POM WONDERFUL


Michael Bunsen documented me making pom-poms for my Pierrot costume last fall.

before working at montage, there was dining at montage. which is more horrifying?

acid flashback

the lc theater department has asked me to direct something at the school in the fall. i am very, very excited. i was looking at the photos from my senior project and thought i'd share some. if you'd told me then it would be so hard to get myself going outside of school, i'd never have believed you.
just around the time he went mad...

A lovely visit with the Mentions, Jeanne and of course Angie-doodle in Port Townsend. There were lilacs everywhere. Then I spent two days in Seattle with my dad, eating too much foie gras.

SAD FACE

This past Friday two different sets of friends had two very awesome sounding performances that I had to miss. It was a big week in both the food and performance communities I guess, with the biennial ending and the IACP Conference, and sometime we have to make hard choices in life. Gotta make those dollars! Stolen photos to make me cry glitter tears.

ON THE RULES OF THE GAME

Any game worth playing is highly social and has a problem that needs solving within it - an objective point in which each individual must become involved, whether it be to reach a goal or to flip a chip into a glass. There must be a group agreement on the rules of the game and group interaction moving toward the objective if the game is to be played.

Every part of the person functions together as a working unit, one small organic whole within the larger organic whole of the agreed environment which is the game structure. Out of this integrated experience, then, a total self in a total environment, comes a support and thus trust which allows the individual to open up and develop any skills that may be needed for the communication within the game. Furthermore, the acceptance of all the imposed limitations creates the playing, out of which the game appears, or as in the theater, the scene.
