Today I say

The social reality is a fiction, a beautiful drama; you can participate in it, but then you don't take it seriously. It is just a role to be played; play it as beautifully, as efficiently, as possible. But don't take it seriously, it has nothing of the ultimate in it..

Live intensely and totally now - because the next moment will be born out of this moment. And if you have lived it totally and joyously, you can be absolutely certain that the next moment will bring more blessings, more joy.

Poems in spaces with music

POEMS

we like our images

we draw everyday

in our minds, in empty

spaces

meant for

clear vision, truth,

a subtlety of being.

inventing other,

creating forms, colors, laughs,

conversation.

I talked to you last night

in my head

for a full hour.

SPACES

yesterday, i met Alexis Gamis who is quite cool dude. He has a PHD, is studying film and founded Imagine Science Film Festival. Why the name' Imagine' - because it was a magical day studying fruit flies that have a tissue named 'imaginal discs' and then thought 'that fits pretty well.' And the space we met was is an asian cafe, on 7th Av and 10th St in Park Slpe, that could use some decorating but a nice big space. for hosting really awesome unStandard events. possibly.

the other space is Googies, which is very intimate and cute lounge upstairs. decent acoustics and there's a big bar downstairs, generally its nice, very cozy (and warm). another option for a gathering of performance and ideas. which is coming soon. oh- and Assembly, is a clothing store, with a piano and cloth draped all around the room, that i kept looking into on my way home.

MUSIC

like happy, upbeat, folksy, strong music.. u do! discover Wylie Toms.

and so much more amazing- yes amazing music will be at the next show.

one last thing: LooK here

Stories and ..more

STORIES

theres an awesome organization called The Moth which is : people spilling their secrets and long lost moments of embarrassment, joy or sadness, through really interesting stories. The kind of information you read and think.. really?... that happened to someone? Well, yes, it's all true. All those strange, crazy and unimaginable, its true. Myths didn't come from no where, it all comes from some truth.

yesterday the theme was Disguises, which brought up a lot of relationship focused stories, unlike an earlier event which also was very relationship focused. and of course, relationships are what makes up our life. relationships= experiences = stories.

MORE

there's an theater company that is pretty cool. they did a summer play in Bryant Park as an:

"imaginary Bryant Park Croquet Society were dressed in white and playing croquet on Bryant Park's main lawn. Sipping tea and gossiping, they amuse the crowd that gathers around. Suddenly, as if possessed by a spirit, they burst into William Cullen Bryant's odes to nature". art.party. theater is a more active theatre- no sitting(for too long) allowed. i like very much interactive art and these people have some pretty fun ideas. like the upcoming show i'm considering to attend, " Duchess in the Dark", which "places the audience at the forefront of the gruesome action by giving them flashlights with which to explore the story".

the audience can control the play, and be part of it. YAY!

....

Just keep on
like I do and pay no attention. You'll
find that people always will complain
about the atmosphere, either too hot
or too cold too bright or too dark, days
too short or too long.

If you don't appear
at all one day they think you're lazy
or dead. Just keep right on, I like it.

And don't worry about your lineage
poetic or natural. The Sun shines on
the jungle, you know, on the tundra
the sea, the ghetto. Wherever you were
I knew it and saw you moving. I was waiting
for you to get to work.

...

And
always embrace things, people earth
sky stars, as I do, freely and with
the appropriate sense of space. That
is your inclination, known in the heavens
and you should follow it to hell, if
necessary, which I doubt.
...

- Frank O'Hara

yesterday was beautiful. today, as I look outside the office windows, its wonderful outside.

lets get more Sun!

Dance- Life- Spaces

Dance: "4 X 4"

I signed up to theater email lists so now I know about all different, awesome and some inexpensive shows. One that really interested me was "4 X 4" a modern dance show by a Brazilian dance company. So I... invited my parents... cuz that would be nice...and we saw it.

It was really something to see. SEE and HEAR. It combines intricate and vibrant visuals, lighting and music and amazing dancers- with amazing bodies. The show is stunning visually- like a fairytale. And one part is an amusing presentation of what would happen if dolls that are shy and dance really well had 'relations'.

Take a look at photos for a glimpse of the show.

Deborah Colker, the choreographer of the show, mentions in this article,

" Why must the stage always be horizontal and the dancer vertical?” she asked, and not rhetorically. “Why not use movement to subvert space and question gravity?."

LIFE

We need to find freedom in ourselves. Know any places that sell some?

SPACES

Recently, I've been attentive to the space I visit. Lofts, cafes, lounges, streets, parks, empty lots. Walking NY around I see such possibility- for parties gatherings, sharing, amusement, growth, amazement. I'm looking for new spaces. Maybe this for some time might be nice.
