* What Does Your Earth Date Mean? *When I was little I wanted to be a carpenter. I would sneak and take my father's tools and basically break up the wall in our apartment. Well, my days with his tools were short but I never lost the urge. From there I discovered vintage clothing. I was about 7 or 8 and would dress in gowns and lounge around the apartment calling everyone daaahling! So if you put the two together like I did you become a theatre junkie: carpenter, electrics, backstage butch in blacks on one hand-- onstage Diva on the other. So where am I now? Maintaining the Balance of all my different hats. * I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.1
“There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique, and if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium; and be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, not how it compares with other expression. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer, divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others.” ---- M A R T H A G R A H A M

DRAG
By Suzan-Lori Parks
(this material is copyrighted)

A woman trudges onstage. Behind her she drags an enormous bundle of thick rope.
The bundle need not be really heavy, but it should be large,
and with her sweat and effort, she should make us feel its weight.
She drags the bundle from stageright to stageleft. This takes a long time.
A Man comes in. He sits downstage right on the floor and plays solitaire.
He hears/sees her, watching without watching.

Man: Drag, huh?
Woman: Not-at-all.

Almost stageleft, she stops. She rests, wipes the bundle clean, then sits on it.
Quite completely. As if it were her favorite red meditation cushion and she were in a place where enlightenment were as obtainable as a cup of coffee.
Flowers spring from the bundle, birds sing, and some of our favorite people-Bobby Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Jr. and Mahatma Ghandi-come back from the dead.
Beautiful music plays. The Man, watching all the while, gets it, smiles, goes back to his cards.

Mermaids are also known as Sirens. These creatures were beautiful women who tricked sailors into becoming completely entranced by their haunting voices and found death soon after. Not all stories of Mermaids are about gentle loving sea people. They are mystical, magical, and extremely dangerous. They have a way about them that brings anyone they are around to seem enchanted. They are very mysterious creatures and to meet one... Would mean certain Death. Let the song of the Sea fill your soul, for you are a Mermaid.

Music:

Sometimes I believe that if music took a human form, it would be a Kiebpoli, like me. Sounds spring from my limbs when I Dance. My best Relationship at any given moment can be with a Song. I like lots and lots and lots of different kinds of Music. From Gillian Welch to Kelis, Beady Belle to Bebe, Chambao to Cyndi Lauper, Jill Scott to Finley Quaye. Blind Boys of Alabama to "hooker-strip Music" Music helps me Breathe.

Movies:

Victor~Victoria, Pennies From Heaven, Abre los Ojos, The Dark Crystal, The Three Amigos, The Warrior Princess, Blue, Amadaus, The Time Bandits, The Brother From Another Planet, Splash, American Dream[anime], Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Brazil, The Emerald Forest, The Matrix, Flashdance, Summer-Spring-Winter-Fall, The Last Temptation of Christ, The Outsiders, Raising Arizona, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Amimation festivals, I enjoy foreign films a lot. When do I have time to watch a film?

Television:

Most of the time my tv is covered by a piece of blue satin, henceforth not much tv watching goes on. When I need to zone out I watch tv. When do I have time to zone out?

Books:

Blank books I can fill with my words, Dreams, Lustquests, doodles, and show ideas. Story of the Eye, Adrienne Kennedy, The Coldest Winter Ever, Audre Lorde, The Tipping Point, Langston Hughes, Neruda (en español), Alice in Wonderland, Rumi, The Outsiders, Ntozake Shange, online Porn, Ai, The Phantom Tollbooth, Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH, The Giving Tree, Watership Down, In the Night Kitchen, Tennessee Williams, Jamaica Kincaid, 100 Years of Solitude, Como Agua Para Chocolate, House, Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim, The Dictionary, Einsteins's Dreams, Astrology books, the book that is inside of me

Heroes:

* Teachers *
* My son: "What would Destino do?" *
* My Grandma! * * My Parents *
* Mommies that are Fierce * * Kid Lucky * *

Damn everything but the Circus!
...damn everything that is grim, dull,
motionless, unrisking, inward turning,
damn everything that won't get into the
Circle, that won't enjoy, that won't throw
its heart into the tension, surprise, fear
and delight of the circus, the round
world, the full existence.
