Chance Imagery

Chance Imagery is used on stage when an actor is told to use a prop they have never worked with before yet be able to wear it as if you've had this object your entire life. Much of your unconscious mind must be an element to this performance. In a totally conscious state of being i can imagine it being very difficult to make that specific object look like something of your personal. Free writing...Given the direction, " you may not stop moving your pen or pencil for five minutes, don't think about what your about to write just write from whatever state your in now", is method to the idea of chance. A fine artist seems to constantly work this way, more at cal-arts then anywhere else I would assume. I'm not sure how I feel about the term "Subconscious". When under consciousness you are simply unconscious, no "pre- gaming" necessary. Being able to use non technical ways of expression reforms a method to creating art, theater, music, dance, creating. It's freer, much more exciting things are allowed to happen making its own sort of mechanism, developing this new language. The idea of chance imagery is allowing one to use other senses rather then those within a conscious state.
