Le manège d'Andrea :

Il a été créé à Toulouse en 1999 par l'équipe de la Machine, dirigée par François Delarozière, et a été entièrement fait à la main à partir de bois, de cuivre et d'acier. Parmi les éléments du manège, on trouve entre autres un caméléon, un poisson-volant, un lézard à collerette, une autruche, un poisson montgolfière, un hippocampe, un lucane cerf-volant, un homme volant et un cheval ailé. Il mesure 13 m de haut pour 13 m de diamètre et occupe une surface au sol de 260 m2. Il pèse 20 tonnes. Trente-quatre enfants de 2 à 12 ans peuvent y prendre place. Le chapiteau en bois sculpté est orné de dix sérigraphies représentant les aventures extraordinaires d'explorateurs des siècles passés.

Il sillonne la France et d'autres pays européens comme l'Espagne, le Portugal et la Belgique. Il revient régulièrement à Nantes, aux Machines de l'île, dans le parc des Chantiers, où il rejoint les autres créations de La Machine de François Delarozière.

Malvolio’s Revolve

The joy of Shakespeare is that even if you see the same play dozens of times, each production is its own, unique experience.

Having said that… there are certain bits of stage business that often crop up in numerous productions. One of my favorites is Malvolio’s revolve.

Just for fun, here are various examples of Malvolio’s revolve that have been captured on film. (If the gifs don’t work, check out my original post here.)

Alec Guinness in the 1970 ITV Saturday Night Theatre production  does the classic dubious, self-conscious revolve, although Sir Toby and his gang are safely behind a hedge and don’t have to hide.

Nicholas Pennell in this 1986 filmed production at the Stratford Festival of Canada executes a confident and rarely-seen double revolve, forcing his peanut gallery to duck out of sight.

In this filmed version of the Renaissance Theatre Company’s 1988 production, Richard Briers executes a very slow , dubious revolve that is notable for being counter-clockwise. In my experience, most Malvolios revolve in a clockwise direction.

Finally, this Stratford Festival production milks the revolve for all it’s worth, with Tom Rooney’s Malvolio turning at just the right speed to miss Sir Andrew’s desperate dash across the stage.

Some productions choose to have Malvolio turn the letter around, rather than himself. Others either blow past the line without acknowledging its comedic gag potential, or cut it in its entirety. All are valid choices, but honestly… why look a gift gag in the mouth?

“In my experience, most Malvolios revolve in a clockwise direction” is my new favorite blind of Shakespeare analysis

my high school used to start at 7:30 and I lowkey think that was child abuse

[1percentcharge]

For 4 years I woke up at 6 am, at least (I took the bus and for a year or two it came between 6:40 and 6:50). Morning showerers, or people who put effort into their hair or makeup, probably had to wake up even earlier. Then we all went to school and sat in a health class where our gym teacher told us that teenagers are supposed to get 10 hours of sleep a night. Genuinely implying that we were supposed to go to sleep at 8pm if we cared about our health. The dissonance made my head spin. I haven’t been in high school for years and I’m still mad about it. Maybe even more mad

Not that anybody asked, but I think it's important to understand how shame and guilt actually work before you try to use it for good.

It's a necessary emotion. There are reasons we have it. It makes everything so. much. worse. when you use it wrong.

Shame and guilt are DE-motivators. They are meant to stop behavior, not promote it. You cannot, ever, in any meaningful way, guilt someone into doing good. You can only shame them into not doing bad.

Let's say you're a parent and your kid is having issues.

Swearing in class? Shame could work. You want them to stop it. Keep it in proportion*, and it might help. *(KEEP IT IN PROPORTION!!!)

Not doing their homework? NO! STOP! NO NOT DO THAT! EVER! EVER! EVER! You want them to start to do their homework. Shaming them will have to opposite effect! You have demotivated them! They will double down on NOT doing it. Not because they are being oppositional, but because that's what shame does!

You can't guilt people into building better habits, being more successful, or getting more involved. That requires encouragement. You need to motivate for that stuff!

If you want it in a simple phrase:

You can shame someone out of being a bad person, but you can't shame them into being a good person.

Fun fact, that was literally what inspired me to make this post!

Finding out there is a person in this world with the last name Kazzam high key made me consider marriage. I need that last name YESTERDAY. Old, young, in prison, homeless, wealthy or insane. That kick ass last name holds my undying loyalty.

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW STUPIDLY COOL THAT NAME IS?!?

LMFAO

Someone on TikTok said they are positive I’ve drawn gay porn before but they have no proof of it, and as someone who has not done that, I have never been more flattered.

But real talk what would classify as a gay porn art style anyway?

#google translate does not capture the tone switch so i have to say. first two sentences are like. normal maybe kind of feminine posting tone #& the last is like. shounen manga protagonist. action movie hero. jojo's bizarre adventure character. #the tone you would use if you were holding a gun with the safety off (– @chadlesbianjasontodd)

[minothtime]

Basically, a translation could be:

I just think it's so interesting that people end up falling in love with their friends' boyfriends! I absolutely despise every single one of them. give me my fucking homie back you goddamn bastard

translation tags by @minothtime because they are so so good
