mia

culpa for the hiatus! I have been traveling and helping my father start his studio school (which is a whole summer worth of Blogs that I could not get to as I was entertaining, however I will, get to the Highlights intermitantly as the memories bubble back up to consiousness). But enough about me...This is my first evening as a Resident Artist at the Elsewhere Artists' Collaborative and it has been interesting getting to know the infrastrucure of the program. There seems to be a performative element to this program that many of the people here seem to really enjoy and it makes me a bit nervous, the whole performing business and all. It seems very much like reality TV in some ways but I am not exaclty certain how I can articulate this point just yet so this theme of my relation to acting and performing here at Elsewhere, specifically as seen through a "reality TV" lens, I will revisit. I did however, and I am very excited about this, find several textbooks that I had in grade school and am cooking up something very tasty for my project. I will certainly keep you posted but it is late, I have been traveling and have just absorbed an heroic amount of information so I depart but I will see you very soon.
