KING LEAR

At the beginning of July I toured with Freehold's Engaged Theatre program, taking Shakespeare's KING LEAR to underserved communities including men, women and youth in prison. Performances included Washington Correctional Center for Women, McChord Air Force Base, Monroe Correctional Complex, Echo Glen Juvenile Detention Center, in addition to public showings in Seward Park and a multi-night run at the Lee Center.

THEORY ARTICULATION

For humans, the ability to create is innate...our imagination is our most defining characteristic as a species.

Every human has an individual voice - every individual has a creative contribution. An emphasis on creativity in a culture gives rise to creative solutions to social problems.

Become aware of everything you are creating.

IS IT REALLY?

HERE AND NOW

really feeling the effects of 2 straight months working on a project that started with banishing the truth tellers and then killed off everyone in the story, everyone recognizing their faults and refusal to make better choices, but not before anything can be done to save the dead...and then looking at the world (both up close and from afar) and seeing the same thing over and over again....*sigh* Lear, you are a heavy mofo.... looking forward to some release with the Conduction folks tonight... (you can't get this day back)

THE EFFECTS OF TOO MUCH CRYSTAL BETH

TUT UP

When it finds you, you must honor the bowling pin of bliss...

CATCH UP

I'm going to attempt to catch up m(eye) he(art)...that's never really possible, but I do want to add a few things to the journal here, that I've been collecting internally for sometime. It has been a busy time. A time of great change. A time of much unknown - and embracing that much unknown - and then hating that much unknown, and cursing it repeatedly...and then reveling and dancing in it...ah yes, it has been all of it... < LIFE IN FULL FORM > < THE DYNAMIC HUMAN > on display.... I have always loved this blog because it is the one place in my life where all of the projects/selves can be unified...the Artist, Frank, every tiny piece, every large extravaganza, all archived with the same weight...completion of the full person... The irony these days is that as I have jumped headfirst into the deep ocean of attempting to unify my many personalities, to understand and explore my many selves, I have had less energy to archive everything. I'm bummed about this, honestly, because the last 6 months have been a wash of happenings and they are all running together in my mind. Part of why this is frustrating is that I have a sort of video memory, which holds a strong chronology of past events, and now, instead of a linear timeline of the past, I have a sort of pollock-like explosion that settles as a rothko-sea before instantly being blast apart into alex grey esque supernatual particulate....and the emotions that accompany that experience are, well, varied.... In any case, I'm embracing this new whirlwind of color, form & motion in my life - I may drown in it at some point, but until then, I'm attempting to surf the biggest wave I've ever felt/faced....

A few months ago I did a short recording session in my living room at the request of the most awesome Jherek Bischoff...I played on one song for the new Amanda Palmer record. YES! Looking forward to hearing how it turned out... http://www.amandapalmer.net/
