Here are the first four free-writes, on the shared formative theme of ‘first bedroom’, from FACT/SF’s performers.  They each chose eight words or phrases that were resonant to them for whatever reason.  These texts, and others like them, form the basic source material for the entire POv Project!

swirling upwards, strange, swaying, winds, round, antique, telephone, windowsill
brass hook, misty ghost, mom, crazy, next first room, stupid shelves, lego kingdoms, zebra


childhood, stepping stone, lava, 80s porn, Laura, doctor, invitation

flat cities, at ease, at the top of a hill in a hilly town, first bedroom, all around, my house, in part, even when I am sleeping
