On FRIDAY, JUNE 19, 2009, I lied. I said I was graduated. In actual fact - I had merely finished all classes.It wasn't till the 8th that I officially graduated - with a ceremony, a cloak, and everthing! It was exciting, memorable... but also such an anti-climax. Being finished for 2 weeks before the graduation does that. None-the-less, It's nice for that part of life to be over. It's a chapter

"Does it not stand to reason, therefore, that having discovered the intermedia, the central problem is now not only the new formal one of learning to use them, but the new and more social one of what to use them for? Having discovered tools with an immediate impact, for what are we going to use them?"-Dick Higgins, 1966--I want to delve deeper into this "intermedia". However - could one not argue

“They are all of one mind, their hearts are set upon song and their spirit is free from care. He is happy whom the Muses love. For though a man has sorrow and grief in his soul, yet when the servant of the Muses sings, at once he forgets his dark thoughts and remembers not his troubles. Such is the holy gift of the Muses to men.” - HesiodMy muse and I reached reason.I gladly ate her fruit,with

Why are there so many songs about rainbows,and what's on the other side?Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,and rainbows have nothing to hide.So we've been told and some choose to believe it,I know they're wrong, wait and seeSomeday we'll find it, the rainbow connectionthe lovers, the dreamers and me.Who said that every wish would be heard and answeredwhen wished on the morning star?Somebody

I know I'm a bit late... but it's the thought that counts, right?--Augusto Boal - Message 2009All human societies are “spectacular*” in their daily life and produce “spectacles” at special moments. They are “spectacular” as a form of social organization and produce “spectacles” like the one you have come to see.Even if one is unaware of it, human relationships are structured in a theatrical way.

Psalm 143 (New International Version)A psalm of David. 1 O LORD, hear my prayer,        listen to my cry for mercy;        in your faithfulness and righteousness        come to my relief. 2 Do not bring your servant into judgment,        for no one living is righteous before you. 3 The enemy pursues me,        he crushes me to the ground;        he makes me dwell in darkness        like those

Originally written on: 9th of December, 2008:I was reading one of Hush and Such's posts, titled Inspirational Sufferage. I could have let this "moment of creative expression" pass me by, but getting ready for work is such a lame excuse - why work when I can blog - right?I love how somebody can write about the need to fill a blank piece of paper, or fill the silence with nervous humming.I've never

The following extract is from The Wittenburg Door. It is between them and Rob Bell. Enjoy.DOOR: The Church hasn't always been kind to artists. Especially ones bringing electricity.BELL: Our assumption is that Church is where you say the things that have to be said. So people will speak but say, "Oh, I wouldn't say that in church." Well then, where would you say it? To me, it's the place where you

Originally written: 12/5/08Dear reader(s),I am not making reference to the post-script of my last entry. Rather, I refer to the source of (rightfully) righteous anger against Christianity's prolific enemies. Characters like Richard Dawkins ("The God Delusion"), Osama Bin Laden (Al Qaeda), and the like.PLEASE NOTE that I am not, say again: I am not saying the two men are similar. Bin Laden wages a

I wanted to post this as a separate post, as it's a completely new topic, and coupled with the other would destroy the poetry.I have reached an interesting point in my artistic journey.Some days I wake up, and as I walk to the train, I feel like an artist. Something inside myself tells me that I have a future in the arts, and in the theatre.Other days however, I wake up with nothing. I feel as

I update this blog far too sporadically than I would like.On the other hand: nobody reads it anyway - so why worry?Confession time.I've been in a spiritual slump lately.Too many worldly influences, thoughts, habits, etc. I put it down to a combination of the company I keep (the vast majority are unsaved artists. Go figure - artists aren't known to be 'pure of mind'), and my own lack of

I discovered something today:There aren't any names with the meaning 'promiscuous'.I was trying to find a name for my muse -She dissapears for weeks on end, andI suspect she's seeing someone else.My Muse is a fickle creature.--Thus -maybe I should listen to Mr Gide:"Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better." - André GideGodspeed,-Th3o.

*EDIT* Sorry if the following post doesn't make much sense. These were ramblings of a tired man. I'll try and fix this up in the next few days sometime.Last night was full of procrastination. Amongst which, I had a wholesome, and fruitful distraction in a discussion with a good friend about a collaboration we are about to embark on. From this conversation, I remember her mentioning she could
