Those Cobwebs


Eugene Ionesco has given us a trampoline in his Exit the King.

King: "My bedroom's full of cobwebs.  Go and brush them away."
Maid: "...I removed them all while your Majesty was still asleep. I can't think where they spring from. They keep on coming back."
Queen, to the Maid: "...Go and get rid of those cobwebs again."
King: "...Those cobwebs, disgusting!  They give you nightmares!"

Our major project during this first creative week was to make over our playing space.  The barn was sanded, de-cob-and-spider-webbed, washed, de-webbed again, painted, mopped, de-webbed, and then we moved back in with the spiders.  We pulled everything out of the space and put most of it back, but this time with intention.  Feng-shui-like.

Funny how the inspiration for our creative project bleeds into our reality.  Those cobwebs.  It's us and the spiders, our new co-op.  It's got character.
