Jessye Norman: "Stand Up Straight and Sing!"

Lest We Forget How Beautiful We Are

Art Meets Science & Spirituality

  

I met John Cage in a dream.

In my dream, I got an electronic message that read Cage: Anne Williams

This woke me up immediately, I have no idea what it meant or means. Save to say, later that morning; while surfing the net, I came across the american theatre director Robert Wilson who was doing a one-man play, Robert Wilson: John Cage's Lecture on Nothing, at the UCLA performing arts center.

You can imagine how startling this was... I have since been to the library, and have checked out, and read Cage's books, For the Birds, and more.

He has helped further open my creative mind.

I am in awe of the work of Robert Wilson... especially the design aspect of his work.

Through Robert Wilson I rediscovered, and saw, for the first time, Marina Abramovic.

Chicky Thoughts

The One Chicken says to the Other Chicken.

ONE CHICKEN

                                         Do you think humans would respect us more if we could fly... do you think they'd eat us, and our embryos, less maybe?

The Other Chicken responds, taking in the thought.

OTHER CHICKEN

                                         Pak, pak, paak.

Pico Iyer: Where is Home?

This talk has assisted me to find my direct research question:

Can one find Home in Exile? I deal with the Question, through Theatre: Can the Actor find Home in Performance?
