Things To Remember
Aug. 26th, 2007 12:38 pmFrom the Collision Shop, things that have come up, as they so often do of a Sunday morning, that should be paid attention to, a miscellany, new things and some old things looking for a place that hasn't come along:
The article from today's New York Times on working actors, or rather, trying-to-always-be-working actors. A few theatre bloggers have already linked to it -- Lucas Krech giving it the appropriate title "What It Takes" -- and I think more than a few people who act in NYC (and elsewhere) will be emailing it to friends and family to explain, somewhat, what they do and what it entails.
A music video from Pere Ubu, for their song "Breath," filmed at The Orange Show in Houston, Texas:
Bob Cucuzza has been renting space at The Brick recently for his Acme Acting Lab. He's taking some time off to go do Gatz in Philadelphia (and damn, I'd go see it if only I had the time and money . . . so close and yet so far . . .) and elsewhere.
Oh, right . . . and THIS is something I keep meaning to share that makes me laugh, too, but you have to follow the link cause it can't be embedded.
Tonight, the last show in this August of Gemini CollisonWorks at The Brick - the final double bill of NECROPOLIS 0 and 3: Kiss Me, Succubus and At the Mountains of Slumberland. So, 24 performances down of 4 shows on 3 bills in 22 days. Then, a couple of days of cleanup at home and The Brick, running tech for The Moxie Show for Trav S.D. at Collective: Unconscious on Tuesday night, then off for some recouping/regrouping time in Maine, for as much time as we can take September/October (we have to keep coming back for various things at The Brick and otherwise).

Oh, and a side note . . . is it Times form to refer to Off-Off-Broadway (what some of us are are trying to rebrand as "Indie Theatre") as "off Off-Broadway?" As in, without one hyphen and capital letter? I've never noticed that before.
From the diary of Robert Fripp, July 20, 2007, 9.09 am:
Habit = habitual
Habit + presence = skill
Skill + presence + attention = craft.
Skill + presence + attention + understanding = artistry.

Here's the trailer for his film (based on his play) Speed Freaks, which I keep having to watch for a good laugh:

And we'll figure out what exactly plans are for GCW in 2008. More soon.
