THE FOLLOWING TOTALLY HASN'T BEEN UPDATED IN A YEAR. Read at your own Risk.Me in a nutshell right now. It seems like nothing else matters before or after. In the summer of 2002, I escaped the Midwest to NYC where performances and theater would knock me down at every corner. 3 years pass, and I have done shit. Nothing. Nada. Natch. Zil. Zip. Zero. Not a godamned thing. In the summer of my 30th birthday 2005, I realized that if I didn’t do Something. ANYTHING. Immediately. It might be too late. But how? Where? Lack of resources, time, money and space was the cause of all of this nothingness in the first place. But it had to be now. It had to be here. Inertia30 is my response.On June 6, 2005 I, a formerly accomplished performer and person, conceived INERTIA30, An Endurance Performance Art Event as a reponse. I have 60 days to create 30 distinct, 30-minute performances, and secure 30 different venues with no money, no time, and limited resources. I will then perform them for 30 consecutive days. To make up for lost time. To challenge our fears of performance, art, and creating. To recall Manhattan-centric values. To subvert capitalist realities of being an artist. To stop waiting for permission. This is a call to do Something—Anything! Only in North Williamsburg, NYC--Not Manhattan. Not this time. www.amandagrove.net.
