes oh dear seemed lost he was playing with a can shit seemed he didn';t realise is he ok? what was happening yes he is now phew but ast that point was in danger alla alone i expected if someone else would appear to help him to take him but everyone was trying to save themselves chaos stamping on him and then moving on like he was invisible like that little girl in china recently but i couldn't pretend i couldn't see him in china i dont know she was run over by 2 vans i suppose children are in danger everywhere if left alone & people walked past her lying on the street for 10 mins

61 before someone did something omg how did they do it? i don't know now you understand it's awful why i picked him up yes you did the right thing and started running away from the chaos you understand why i did all i did for him i had to feed him of course couldn't find any milk at this point no shops no nothing i begged a woman for some milk she ask for all my money didn't think a lot gave it all for a bottle of milk what about tomorrow ... what would you do? i don't know i didn't know barter? i kept trying the next day i had to do something worse you were desperate yes i was i had to fight a police officer i hurt him badly? i still cannot believe i did that

62 yes badly with a log why? on his head he would take michael ok i didn't have any papers provong he was mine in my country it is not allowed to have a child out of marriage really? wow yes really and that made things more complicated i had to find a solution so i decided to marry an urfi marriage what's urfi? it is not a proper marriage it is like some man is protecting you marriage of convenience? living with you yes somthing like that crazy women in my country have to obey such laws it is like a contract it's terrible i hope it changes with the revolution! but enough to protect us both i know that's why i am worried if he finds out http://www.islamawareness.net/Marriage/Urfi/urfi3.html Simon you look worried

63 yes i am i still want to marry him i still want him to come and take us both from this place michael and me http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikah_'urfi simon! you still have michael? SIMON are you there? yes i do i always have him i will not give up on him until i am sure he will be safe where he goes other why i will be next to him and make sure the urfi marriage doesn't suond very good nothing harms him no it is not especially in my case you can't get a divorce? if it wasn't for Simon it wouldn't matter so much i don't care about myself divorce... in Egypt? not easy case for a woman i still need a man so what will you do when simon comes back? if Simon comes and gets us possibly we can do it maybe you can escape from egypt? first he has to understand escape no

64 we have to fight for this place ok and make it safe for Michael any Michael all the michaels and michaelas So Simon is not here my soldier seems to be lost seems not ... forever? who knows i hope not and now hope we have live streaming from uk remebrance day hmm otherwise we have images again could be interesting to bring in the live streaming hen - thinking about how you could do it if it's on your screen, you can send it via the webcam ftp instead of the web cam image send your screen image fr:will it be webcasted on internet? it would lose some quality yes, exactly or you just put the link in the chat i think with a link in the end that's easiest hen: next year, with martin's new UpStage ... fr:are you using manycam? no fwink fr:you could try it to send your desktop hen: you can use manycam with fwink hen: i think

65 fr: no, manycam works in additon hen: i use it with evocam aaa...yes... hen: it lets you switch feeds hen: different web cams, or your desktop ok now i understood hen: you could try it, & see how a live stream would look fr:it could be a solution, but also the link works hen: it would motion-jpeg, & some quality lost, but it could be interesting hen: could even do both? fr:you did a great work ok...great idea thanks FR:i like it hen: yes, it's great hen: lots of development from the beginning of the year :) thank you very much hen: are you planning for simon to appear? fr: hmm there was something I'm forgetting come fr.... fr:i will appear hen: or what you might do if someone in audience says they are simon? hen: haha yes like fr will ask him a question fr:when the 2nd part starts fr:maybe you need some lines to recap hen: it would be really interesting, if someone decided to play simon hen: like in desktop theatre's "waitingforgodot.com" that would be nice fr:someone will do that Helen, you know have a dialogue

66 hen: when someone played godot and then ask question he will not know hen: or it could be a happy ending! :) fr:a think there will be a lot of Simon ...maybe hen: that's a good idea, fr, about the recap i should leave it more open hen: there will surely be some audience who have not seen the first part could you be more specific please? fr:you'll have 2 different audience hen: a couple of sentences that summarise what happened in the first part fr:yes hen: e.g. "during the revolution in europe, the lovers simon and grusha get separated; grusha rescues a small boy from the chaos, but she can't find simon." hen: then a sign that says part 2 hen: we can also make it clear on the web site hen: clearer or grusha to say it in the beggining? hen: that it's in 2 parts hen: yes, grusha could say it fr;yes it could be another solution hen: altho it's also very nice how grusha speaks directly to the audience hen: in a very natural way hen: it would be less natural if she delivered the summary hen: at the moment it's really like she has just got back online after being dumped fr:she could recap inderectly hen: & if she gives a summary first, then it breaks that hen: yes, but it would need to be well-written so that it doesn't sound odd, & also so that it works with the audience

67 chat if it seems like she tries to make people remember who she is? hen: yes, could be like that fr:yes something like that fr:could work fr did you recorded it? hen: or saying things like, "were you here before?" & "did i talk to you before?" hen: maybe also some of the audience fill in the story fr:they don't need the 2 of us if we say the same things :) hen: haha morena??? liz hen: maybe we should disagree with each other more fr:yes, recorded hen: hi liz! you just missed it!! fr:but I'm so busy that I don't know when I'll be able to export the recording here at 7a.m. - was that the wrong time? great ...thanks fr!!!! fr: sorry... hen: not sure - it is 8pm in europe now sorry - had 7am on yr email hen: was a 6pm uk start fr:probably after the festival haha hen: shit did i get it wrong? sorry!! :( fr:I'm serious!:) yr email said - that will be 7am on friday in nz and I was in hurry - didnt check it sorry hen: oh no fr:ok, need to go now hen: has daylight saving just changed? fr:thank you, great work

68 damn - really wanted to see - did someone record? thanks for comming hen: yes, fr did fr:thank you, cous cous everyone thank you fr again... yes daylight saving for nearly a month now hen: but he was just saying, he doesn't know when he'll be able to export it hen: cous cous, fr! hen: darn, i'd better check the time i sent for tomorrow's one! hen: liz, maybe you can come to another of xristina & evi's rehearsals? Ok just send me an email w it when it does - so sorry Christina - wanted to see how the FB etc worked in as we discussed. liz yes... we are going to inform you soon about our next one thanks for coming today and for your great comments goodo - am trying to get over to beach cleanup today - oil on beaches again! liz so sad... hen: yeah, terrible! :( hen: ok i just checked time hen: tomorrow's rehearsal is at 2am nz time on saturday hen: i'll resend the email hen: really sorry about that! :( hen: we must change time here in europe soon then, bcos by the festival day we are exactly 12 hours apart, europe to nz hen: ok, i am being called to dinner hen: thanks very much christina & evi, it is a great show! thank youu very much have a nice day/night

70 fwink? the actor's laptop cannot upload the image of the webcam hen: try quitting fwink & restarting it? hen: what is happening when she tries to upload the image? nothing....its says that image is uploaded but it is not now we are trying with my pc hen: hmm, strange hen: i am just trying with my computer, but my ftp app (evocam) keeps quitting hen: first thing to do is to establish whether the problem is with evi's computer, or with UpStage i think it is with upstage hen: hmm my avatarisin but no image hen: ok, let me just try if it works for me christina: we have 3 different images hen: sorry, i have had to download a new version of evocam & it's totally different to the old one so it's going to take me a few minutes to work it out np hi hello I m litlle late? little np we have some technical problems oh when we start? we are waiting for helen ok katarina here, by the way hen: hi katarina hi hen: can you test your web cam & see if it's working?

71 my web is on watc stage and working hen: right now? hen: using fwink? no hen: can you check it now? but yesterday it works on watc? hen: we are trying to establish whether the problem is UpStage or evi's computer hen: yes, check on watc oki hen: if it is working, then the problem is not with UpStage must to log out of this stage see you soon hen: i can't find an option in evocam to upload - it's wierd! totally different :( gays all is ok on the watc ok so we will restart everything and be right back Kat: ok hope restarting will work hen: phew thanks for checking me 2 bb for now yes thank you kat hen: it's easier to solve a problem with one person's computer than with UpStage ... christina: evi is uninstalling an untivirous christina: maybe thats the problem hen: ah, ok (hen is still trying to work out the new evocam app) (henis giving up ... )

72 (seems that fwink is uploading... waiting for evi to log in) (loading...failed to uploaf correctly) hen: check the settings we are changing laptop hen: ok think is working now hen: i don't see the image changing yet no image kat: yeaaah hen: hmm hen: has anything changed in your system since your last rehearsal? kat: is it start of perform? hen: ah! now i see :) I see you (kat) yes... it worked super hen: but the image is very low for me hen: in firefox hen: & in chrome i don't see it at all yes it is huge one (kat) hen: ok now i see you in chrome, filling the screen :) hen: wow it is enormous no snapshots though hen: you can make it smaller, in fwink - might make the images upload quicker the image is still# hen: how many seconds upload have you got it set to? 1 sec hen: ok, it will never do 1 second hen: try setting it to 3 seconds hen: & make the size of the actual image smaller but it worked before

73 with large and 1 sex sec kat:in settings+video capture+custom+ size (change px) sorry hen: hmm hen: well i think it would not have been as fast as 1 second hen: it seems to tkae longer than 1 second for it to upload & replace the image 3 sec is ok? hen: yes i would try 3 secs the last performance was set large, 1 sec and was working hen: if you are sending more often than that, maybe it slows it down more (i'm not sreally sure about that tho) yes? still image again hen: also the image is much bigger than the screen hen: you could try resizing the image, or cropping it hen: so that you aren't uploading a larger file than necessary now is ok super yes ok now hen: i will also ask paul about clearing the cache incase we are getting a build-up of open files again like last year hen: i see you moving now :) what are he do with audio? doing yes ok hen: you mean about the order of the a files? yes hen: we can't do anything about that until after the festival should we keep the small?

74 oh hen: but i've asked te students about including it in the next release how many files he get? hen: small is good for me yes 10 or 20 is such a mess hen: yes christina: helen what about the backdrops you emailed us for? hen: backdrops? Christina: adverts and links for shows hen: er - you mean images to promote the shows with? you emailed us about some images we need to include to our shows in the end informing the audience for the next show and the donators hen: oh yes - not backdrops, but props hen: vicki is making them yes I remamber too (kat) hen: you will have 2, one for each of the shows that follows your show hen: so when you finish your show, you put the prop on ok.... are you going to interact with them? or is our responsibility during the show? hen: & it has the name of the next show & a link to the stage ok...so its us it is ok hen: if you can do it, otherwise one of us hosting folks will jump in & do it hen: it isn't difficult yesterday I forgot, at all (kat) no... its fine. i will do it after the refresh

76 cause evi needs to get dressed hen: great :) kat:nice to be ready to leave after the rehearsal ok lets start hen: great! hen: graphic image warning stands out very cearly :) (clearly) PLEASE DO NOT INTERACT TODAY WITH THE FB ACCOUNTS....IF YOU WANT YOU CAN LOG IN CKECK THE MEDIA AND GIVE US SOME FEEDBACK hen: ok hello hello HELLO hi hi this is grusha grusha from egypt hi grusha where are you located? munich i need your help from BG ? i am looking for someone who? but sites in Egypt are blocked connection not good i am looking for Simon simon who? who is he? (sorry for that) hehe

77 Simon is an Egyptian soldier yes egyptian soldier he will marry me cool we met in Egypt Cairo I fell for him love at first sight aaaww :) have you ever fallen in love? many times is that exist? we were working together yes it does exist lucky you we were both working for the government Mubarak's government he a soldier that's very romantic me at the kitchen yes it is very romantic and painful because i lost him a couple of days after he proposed I lost him sad i don't know if he is still in Egypt i am sure you can track him online but i cannot I will try and my connection might fail any moment give me his email?

78 everything is difficult after the revolution and that is where i lost him darn the revolution was spreading all over Egypt in Cairo things were dangerous people everywhere people angry people hungry protesting marching on the streets shouting violence angry against Mubarak and his laws I hate violence me 2 I don't know if it is ever good no for any reason it doesn't solve anything yes but it seemed to be the only way people dead injured in despair if people are pushed down too much then they push back losing their people yes we were really puched pushed no freedom and punched we couldn't speak yes indeed

79 is it true? we couldn't hear yes it is true and much worse as any revolution any war yes oh i suppose do you have any similar experiences? no not personally, luckily it would be terrifying it is war yes I am sad and frighten and that is where i lost him not suprising must have been a lot of people lost there and i don't know where i should look for him where i should find him do you think he has left egypt? and things have quite changed in the desert? but still are the same i cannot totaly explain yes i think he is gone otherwise he would have found me i hope he is still alive i can feel he is still alive that's love ... maybe live in piramide? and somewhere online i have to go oh whay?

80 my husband is coming any moment why? please find Simon i thought simon was your husband? SImon Shashava me too No i wasn't married then it is complicated i have to go you have husband? wait i am still Grusha and you love simon? love Simon Simon Shashava it is one in two?

84 someone stepped on him he startedcrying despairately and then he got distracted again found a can and kept on playing i couldn't leave him alone would you? you are good no a woman saw me taking him told me to leave him you were helping him and save myself one a time I ceep some ket from streat was she his mother? but i couldn't no she was not i looked for his mother in the crowd and one pure dog war is no place for a child but nobody would recognise him and animals so i decided to protect him it was so hard first i had to run out of the city away of the battle field and then i had to feed him i had the money of my small salary you were doing the right thing gave it all for a bottle of milk all of it anyone wth a heart would do the same during war money has no value

85 milk is more important it is just life thatmatters yes it is the only thing i could do then a policeman tried to take him away i couldn't trust him police was againstthepeople how could i leave him to them? so i had to fight the policeman and fleee run with michaelin the country and was hidding for a longtime andthen i did what i should so as to offer him the bestpossibleshelter you did the right thing the urfi marriage not with simon ... ??? I had to marry someone simon wasnot there was missing and then i flew for Michael ... :( so i couldn't look for him i don't lovemy husband urfi marriage is like a contract so as to have a man to protect you women arenot safe in my country without a man they are not accepted that's terrible especially along with a child so i did the best for michael I watch some document about egiptian girl couldn't you say you were a widow?

2.3.2. Part B hallo It is a shame not enough time after show for audience to talk to makers after each show Just scheduled 3 mins would be good And there seems to be free time on schedule for that . . . . .

96 ...... yes - or in this case before the 2nd show where is everyone? here! here her here! what size audience to you have online right now medium ah...5? 10? 15? 20? I am here! what more do you want s..m..l..xl...xxl Me! I dunno. Its academic research so I thought audience would count..er be counted 20 120 hello stand up and be counted phew stuffy in here, move over, about 40 geeeers sitting on my lap hello ciao! hey grusha! :) this is Grusha from Egypt hi Grusha, hi again Hello

97 are you there? Yes oh yeah the same people as yesterday? thanks you All 120 of us! yes oh hiiiiiii live webcam I'm the same helloooooo remember? it is hard to count audience, because sometimes a few people are watching on one computer (eg at nodes) you look great i was looking for Simon I'm very different in every conceivable way my soldier How did that go? whom i will marry still looking? I am trying to contact him on Facebook if i find him you look a LOT better today i lost him lucky man during the revolution oh no did you do anything? These are tough times to be a soldiere Grusha have you looked for him? Read the newspapers Watched TV yes Thanked God I wasn't there

98 i have been looking left messages on facebook it was very hard formeto upload again on this site yes sent out a call in egypt sites are blocked internet can be tricky asked him to come here have you found him? on facebook? yes! or twitter? no Do you have an A.P.A. on him? really??? what was the facebook login? is he coming? yeap!!! i don't know I'm not sure - told himt o come here Description? i didn't asked for friendship cannot check fb from egypt too scared... Simon? are you there? yes Simon? surely mark zuckerberg will know where he is.. he said he loves you and will be home soon don't worry thank Simon Don't give her hope i have to explain

99 He might be... not well you have to comeand helpme Me? in egypt? me and Michael maybe he is injured? yes in Egypt I'm afraid of totalitarian aftermaths Sorry who is he??? Simon can you hear me? Simon Who is Michael? I have to explain about Michael if this was real, would you say that? i am so sorry that you lost simon listening Yes....will this upset Simon? make yourself clear!!! Michael is a little boy wow!!! about 2 years old i found him in the revolution who is the father?? among the crowd "found"???? hehehe smash i don't know who the parents are yes found him in the street hehehe does not seem appropriate response in the chaos ok, whatever

100 in the gas Is it hard for audience members to pick up on tone of this? humble it is part 2 people running and screaming bullets not for me - i find it heart wrenching if you didn't see part 1, listen carefully this image is awful and he was sitting alone she is recapping some of it cum on is face! on the street and worse yes images are hard - but real maybe one person who is making fun of it but there are more of us here butcher of the revolution playing with a can a red can this happened only few months ago oh no! men can stop a tank not realising what was happening lucky you found him Grusha suddenly someone stepped on him such a lot of people terrifying to be in midst of that at any age he started crying yes it would be awful yes i feel luchy i cannot realy imagine it he is a unique boy

101 lucky for him great sound track then forgot about it men, all so many men and kepton playing with the can so many men to lose yes the timng of text adn image is out of sink but better for that in the chaos i looked for his parents 2 stories for the viewer? chaos no one would recognisehim i grabed him a woman saw me she said i shoulddrop him and save myself i couldn't leave him whaaat? would you? burning in the light no b/ 0 would you leavehim alone? night swallows the corwd maybe a little boy? i couldn't hard to say jarjarjar in the middle of the revolution? i couldn't viva what is that question? so my adventure began

102 he was hungry don't know how i would react in a situation to save my own life how big was he? 2 i had to buy him milk money was worthless the shops were still open?? yes 2 years old no shops open is their sign language i this images i begged a woman for milk gave me a bottle if everyone saved ONE child...... lucky and this cost a whole salary if everyone disabled one soldier that's how i felt so i gave all my money was he happy? and then redirect soldiers reeducate he seemed happy with the milk undiscaplin lvoe a soldier then there was a police officer love a soldier? milk - mothers comfort i seemed strange with the boy soldeirs need tits he tried to take him but i felt he wouldn't be safe oh no - that coulld be unsure for the boy

103 police was against the people one boy and his found mother, its them against the earth, chaos i had to protect michael being so i fought the police officer hurt him with a log now you may be in trouble i never thought i would use violene violence it's violence against violence i hate violence violene, can you here what we're typing? doesn't work some times it seems to be the only way no seems to be but i felt it was the right thing so as to protect Michael never the way what would you do? would you hand the little boy to the police officre? i don't know self defence vs violence a log is not bad so i had to flee self defence is not violence in the countryside women, mothers, - always do whats best for the child but any large piece of wood would do along with the child why don't men always do what's best for the child?

104 how is micheal? hidding there for some time posing ethical questions that no one can answer out of context he is small no milk? dark sweet smiling safe and sound with me ground into dust sand for the soldiers boot ashes from an old home that's how i couldn't stay in Cairo more generalisations are alienating. Men can and do do what is best for a child. good to pose the questions, even if there is no answer and look for you Simon I wish you could find Simon wuuuuuuuuuuuuumen yes, of course men CAN but do they? gender is indefinate Simon I still have the boy Its not that there are no answers, people have answers, but what relevance has it to real events? dont reinforce your condition under my protection you could look after Michael together under my protection but had to do somethingmore to keep him safe

105 the urfi marriage who wouldn't protect a hcild? hiccup who indeed ... what is urfi what is that? the urfi marriage means nothing A great many paedophiles or child abusers, thats who wouldnt is like a contract http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikah_'urfi living with a man i had to do it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikah_'urfi things may seemdifferent ah - de facto but are still the same http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikah_'urfi namesdo not matter Simon it is me the same Grusha the one who loves you and is waiting for you http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikah_'urfi to marry you typing, looking down, as if in prayer Under Egyptian Law 1/2000, if a woman can produce proof of an urfi marriage in court, she can ask for a divorce without alimony or child support.If a husband hides or destroys the urfi marriage document, a woman can't prove she was married. This prevents her from getting a divorce or remarrying.If conducted in secret without the consent of their families, a couple's urfi marriage is not sanctioned by Islam.

106 .. in Egypt if you don't have a man you are not accepteable oh! or safe Sex before marriage is forbidden in conservative Egyptian society. Couples view an urfi marriage as a way to legitmise their sexual relationship. A husband is not financially responsible for his wife. especially with a child and you Simon knowthat that sucks in many parts of the world that applies Batrad! that's why i did it bastard this is not uncommon who did u get urfi married to? it is horrible how medievil a good man pre-industrial my husband is a good man pre-suffragette but still not the one Are we educating westerners heree?? you are the one SImon how is it in your country? are women safe? ho is simon even without a man? i never heard of urfi marriage before Depends Rohipnol

107 not always women are not unsafe because they dont have a man we like to think it is safe ever brothers not husbands But we know otherwise what is it depending on? i see a lot of woman walking with digs I'm not a woman. They sometimes feel unsafe at night I suppose. Micro-culture you live in dogs Quite different. depending on confidence not about night and day on understanding i usually feel safe, but i have never been attacked it is always unsafe on self defence Look at textual violence occuring against online female journalists in UK and west. i know women who have been attacked, who never feel safe now learn wing chun especially for Michael it was created by a women yes it's not all physical violence i had to do it for him in the west we have many forms of violence emotional abuse i am waiting for you Simon financial violence to save us both wing chun is not violence its counter violence

108 psychological According to UN, the Congo is worst place in world to be a woman are you there? No just rape Siomn? SImon? is aboutusing the strength of your opposer yes i know about abuse Tell that to the women in the Congo westerners also suffer from superiority complex thats suffering, yeah, oh yeah abuse is coomon even not in war times Haha. Not all of them. immagine how difficult it is during a revolution Power. that's what i didn't want for Michael It's maybe about unleveled power relations powder By any means. and sacrifised myself maybe Simon too violence has been gloablised what would you do? localised wouldn't you do the same? do you understand me? Simon? live with micheal not for micheal violence has been packaged and served as xbox ben okpower is an illusion that both parties take part in do you understandme as well? he'll be better if you are you crucher

109 yes you are right crusha So is the choice between looking for love of your life or sacrificing chance of love for care of another? I want Michael safe and my life back Simon seems to be travelling That seems unlikely outcome, frankly that's why i am loking for SImon keep him safe, and simon will? my name maybe changed there is another simon? maybe they are ld photos but i am the same Grusha old photos - on facebook as always the same person names do not matter Simon grusha it is you that matter your love SIMON SIMON SHASHAVA DOU YOU UNDERSTAND? So is Simon representative of some idealised state of freedom? WILL YOU FORGIVE ME? LOVE an idealised state of freedom what must he forgive you for? yes SImon is ideal Lot of angst. Surely misplaced in context of war. Yeah, good question in which independence and turth is lost but fantasy prevails

110 forgive me for getting married to somenone else Ok, how can an ideal forgive?? do you dream about simon? oh NO Simon is real marriage is just a legal obligation not love and ideal to me marriage is just a contract Rotterdam is enjoying the show. Very grasping. so is my love for him I reckon you need to forgive yourself first and move on. Doesnt feeding yourself and saving your life rate more high than romantic love at moment?? real.imaginary.symbolic i know marriage is just a legal action Marriage can be pragmatic marriage is one of the code constructs of society we best use to suit ourselves It's never bad to be pragmatic oh god marriage is a form of slvavery but only you can take me from it gett out omg only you Simon SIMON But how is marriage stopping your development ARE YOU THERE? surely post revolution means a new start no old ties my love? No Your personal growth?

111 He got fed up and left a new legal system my soldier? warrior it seems i lost my soldier for ever Okay, move on http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10318089 thank you for this story - an inside view into revolution, loss and sacrifice - a very strong piece thank you! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10318089 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10318089 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10318089 v http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10318089 "to hear, to be heard; reputation" thanks Xristina and Evi!!!
