The universe works in a very strange way. On Thursday, last week, I found this guy's blog or should I say the blog found me :). It was strange to realize that even if we think that we are all by ourselves there is always somebody who is experiencing similar life changes as you do. I had fun reading this blog. Here, take a look. |

“Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring." Marylin Monroe Today I was re-watching rehearsals for The Happenings... and again caught myself thinking about a certain problem I often face when working with actors/performers. With some of them the joy and playfulness achieved during rehearsals are lost when a premier approaches. It bugs me that we, as performers, want to be "perfect" for audiences. The beauty lies in mistakes and imperfections. I don't want to say that perfection is "bad" or that everything should be polluted with defects, no, but when a mistake is created there is a need for it to be corrected, thus a game of how to fix it begins. Theater is that game. |

I know, I know, this page seems dead, doesn't it? Well I promise to be more responsible about it. There is a lot to tell you... Even though The Happenings at Sogmush River or How to Become Chic and Mysterious All at Once (a long title and I love it :)!) happened some time ago, I am still working on it. It became a part of my MFA thesis in New Media Art and Performance. I will be posting some parts of it in here. So keep checking this page out if you want to find out what I was writing about in my paper :)! |

Since I am just about to start writing my MFA thesis, I thought that it would be great to remind myself about my MA thesis. Here is an excerpt from Epistemologies of Death Desire and Disgust in There are not many people who can truly say that they are not afraid of death. The second humans are born, in effect, they are born to die. Death has many faces; many of them are mysterious, frightening, and it is most often the case that when humans are faced with death they lose their “cool.” What humans do not understand or are afraid to understand makes them suffer. Humans suffer not from life itself, but from living it. A human being’s consciousness is defined by intellect or by a way of thinking. The knowledge of how thinking is born gives humans their perspective on how to live. Death, desire, and disgust go hand in hand on the road of the unknown. Humans bravely walk this road of disgust looking for answers, although usually emotions get in the way, of rational understanding. The mind dictates the norms born in a society, while inner souls are drawn to experience an unconscious story. |
