‘I was dreaming about the fatberg,’ she said in the morning when their alarm went off.
The fatberg didn’t ooze. It was a solid, unmoving mass. Every day they broke away chunks like breezeblocks.
This one was a monster, the biggest yet. It was almost the weight of a blue whale and extended three hundred metres under the street.

“Miss Cornelia Bryant. She’ll likely be over to see you soon, seeing you’re Presbyterians. If you were Methodists she wouldn’t come at all. Cornelia has a holy horror of Methodists.”
“She’s quite a character,” chuckled Doctor Dave. “A most inveterate man-hater!”
“Sour grapes?” queried Gilbert, laughing.
“No, ’tisn’t sour grapes,” answered Captain Jim seriously. “Cornelia could have had her pick when she was young. Even yet she’s only to say the word to see the old widowers jump. She jest seems to have been born with a sort of chronic spite agin men and Methodists. She’s got the bitterest tongue and the kindest heart in Four Winds. Wherever there’s any trouble, that woman is there, doing everything to help in the tenderest way. She never says a harsh word about another woman, and if she likes to card us poor scalawags of men down I reckon our tough old hides can stand it.”
“She always speaks well of you, Captain Jim,” said Mrs. Doctor.
“Yes, I’m afraid so. I don’t half like it. It makes me feel as if there must be something sorter unnateral about me.”

If You Are Carrying a Pizza Box You Can Get Into Any Building
Photo Credit – Andre Callot The experimental performance world and the new play development racket are on two sides of the tracks. Nary the twain shall meet. I talk to both of them and feel like a child of a bad divorce, wishing they would talk more to each other. The experimental world is acknowledging the live event, transcending narrative, finding new forms, and touring Europe. The new play…

Shifting from Neutral: An Affectful Manifesto
Shifting from Neutral: An Affectful Manifesto
Photo by Josh Smith
Neutral means without affect or action. It also has come to mean non-acting. I think it means normative.
Authentic means true, and without filter. It has come to mean felt. I think it means normative.
Real means not artificial. It has come to mean believable. I think it means nothing.

There is a strange blind spot among contemporary avant-garde or “downtown”…

TELE-VIOLET Interview on "The Power of Emotion"
Interview with Katherine Brook + Shonni Enelow of TELE-VIOLET, coming to Under the Radar 2015 INCOMING! with "The Power of Emotion":
What moment or idea do you hope the audience will remember most from your show? KB: I want the audience to see emotional contagion. SE: I want the audience to consider emotion on the stage in a way they’ve never considered it before. What was or is the greatest challenge of developing or presenting this piece? SE: Answering the question of how much and what kind of narrative should there be in a piece like this –– what kind of narrative would hold but not contain the ideas. KB: Communicating what the piece is about in advance of someone seeing it can be hard for that reason. That’s been a challenge: talking about the piece. Why do you do theater? SE: I think I make theater first of all because the experience of performing as a small child was and still is foundational to my sense of self. KB: I think that the experience of sitting with an artwork over time is really powerful. SE: I feel that way too. And I like hearing something I've written in somebody else’s voice. KB: We both like collaborating. SE: And seeing our work unfold in time and space. Creating an event in which artwork happens. What other art are you most excited about RIGHT NOW? KB: New music, new classical music. I’ve gotten interested in it because of the show, and I wish more people knew about it. I think it feels inaccessible to a lot of people. I’m excited about new opera in particular. SE: I’m thinking a lot about experimental film right now. I’m interested in performance in film, acting in film.
What is something in the world you wish more people knew about or were aware of? SE: The novels of Elena Ferrante. Carlos Saura’s film …Cria Cuervos. My friend Michael Koresky just wrote a book about the British filmmaker Terrence Davies, whose films are stunning.
KB: I wish people — especially people who aren't artists — were more aware of the economics of art-making. It's amazing what artists manage to do with very little money in New York City.
