Wall fabrics are part of set, eventually get peeled off...
...by the performers and pulled on as garment pieces.

Thinkin' about movement...
...and how our vocalized expressions may be enveloped with bodily motion.
I always, always, go back to butoh.
This morning, early to work, I took a little time to watch butoh dancers via YouTube videos. This is one that i will need to reference again and again.
Ikeda Carlotta - a great butoh dancer.

New project, new post!
Palabra: The Written Word, Spoken is the title of my forthcoming performance project, to be unveiled at the Rose Marine Theater on Friday and Saturday, December 3rd and 4th, 2010.
It seems that it's been a while since I've directed a spoken word show for the stage that involves more than a coupla performers and writers. I'm very much looking forward to this new exploration of word--specifically the published poetry of Latin American writers, both passed and present--and am pleased and honored by the invitation of Adam Adolfo and the RMT/Artes de la Rosa crew to create this production.
Already, I've been studying poems/poets whose work we will likely embody in live theatrical recitations. It's been fun traveling around town with copies of Neruda, Roque Dalton, and Victor Hernandez Cruz poems in my backpack--snatching brief interludes of reading here and there, on the bus, during lunch breaks, etc.
Also, I've been making lists to make myself lista: lists of performers to be invited to present w/ me; lists of poems that will make the final cut; lists of rehearsal dates. I'm hoping this process will be smooth and sweet.

email to Layne, website coordinator/designer
Hi, to you today!
Did you have a chance to look at the video clips sampler yet?
I finally peeked at it late last night. A few of the clips were
pretty good!
Do you think we can get our ideas together about how best
to include a clip or two on our website soon?
I think I like clips #1, #2, and #3 the best. (though i wish
somebody could have yanked that scarf off my head before
i went onstage as CURANDERA...!)
Also---regarding "Reviews":
I couldn't find the entire review online, but here's a link
to my blog, where I cut-and-paste the Star-Telegram review:
http://projectprocess.blogspot.com/2007/09/extreme-production-fascinates-with.html.
Also:
Former Fort Worth Weekly writer Ken Shimamoto's
review, as found on his current blog STASH DAUBER:
http://stashdauber.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
(scroll down to post of November 12, 2007)
++++++++++
Also, I would love to have a link from our website
to the article i wrote for Here There Magazine
(http://www.heretheremag.com/theatrefilm.htm),
which just launched on Saturday, March 1st.
++++++++++
Let me know, Layne, when you might have time
for a phone chat about these ideas (and anything
else that might need discussion). Thanks!
