Important.
Sunday in Bushwick. That's right. It's finally Spring!
This feels relevant to my life. All the time maybe? But especially right now.
This is what's been happening. It's pretty crazy that I show I first made so many years ago and has been such a huge part of my development as a theater maker is getting this kind of attention now.
BABY THINGS
oh dear
I need this to stop because look at that seal. LOOK AT THAT PIGLET!
It feels a bit presumptuous to try to write about such large-scale tragedy, but it is what I do now. To try to make sense of pain. To try to find a way to go on. To resist the immobilizing fear.
I read the news on twitter and through the afternoon, obsessively refresh my feed, which is at...
This is a thing I did. I'm pretty proud of it. Glitter shoes and RuPaul and feelings.

What Do You Think Melissa Etheridge Is Doing For Halloween?
"You know how lesbians love Halloween?"
The Polish cast of Les Miserables performs a flash-mob version of ‘Jeszcze Dzień’ (‘One Day More’) at Złote Tarasy in Warsaw, 15 April 2011.
I am not in the least exaggerating when I tell you that the only thing more wonderful to me than this video would be to be able to go back in time and be at ZT that day.
I am not ashamed to say that I started to cry when they were marching in the middle of this mall. I know it is simply an interesting way to market the production but it moved me so much. I think I feel that way about singing a lot, musicals specifically, and I also attach a ton of memories to Les Mis from listening to the soundtrack growing up and seeing it on Broadway the first time I ever went to New York. Watch this.
What Do You Think Kathy Bates Is Doing Right Now? (by JefferySelf)
Alert! I love it.
Process. Or Something Like That.
I didn't get to take the workshop with Guillermo Gomez Pena at AS220 that led to this performance at 95 Empire because I work for the space where the workshop and performance were held and I had work to do to help make it happen. And it happened and it was wonderful.
I was able to spend some time with Guillermo and his collaborator Michelle Ceballos Michot here and there and it was always interesting and energizing, but the only time I heard him speaking about making work, about collaboration, was when I passed by the door of the black box that was propped open just a little bit. I heard Guillermo's voice speaking to a silent (I presume enraptured) room:
"Treat your collaborators with a tenderness, kindness, but also a firmness. You are becoming la familia..."
He was likely speaking specifically about how this temporary ensemble of local art makers should come together in just three short days to make a show people would be coming to see.
But it resonated so deeply with me as I move back into a collaborative theatre making pair to finish creating a show we have started and as I look around me for new collaborators, new people to help me make things. It felt like the universe tapping me on the shoulder as I made meaning of a coincidence; the only words I heard from the workshop were the exact words I needed to hear.
How easily we are undone, knowing the events without the plot: caution and light and the odor of skin threading the secret, a loom. What will happen? From Jorie Graham’s “On Why I Would Betray You,” in Hybrids of Plants and of Ghosts. 1980.
Oh look everyone, it's Julie Klausner. I am saving up to listen to this tonight - though, what am I saving up? Time? I guess time.
It doesn't matter. You should save up some time and then listen to it too!

How Was Your Week: Episode 73 “The Sneaker Nap”: Bobcat Goldthwait, Simon Amstell
The new episode of How Was Your Week begins with gratitude and progresses, ideally, with generosity! Consider it a gift, because we are so appreciative that the #TipSpoony campaign was such a success. Thank you, seriously, so much. First on the show is British comedian and star of Grandma’s House SIMON AMSTELL, who’s in New York doing his one-person show, Numb, and has things to tell us about cats, Peru, apples, thoughts and feelings. Also, he went on The View this week and has stories about what that was like! Simon is brilliant and you must see his show if you can. Our second guest is BOBCAT GOLDTHWAIT, who is simply wonderful. He has lots to say about his new film, God Bless America, what his mom used to say about homely people in church, what it was like having a dad who did magic tricks, what the Merchant Ivory guys had to say about making a film look more expensive, whether Save the Cat’s theory of making characters suffer is a bit much, and how he would rewrite Shakes the Clown if he were to make it today. Also: how to turn into a cat, why hookers have to work harder now, how Hoop Dreams could have been better, whether I’m more like a tomato or the stuff in a oven that can only be cleaned with dangerous poisons, how money matters can be like surprise obesity, and the difference between Ruby and Rudy, both of which are, apparently, movies. This is a great show, and we made it just for you.
My greatest apologies for more kittens, but I cannot. Handle. This.
