argh!

I'm a word person,
and as such
I fall prey
to the western
predeliction -
the sacrosanct text

been reading artaud
watching kaufman
and trying desperately
to think in pictures
and arriving only
at process

compositions for actors
where neither the text
nor the pictures are primary
the process is

if the process is good
the pictures
and the text
will work
otherwise
interesting experiment?

best I can do

grrr...

so much to learn
to really pull this
stuff off

i'd bury myself in
work if only I could
continue to eat

reading some
of the Greeks now
thinking of chorus
and poetry
and blood

(later I'll
talk to all
of you about
the power
of liquid
onstage...
let's not
be afraid
to be messy...
I'll scrub the stage
on my knees
every night
if we have to
if we have to
to make things
to make things
work...

some things
should be wet.)


nothing but love
and respect
and the desire
to push through
them both
and do the work
anyway...

and now to bed.
