the world -- the frank geary buildings around the world. we will have a large amount of dancers inside and outside of the building. this is about bringing it alive through movement. the architecture that fragged creates is very much wanting to challenge your perception of the environment. he once these buildings to be as fluid as a fabric or water, and i think there is a conscious curiosity in our minds to explore that terrain. it is really spectacular. it is really fun. it is such an expensive space, so huge. i like the idea that the body that is so fragile is conquering that space. when i was younger, it was more about getting outside of the theater and creating a form that is not limited or bound to the stage that really becomes two dimensional after while. when you are out there in the world, the space affects you. space is part of how you navigate and it affects everything that you do, so i am interested in that exchange or that relationship between the body and the space that you build. >> that would be something very exciting to see.

geary brt is also making progress. i wanted to point out, as a segue from the chair's remarks about high-speed rail, there was a session on high-speed rail at the focus on the future conference happening right now in san francisco, and i was intending that this morning. a member of the high speed rail authority board clarified the schedule for comment on the business plan that is out there now, that was released on november 1. the idea is that the authority, the high-speed rail authority, will take comments at a hearing today in palo alto and then on december 6 in san francisco. then they will consider incorporating all of those comments and directing the mine some fashion. then at that yuri one, are the first week of february, the intention of the meeting to approve the revised plan that might incorporate those comments. only after that, the 60-day timespan, will the legislature kick in. so there's time to organize commons, even beyond the two hearings that are already scheduled. i think that is time that is welcome t
