butcher's paper time

I come to Pigeon Hole and sit by the heater. Christy gets butcher's paper and we start to write ideas about narrative.
I think of Ana Kokinos talking about a film's 'controlling idea' and i try to write some sentences that I think are our controlling idea. Luke is interested in questions, points of enquiry. We write some questions too.
Christy talks about how they made Quiche. They started with an aesthetic. I feel like we are very clear about what our aesthetic is - especially after last nights conversation with Amanda.
Christy gets a fresh piece of paper and writes "aesthetic: comic book suburban." Underneath we have chosen one of my 'controlling idea' sentences which is 'We are more powerful than we think we are" Then we spend some time choosing questions.
"What makes us feel less powerfull and what do we hold up against it?"
"What are the skills we have that go unnoticed?"
"How do we use the superhero fantasy?"
