![]() ![]() Here’s a biographical detail for this bio: I’m a Virgo. Still… there is a nagging question: are we all simply Virgos obsessing over the categories, stratagems, and lists in order to ground our nomadic insecurities with an organizing principal chained to want? There is more work to be done before derailing this wholistic approach with sabotaging doubt. We haven’t yet achieved enough critical mass of agreement that they are content. Essentially: stack the genres, layer the forms, delight in the human warbles, throw in a little direction, notice the image is faded, get lost, damp, realize it’s grown something that might be harming you, try to clean it, hope it worked, realize it hasn’t, choose to make use of the harm, find a different way, repeat with variation, and call it theatre.Īnd… I wonder if it’s time to consider that form, style, aesthetics, pace, duration, craft, and process may not be content? Gosh forbid. Personalized, researched, detailed, figurative, metaphorical, and imperfect. Are all these numbers ways to disengage from the challenge of content? Does form do the same? So rather than being in a tantrum-tower-building-isolating-your turn-my turn conflict, how might we wonder WITH them?Ī start may be to rid ourselves of numbers. I also wonder: would an isolated child really dream towards theatre if it meant spending even more alone time? Though, is a character ever alone? Even when rehearsing a one-person show, the ancestral makers are present. that tower may be the room where it happens, but the street is where it’s at. Could we turn our craft into a vagary of wondering? In other words, how do we become less knowing and more Socratic?Īnd are these actions reserved only for when we're alone? Or singular? Or hierarchical? Here’s a funny thing you start to wonder about as you climb the ladder: if access to the tower means no access to the street, maybe, baby, it ain’t worth it. There was once an acting teacher who said, “When your character is alone on stage their action is one of three things: praying, figuring out, or recalling.” Wise as that craft may be, may we transform this triumvirate into a truncation, one which offers an expansion? While the method acting teacher is interested in showing how people are, some of us are (also?) interested in using theatre to explore possibility. But may we add that the radical queer understands a male orgasm may be varied, multiple, and circular? All this to agree: There’s more than one way to engage with others. That seems accurate, in terms of theatre usually engorging to catharsis. Here’s something a bunch of us theatre folk are considering, in terms of change: how can we make wondering the center of dramatic action, rather than centering the achievement of goals that are inherit in conflict? Sarah Ruhl says most theatre is made in the form of a male orgasm. I suppose that’s why I’ve made a life in the theatre it’s a life geared towards change. Imagine getting to have a pronoun that’s an art piece! I’m here to tell you, it’s as annoying to navigate as it is delicious. My gender is “performer” (one day I’ll get it on the passport). My gender isn’t male or female or non-binary (which oddly creates a binary between people who are non-binary and people who are binary). It’s a personalized pronoun for someone whose gender (professionally and personally) is constantly changing. It’s not a joke, which doesn’t mean it’s not funny. A few people have claimed I use this pronoun as a joke. In case you don’t know, my pronoun is judy (only capitalized when at the start of a sentence, like a normal pronoun). I’m also a theatre artist who longs to be rid of the usual bios that are lists of achievements. It isn’t worth your time if you have any premium HDR software and are happy with it however.Taylor Mac is a theatre artist who prefers to write a bio in the first person. While you essentially have no customization options, the final results I received were pretty good for free, and it doesn’t get any easier than this to process HDR. If you are looking for free HDR software for a Mac, I personally think this is the best thing out there. While the image alignment for the most part isn’t bad, it is definitely not on par with some of the premium pieces of software. If you took a handheld shot, then you’re going to have a difficult time with HDRtist. I found the image alignment to be pretty hit and miss. They just want something that looks cooler than their friends traditional photos. This is for the iPhone set, or those that aren’t looking at every intricacy of a photo. However once again, this brings us back to the fact that this isn’t HDR software for diehard photographers. The colors are all over the place, but the detail in the bricks is pretty impressive. ![]()
