again, a new start

been reading alot of blogs, which makes me feel that I should write more.
though I have multiple outlets for most of what I might write those actually feel like a fair amount of pressure... what I'm supposed to write is very smart and thought out... so maybe this can be a blog of less meaningful things, or rough notes towards other writings. Since I haven't actually told anyone about it. I guess it could be found through my comments on others blogs, but don't do that much.

going to go see "Punch and Judy" in a bit. don't know if I'll like the show but like Brad and Tannis very much, so I'll like that part.

"My Arm" last night at world stage was great - so simple. a great basic system. really it's amazing to see a "bridge" work that works so well. by bridging i mean taking information from experimental/live art etc and more "popular" forms - stand-up, story telling. there is a scale, not absolutes. if there weren't people doing stand up and radical live art, that show couldn't exist. personally I would like a world where "my arm" and "peepshow" were just the standard, rather then exceptions, or seen as "weird"

in seeing two solo shows that mostly worked for me, I realize that solo shows are really just about story telling, that they succeed or fail on those grounds. group shows can be about other things but solos are about story telling. Spalding knew that. Probably most people do.

ok shower and show.
if anyone is reading, i'll see you later.
