"‘Why do we sacrifice so much energy to our art? Not in order to teach others but to learn with them what our existence, our organism, our personal and unrepeatable experience have to give us; to learn to break down the barriers which surround us and to free ourselves from the breaks which hold us back, from the lies about ourselves which we manufacture daily for ourselves and for others; to destroy the limitations caused by our ignorance and lack of courage; in short, to fill the emptiness in us: to fulfill ourselves. […] We fight then to discover, to experience the truth about ourselves; to tear away the masks behind which we hide daily. We see theatre - especially in its palpable, carnal aspect - as a place of provocation, a challenge the actor sets himself and also, indirectly, other people. Theatre only has a meaning if it allows us to transcend our stereotyped vision, our conventional feelings and customs, our standards of judgment - not just for the sake of doing so, but so that we may experience what is real and, having already given up all daily escapes and pretenses, in a state of complete defenselessness unveil, give, discover ourselves.’"

Hello.
I am now going to share my experiences as an artist and person more on this blog. I think it is best to do so. I started this blog a couple of years ago, after a couple of my artist friends (one a dancer, another a graphic designer) suggested I start a blog where I collect things that inspire me. So I am back at it - last year as a crazy time at school, and there was just no time. But now I am going to get it started up again.
Sam Szabo (my frequent collaborator/BFF) and I have been wanting to make a piece about Fred and Ginger. We found ourselves in the Crystal Ballroom of the Biltmore Hotel last night - wandering in darkness amongst the ghosts of old Hollywood. Perhaps we will make a performance for this space in the future. We will see. We hope we hope.
