Poetry is weird, they say


Sunday morning slowness ensues.

Every so often I am reminded how odd I am as a person in the world. Which must mean I'm doing something right. 

My latest approach to live stream video performance is to experiment with silent acting, poetry, and a mix of spoken word (monologue, poetry, prose, whatever makes sense to me at the time) and it seems this approach is just... hard for people to grasp. 

I think about the differences between screen acting, acting for theater, and social media live streaming -- and I think the main differences are the norms that surround each of these environments. In reality, they are all very similar stages. 

so as you might guess, I will continue my experiments. 

I wonder what will be next?
