About The Triggers Board
The Triggers Board is a virtual whiteboard … a place for me to jot down the musing energies of a particular day. The words on this board are not arbitrary labels or names but keywords and key-phrases which I’m hoping will “trigger” the original impulse or thought.

False Profile
IT TAKES COURAGE
We - a photographer friend and I - had tried everything to get this client - a referral from a dating site - to stop posing like he was auditioning for a mobster movie, until I had to say … you might want to be more approachable, show who you are … to what he responded: “if being myself had taken me anywhere I wouldn’t need a dating site, would I? - GL

THE PROPOSAL
Creating a short Personal or/and Casting Story video or a short Virtual Theater scene

I thought I play with this story in relation to why many actors feel that acting give them the chance to be “somebody else”.
The Silver Wolf in Clothes
THE BODY ENERGY CAPACITORS
I looked at my reflection on a puddle of my own sweat and saw that my body was now big, strong, beautiful and covered in this glowing silver fur. - GL

FROM THOUGHT TO IMAGE
The Silver Wolf - the “absolute” version of myself - lives unleashed in the safety of my creative space. Is it possible to bring him out of his safe environment without scaring people away? Could clothes cover his nudity without hiding his beautiful silver fur?
BRAINSTORMING NOTES
August 17, 2023
I have decided to start writing The Silver Wolf Journal on my private blog - Absolute Sensetream - to collect the un-restricted, un-censured and free of judgement thoughts and impulses of this my unleashed musing force.
I also figured out that before I attempt to “clothe” the wolf - as I’m proposing on “The Silver Wolf in Clothes” (currently on the Devising Boards), I first need to let the wolf out. Unless this musing energy is all out and glowing, I wouldn’t be able to “transcend” the clothes and they will just become a barrier, a hide for the wolf.
CURRENTLY ON BOTH THE SENSETORMING BOARD AND THE BRAINSTORMING BOARD
Even though “bringing out” the Silver Wolf is definitively a sensory-somatic process - a Creative Energy Workout, once the creature is out, I will need to transmute some of his raw energy into creative energy and that’s when the “brain” will come in and initiate the brainstorming session.
Deep Into The Ground
THE BODY ENERGY CAPACITORS
I felt the blood pumping through my veins, flowing into every inch of my body until there was nowhere else for it to go. It was then when my body started to sprout and grow in every direction. My feet took root deep into the ground, my limbs grew branches that spread out into smaller branches and leaves. The more I grew the stronger the energy and the feeling that this cascade of emotions would never stop. - GL

FROM IMPULSE TO IMAGE
Teaching the first stage in the Resonance™ Technique “Energy Circuit”: opening the circuit, I usually refer to the feet as our “plugs” to the ground and the energy. After the surge of energy I tried to put into words in the above paragraph, I understood that the feet connection to the ground is much deeper than the superficial connection achieved by a plug. A root - which spreads down deep into the ground - would be a better analogy to use to describe the function of our feet in the opening of the energy circuit.

Bring Your Own Menu - A Puppet Show
THE SEEKER
He stood in the middle of the studio staring at me as I stared back at him waiting for some sort of signal from him. After an uncomfortable silence - for him not for me - he finally asked: aren’t you going to tell me what to do? To which I answered: I’m just waiting for you to take the lead. - GL

THE PROPOSAL
A short Training/Casting Story video about the concept of Bring-Your-Own-Menu - a very important element in the Absolute Theater approach, my work with models in photography and pretty much anything I do.

GARLIC PORK CHOPS
THE ENERGY IS TOO STRONG TO …
A day had already past but just recalling the explosion of flavors in my mouth from the garlic pork chop I had made me want to scream as loud as I could - the energy was just too strong to just talk about it. - GL
