Saturday!!!

Upstart Arts presents a staged reading of William Shakespeare's searing assault on the fragility of love and trust: www.eventbrite.com/e/othello-a-...

Had the whole Othello cast at the recording session last night:

Key Othello line "And when I love thee not, chaos is come again."

For the current & future school board & city council members here: this is why playgrounds & parks are important. Remember little kids falling out of their seats at school? Not enough play. Humans need food and play all through primary school and beyond. Kids need it even to be able to school.

Life needs play! "By play, I mean a dynamic in which tightly coupled means/ends relations are loosened such that something new can emerge... Play is ubiquitous in the living world. It makes room for something new, for growth, for flourishing.." -E. Kohn books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp...

Today in legendary Upstart moments: recording delay due to Canadian sunset and accompanying solar storm. Good for unit morale and cohesion.

Iago had a bonus kitten for Othello rehearsal tonight.

Out of the Western World: 50 Years of the Druid Theatre Archive www.irishtimes.com/culture/stag...

All great musicians — no, all great artists are students of their artform. Knowing this is important, and the very best respect the history and pay homage. I think about who had to be taught this, because the people who created and enjoyed this music would already know it. Love the photo though.

Another haunting tale from the cellars: will Sherlock Holmes survive? open.spotify.com/episode/31ia...

So many artists do this. Thinking about Glenn Ligon (quotes on textiles, neon, etc). Even choreographer Bill T. Jones who created a narrator for one of his pieces, Curriculum II, who quotes text from Sylvia Wynter and other theoriststhat informed the work. Dance piece was about race and tech.

Next on our prep for Othello to read list: Shakespeare in Sable. www.goodreads.com/book/show/27...

Thanks to @pengarr.postes.club, I just learned of the existence of this Muppet Show clip of Christopher Reeve singing "Brush Up Your Shakespeare"!!!! In case you need a pick-me-up today!!!!

New work with words by Shakespeare. I really hope you like it.

Tonight, the monthly reading group read first half of The Cherry Orchard. I grumble about Chekhov a lot, but then he hits you with these moments, Trofimov's speech about how owning human souls changed Russia's ruling class. And there are almost always crocodiles. Or cucumbers.

Tonight: spending some time in THE Cherry Orchard
