3 Frames / By Me is curated from the full play By Me You’ll Never Know.
An intentionality that allowed process for this work, across pandemic hiatus, in exploring content that would offer challenges even in the best of circumstances.
I am sharing my huge congratulations to Mélisande Short-Colomb, and The Laboratory for Global Performance & Politics!
Méli, the core of storytelling that shapes your work is an essential gift in narrative for all the 'undiscussed' to be given as fodder for immersive investigation.
In my morning read I came across this article, by Harmony Holiday, on Literary Hub. It speaks to our, cultural celebration, setting the table, not just for guests, but for wisdom, perspective, anguish, shared pain -and inspiration.
In weeks to come I will be setting the table for the journey of 3 Frames / BY ME, a project just at the table, about to sit, share, celebrate -engage, and.. offer discourse. That, all to come.
In coming across an article in this morning's New York Times, I fell into a depth of my own history and journey, reflecting on my first Baldwin, a work that spoke to me.. in my own sense of 'otherness': Giovanni's Room.
..I have always been a voracious reader.. and then, as hormones hit, I became an omniverous reader, scarfing the look of foreign languages on the page, personalities in abundance, language -words- that connected, across my thinking.. - everything was food; I was Mentat; I was apprentice; I was Italian; I was James Baldwin; I was anyone.. in wandering my imagining.
