what the fuck? myspace hasn't worked all day... annoying! i want to post about the last few shows we have! freakin a!
|
|
| Come see me get tied up! |
[04 Jan 2007|12:10pm] |
I know I haven't posted on here in ages, but I am in a new show with the theatre company that I started with some friends about a year and a half ago, and I want people to come see it! It's going to be pretty awesome, and I would love it if all of you came out to see it. We run for five weeks! And I'm basically in underwear again, if that helps get ya there... and I really do get tied up. So yeah, come see it! Here's the info:
This most modern version of the Greek masterpiece Medea is a multi-media movement take on the classic. The text is rich with illusions to philosophy and literature as well as the world of pop songs. Maybe you don't think of MedEia as a pop kind of play, but consider its' themes: love, adultery, jealousy and revenge. Is there anything else more modern and still with us than those emotions?
MedEia opens on Jan 5th with an opening night party with the actors (tickets are $25 and include finger- food and beverages).
MedEia continues Thursday, Fridays and Saturdays at 8 pm from January 6 to February 3, 2006, at The Space, 2509 R St. There will NOT be a show on Saturday, January 13th. Two Sunday matinees are scheduled for Jan 28th and Feb 4th at 2 pm. Tickets are $15 general and $12 for seniors, students, SARTA & TBA members.
To reserve tickets please call 916-456-1600 or email beyondpro@sbcglobal.net. More information can be found at www.Beyond-Pro.org.

[05 Oct 2006|01:46am] |
tomorrow around 4pm i strike out across the country with erin.
we will hopefully make it all the way to the adirondacks and back to boston by tuesday, but if it takes us too long it's just straight to boston for us.
either way i get to see a lot of places i've never seen, and get to spend 3500 miles with one of my best friends before she is gone. dunno when the next time i'll see her will be, but i'm glad we've got this trip.
it should be awesome. nevada, utah, wyoming, south dakota, nebraska, iowa, illinois, indiana and michigan, you won't know what hit ya.
see you all in six days or so... i have 3500+ miles to drive.

[13 Aug 2006|01:50am] |
i am having second thoughts like nobody's business.
what does this all mean?
i don't know what i want anymore. but i can't really complain because i feel so much better than i have in years, really. not necessarily physically cause i have been sick, but on a mental plane i feel like i know what i need to do and am taking the steps to do it.
so bring it on, world.

god being away from sac is good for me. seeing kelly is amazing. SO glad i made this trip.. i definitely need it right now. just chillin and being able to forget about all the things that worry me on a consistent basis when i am home is so nice.
and did i mention that seeing kelly is fucking fantastic? i have definitely missed her.
i want to stay in sac through the april show for STE, but after that i think i will definitely be moving to NYC with her.. especially now that kyle is there and will possibly be able to get me a job.
i definitely danced on the bar at coyote ugly tonight... best thing i have done in SO long. and my new goal is to be a coyote ugly bartender at some point in the next five years. so trashy but SO FUCKING AWESOME. i had a fan club. it was great.. cause i'm not gonna lie - i love the attention. haha i guess that's why i do theatre.

| what doesn't kill you makes you stronger |
[31 Jul 2006|01:13am] |
a very good day, overall. i feel so much better. i know a lot is ahead of me, but i feel a little more confident that i will actually be able to handle it all. plus it is really good to be reassured that someone is exactly what you thought and to not have to be disappointed in that respect.
these next few weeks will be a true test of my strength, but every day i feel a little bit more certain that i am much stronger than i give myself credit for. i've been through a lot, and it has yet to kill me or make me go insane. this should not be any different. besides, i have some of the most wonderful people in the world around me. i honestly could not ask for better individuals to be rocketing into adulthood with. i know these people are friends for life - well, how could you not be friends forever with people who will go through all of this crazy shit with you, and always be right by your side with whatever you need? i wish everyone could have friends like i do... the world would be a much better place, and i honestly mean that.
things have been rough the past few months, but i have gained some much-needed perspective. i have some amazing prospects ahead of me.
now, more than ever, i have no regrets.
|
|
| i've been frustrated for several years. |
[25 Jul 2006|02:46am] |
these next two weeks are probably going to be the hardest of my life.
i am so lucky to have the friends that i do.
i seriously don't know what i would do without you guys. i know i am strong, i know i can survive this like i've survived so much before. but this involves other people in a way that i am definitely not used to. but i have to look out for me here. if other people cannot respect that, then they are not who i thought they were. i suppose this is the time to be a bit selfish.

| MESSAGE FROM SILVEIRA |
[25 Jun 2006|09:34pm] |
in regards to the informal charter gathering he had emailed some people about, silveira says:
"Folks:
Well, either I have many wrong email addresses, or people aren't CHECKING their email accounts, or the idea of a reunion isn't very exciting to many people. I received SIX responses. But I think more people are likely to show up. The first round is on me!
And the results of the poll are:
WHEN: Saturday, July 29, 7:00 PM
WHERE: Streets of London (1840 J Street)
Send the message out to all PFAA alumni you know! I'll send messages to teachers, too.
Silveira"

Good for this weekend only (June 15th - 17th)
Sacramento Theatre Experiment (STE) and Beyond the Proscenium Productions (BPP) invite you to see Dreams & Diatribes Redux for a special rate good for Sacramento theatregoers and supporters.
Print this email and receive $5.00 off your ticket (good for up to 6 people in your party). Also, you can go online to www.beyondtheproscenium.org and reserve your tickets online. Please mention "email special" in the comments section. More information is at the bottom of this email.
Come this weekend to the California Stage to celebrate something different. The reviews are in! Here's a sample:
Sacramento Bee Review:
the language and images are evocative and frequently hypnotic. The actors work well as an ensemble in a production that requires physical stamina as well as utter trust Avdienko directs the production and composed the music, which plays an integral part in it. Writer Tracy also produced the accompanying video art, which similarly is integral to the piece.
Sacramento News & Review:
"Its physical theater--lots of jerks and stretches, handstands and intertwining bodies--with a cast of five accompanied by spacey music.Ann Tracys script mixes maxims and proverbs (The poor will always be with us) with unanswerable questions (Was water involved?) and advertising jingles, inserted with a sarcastic edge.And theres the bit about the sexy eggplant.Clever interplay of words and motion, and a smart use of modest resources on the directors part. If youre looking for something different, this ones a good choice.
-----
Beyond the Proscenium Productions (BPP) is presenting our sister company Sacramento Theatre Experiment (STE) in Dreams & Diatribes Redux directed by Nick Avdienko. It continues on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8 pm from to June 24 at California Stage, 1721 25th St. (25th & R Sts.) Sacramento. . There will be one Sunday matinee at 2 pm on June 25.
Written by local playwright Ann Tracy, this dynamic performance is staged using Viewpoints, an exciting, post-modern theatrical practice. During the rehearsal process, actors use physical improvisation to explore the text through creative movement, which evolves into the composition for the piece. Multi-media elements are added to the production to create a highly visual and powerful theatrical experience. It's a new form of theatre combining text, movement, and visual media used by directors and actors in New York, LA, and London.
Tickets are $12 general and $10 for seniors, students, TBA and SARTA members for the remainder of the run. Ticket discounts are offered to groups of six or more. To reserve tickets, please call 916-456-1600 or visit the website at www.BeyondTheProscenium.org.
New Collaboration !
Dreams & Diatribes Redux is the first collaboration between Beyond the Proscenium Productions and Sacramento Theatre Experiment, BPP's newest sister company. BPP Artistic Director Nick Avdienko created Sacramento Theatre Experiment (STE) as a student project at CSUS. STE is a group of young, passionate artists dedicated to exploring the multitude of possibilities between movement and text. Because of the sparse/bare-bones/ uncluttered nature of the productions, STE is able to present their shows in any space within the Sacramento community. During the weekends, STE's energetic movement pieces can be seen at festivals, art galleries and in the streets and structures of Midtown Sacramento.

Starts at 5:30! Seating is EXTREMELY limited!
COME SEE ME IN A SHOW, DAMMIT. This show is one of the most exciting things i've been involved with in a long time. It is definitely weird, and definitely not the kind of theatre that most people are used to... but i really think it is freaking cool.
Plus it is free, and even if you don't like it, it's less than an hour long so you really didn't waste that much time.
come see it or i will kill you. don't test me.

i miss my life. my routine. having someplace to call home, someplace that is MINE. and time to myself to just BE when there are not a thousand other things i should be doing that occupy my mind.
i feel so alone lately. so much has changed in the past few months. and with those changes, i have lost some of my support network, and other portions of my support network have changed drastically. i can't talk to some people about the things i used to, and it is a very hard change to take.
i am so overbooked and failing at life in general. i spread myself so thin that it is impossible to do anything well. i can only apply a meager portion of my energy to anything, because that energy has to go eight million different places. when all is said and done, i will have been working on at least one show constantly from january 23rd through june 25th, sometimes overlapping two shows at once. that is six months... six months of NO break. six months of rehearsal 5 or 6 days a week. and that is on top of my job, 13 units at school, a relationship, and trying to organize my damn life on my own after two and a half years of someone else there helping me along. i feel like i am teetering on the edge of a nervous breakdown, and i just don't know where to turn. everyone else has other issues, and i've never been one to impose my problems when friends are going through their own shit. it is really hard for me to say i need help, even when it is blatantly obvious that i do. i fucking hate relying on or needing other people...but i appreciate it when people see that i need help or comfort and give it to me without me having to ask. i guess that makes me feel like less of a failure.
i know, deep in my heart i KNOW, that no one is perfect. and i hate when people tell me i am perfect because it imposes an unrealistic expectation which i cannot live up to. but for some reason, regardless of all of that, i still expect myself to be. i still feel the need to be...at least outwardly. i can be having the shittiest day ever, and i will never show it. i act the fucking same no matter what is going on in my head, and only those closest to me will know when anything is different. i just can't let my guard down, even for a minute. i hate it, but no matter how hard i try to change it, i always fall back to smiling and joking about things. i just don't know how to let those emotions through when others are around. then i am left crying alone in my bedroom at night, because that is the only time i know how to. or, apparently, here in my cubicle where i am now praying that my boss won't come in and ask me what is wrong... because i know i would fucking lose it.
i hate today. i hate the pouring rain, the fro my hair creates in such weather, my wet jeans and socks, my shitty windshield wipers, how my coat smells like wet dog because it is made of wool, my broke-ass umbrella that is all bent from the wind a month or so ago, the huge puddle on the way from overflow parking across j street onto campus, the squeaky linoleum floors at school, flourescent lighting, sinus pressure, random nose bleeds, and basically everything i have come into contact with today.

| christ is coming, and so am i. |
[30 Mar 2006|02:46pm] |
man oh man, i am ready for this week to be fucking OVER. i don't know what it is, something in the air perhaps, but everyone is in shitty moods, getting sick, depressed, etc. even my professors are feeling it.
no work tomorrow because of cesar chavez day, thank god! and saturday there is a much-needed party to warm the humble abode of tobe and shanda. definitely coming at the right time, i know we all need to get a little crazy-go-nuts.
barely over a week til we open for hamletmachine.. scary. i am really, really excited about it, but nervous at the same time. there is so much that is not done yet, i have no idea if it will all come together. but if nothing else, i get to put whore makeup on jason titus, do a creepy/sexy striptease, and scream and throw shit around the stage. all of which will be fun.
for some reason my neck is TERRIBLY sore, i can barely tilt it sideways in either direction without searing pain. perhaps something in afro caribbean yesterday.. that's probably a safe bet.
only two more hours at work... please go fast!

[28 Mar 2006|04:20pm] |
so i think i have finally decided, after three years, on something that i want to have permanently on my body. i am not going to rush out and get it this weekend or anything, it is definitely something i want to wait on for at least a few months, but i feel pretty certain about it. i want to get a tibetan-style lotus flower between my shoulder blades. i am trying to decide if i want to get the om mani padme hum below it, not sure yet about that aspect of it. not only is the lotus flower beautiful, but i really like the symbolism behind it in tibetan art. the journey the lotus flower takes, from being an ugly bulb at the bottom of the darkest ponds to breaking through the surface and blooming as a beautiful piece of nature is something i really appreciate, and its representation of enlightenment is beautiful.
i am really tempted to just go get it done soon, but i know that waiting will be much safer in the long run. i am definitely excited, though.

welcome to crankytown. population: me.
i forget how overly emotional and ridiculous i get when i am about to start my period. i freaking cried at the episode of grey's anatomy last night... how sad is that? i was literally sobbing at one point, then i realized how stupid i was being and started doing that weird laugh/sob thing that inadvertently turns into hiccups EVERY time, without fail. every tiny thing incites some extreme emotion in me, most of them completely unfounded. i guess at least i usually know i'm being irrational so i don't get too upset with those around me, but sometimes it is really difficult to tell how absurd you are being in this state. prior to this new birth control i am taking i was just a crampy bitch the week before my period, but now i'm a sore-boobed emotional wreck. not sure which i prefer.. but the lack of severe cramps is quite wonderful. plus the whole not getting pregnant thing is definitely a plus.
it is amazing the amount of change i have been through in the past several months.. i can't believe i have held it together so well. i expect some of that composure might come crumbling down sometime here, but i'm gonna go ahead and hope that it sticks. i really need to get a place so i can have my own space again. it is not worth it to set everything up the way i want it at my parents house, knowing that i probably won't be there for much longer, but at the same time it is really difficult for me to live out of boxes and not have an area that is MINE and that is COMFORTABLE. i'm just waiting for all the dust to settle so i can finally relax again.
i think i have to live with a couple, though, because i really can't afford to live with just one other person. i don't make enough money during the semester to afford more than about $350 a month in rent, and even that makes money TIGHT. but it is impossible to find a two bedroom for less than about $800, which leaves me SOL as far as that whole thing goes.. fuckin a. i wish i could feel ok about asking my parents for money, but i just cant. besides, i doubt they would be willing to help with rent when they would be totally fine with me just staying at home, which is free.
bah! growing up is lame sometimes. mostly because of money issues. if i did not have to worry about that, i would be just fine.
