Josh why didn`t you tell me you had posted this? Incidentally I am Philip Glass in the video, this was performed as part of David Ives` All in the Timing in Barcelona 2003 was it? Great to discover it several years after the event! Yes it was a bitch to memorize.

I work in strange and mysterious ways, Steffan. Not only are you Philip Glass in this video, you are and always will be MY Philip Glass. I still break into a sweat every time I watch this. It's a shame we never got a performance video, this being our final dress rehearsal (without lighting changes or uproarious audience approval). Thank you :)

I'm memorizing this now, thanks for posting this it really helps!

[joshzam]

I'm glad you find it helpful. But I really recommend that you (or your director) put your own spin on it and perform it according to your own interpretation. That's one of the reasons that I love this piece - every time I see it, it's different!

[Elmephistopheles]

OH yeah trust me it's very different! I'm Woman 2... it's taking quite a while to memorize!

Ha our little group wanted to do this but then we realized that it would be too hard. I still think this is a really interesting. I think the people here do this wonderfully. My only criticism is that they kind of seem scrunched together on the stage.
