I had acquired the habit of walking in time to my breathing.
The narrator of Alejo Carpentier's The Lost Steps, following his time in the jungle.

Some beautiful moments today. I still haven't seen the market scene, but everyone was full of that excitement when I arrived. Then a terrific round for the Carter family by Matthew and a breathtaking piece for actor Michael on the cello, as Richard playing Finn poled along a creek. Plus some good physical exploration and discussion about the Xanti - how do we create a community of characters so remote from us without falling into stereotypes, both negative and over-romanticised? The discussion, in which all of us drew on things we had read or seen or experienced, was a great example of what a group's creativity can bring to a piece of theatre.
