Talent Homoludens

Labels are for cans.

Performance as surrender, surprise and intoxication. The clown as permission, revelation, no pretense. Wearing masks and filling them. Performing gender, age, class, ethnicity...studied and learned behavior, movement, vocal patterns...The inturruption is everything. Responsive and present, it must move through you. It must be harnessed. It must be alive. It must not know where it ends. It must dance. The ridiculous state. The state of play is grace. Is the thing. The natural state. Open and awake. Keep it flowing. Keep it simple. Keep it funny or sink into the tragic, know that line, cross it consciously. How does a failure make us laugh, how does a laugh make us cry? Reaching. Keep throwing it. SPLAT! Look at it. Talk about it. Make it more...
