The strangest things on this calm bright morning are the trees.<br />
I thought I knew them, as much as I knew anything always there,<br />
taller, stronger, older than me.<br />
They stand silent, straight and still<br />
like rioters facing the judge the morning after.<br />
Blameless, innocent, just another part of the landscape<br />
Nothing betraying the wild dance in the dark.<br />
<br />
But I saw them.<br />
All of them moving, swaying and writhing<br />
In an ancient ecstasy that I could only witness <br />
Throwing their branches up into the night sky<br />
Waving their many arms like the front row<br />
of the greatest rock and roll concert<br />
the world has ever known<br />
Screaming silently, I swear I heard them scream<br />
Take me<br />
Lift me up from my roots, tear me from this earth<br />
And let me fly away with you into the wild night.<br />
<br />
I thought I knew them<br />
But I know now they are crazier and braver and much, much smarter<br />
Than anything else out hereJohnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02724666608588750757noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26142433.post-91996749065646149972012-10-29T16:33:00.000-04:002012-10-29T16:33:21.523-04:00stormy mondayWhile the power's still on, I'm going to send out reports from the path of the hurricane.<br />
<br />
Spitfire and I are holed up in the mountain hideaway, Dingmans Ferry, PA, 41 degrees and 13 minutes north, 74 degrees and 52 minutes west on the old latitude/longitude grid. We're sixty-seven and a half miles northwest of Rat City, and those rats are swimming today.<br />
<br />
We've got a sustained wind speed of around 48 mph right now and lost our first tree about 45 minutes ago. I stepped out on the porch to get some more firewood, heard something coming from the left and looked up to see a sixty-foot maple coming down slow and gentle, whoomping softly to the earth, cradled by the top branches, the trunk never touching the ground. If it had been born eight feet closer to the house we'd have had some real damage. Another tree, a birch, I think, was in its path and the maple clipped the birch and brought it down too. The birch is now resting against the back of the house, I'm looking at the branches against the window. <br />
<br />
It's mostly just windy as hell, not a lot of rain yet. We're stockpiled with chili, baked chicken, shepherd's pie, firewood and that Russian-type whiskey the Russians drink, the wodka. Going to ride it out in the mountains tonight. Worst is supposed to be around midnight, crazy rain and stronger wind just blowing through the night.<br />
<br />
Almost certain to lose power at some point, it's all power lines running through the woods and more trees will fall before night does. Even if it doesn't take out our lines, they have to shut down parts of the system to repair one downed line, so the odds are not in our favor.<br />
<br />
And, needless to say, we're having the time of our lives.<br />
<br />
I'll check back in every couple of hours if I can.<br />
<br />
This is your on-the-scene meteorologist Scrappy Jack, reporting live from Dingbat's Junction, PA.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">"There is nothing imaginary, nothing symbolic about a line of flight. There is nothing more active than a line of flight, among animals or humans. Even History is forced to take that route rather than proceeding by "signifying breaks". What is escaping in a society at a given moment? It is on lines of flight that new weapons are invented, to be turned against the heavy arms of the State. "I may be running, but I'm looking for a gun as I go" (George Jackson). It was along lines of flight that nomads swept away everything in their path and found new weapons, leaving the Pharaoh thunderstruck. It is possible for a single group, or a single individual even, to exhibit all the lines we have been discussing simultaneously. <i>But it is most frequently the case that a single group or individual functions as a line of flight; that a group or individual creates the line rather than following it, is itself the living weapon it forges rather than stealing one.</i> Lines of flights are realities; they are very dangerous for societies, although they can get by without them, and sometimes manage to keep them to a minimum." </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I can pretty much guarantee you that you've never heard anything like this play. And Candice and the crew are people you really want to meet.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So let's pack their opening, give them a true Rat City welcome, buy them drinks afterwards and ask them to tell us some stories from the rowdy <a href="http://www.clancyproductions.blogspot.com/2012/05/fires-and-road.html">Road.</a></span><br />

Very radical and beautiful and might just pave a Road for all of us.Johnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02724666608588750757noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26142433.post-78260007342243087752012-08-02T10:42:00.000-04:002012-08-02T10:42:26.045-04:00random great idea<span style="font-size: large;">Somebody please steal this, but let me be involved in some way.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So I'm talking with Randi Berry of wreckio ensemble, Executive Director of the <a href="http://www.litfund.org/">LIT Fund</a>, just hanging in our fabulous donated office space at NYFA, right in the hipster, beautiful people heart of DUMBO and we're drinking the free coffee and being all cool and righteous because the Fund launched yesterday morning and it seems like we didn't forget anything major, things are launching, as they used to say down at NASA, and we start talking about wreckio's next project.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And Randi says something like, </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>"Well, we're supposed to be writing this new thing, but half of us have toddlers now and someone else just got pregnant and..."</i></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And it hits me like a brick tossed from the back of the crowd:</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Baby Theater.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">You see all these kick-ass women in New York theater who have to take a couple of years off to make sure the little one doesn't climb inside the oven or try to eat a steak knife. So, organize them and put on a production of King Lear or the Trojan Women or something where you don't have to pay royalties and cast the babies. It's OK if they can't really talk yet, because the mothers (and fathers if they want to play) do all of the smaller roles and maybe you create a narrator character who can keep the plot moving along. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">You do serious design, cool costumes and lighting and then you figure out how to incorporate their favorite toys so they stay interested. It would be cool if the lighting designer, set designer and running crew also had to be there with their kids.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">You rehearse it, not too long or they'll get bored, you perform it around 2 in the afternoon or whenever they're up from their naps and you pitch it to...right?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">You pitch it to all of the other mothers who want to do something but have to be with their kids. And you can have group crowd scenes, so if you show up with your kid, she gets to be onstage too.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Baby Theater. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Because the Play is the Thing. </span>Johnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02724666608588750757noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26142433.post-75116916874033718282012-07-31T08:23:00.001-04:002012-07-31T08:23:40.418-04:00here's the next big thing<a href="http://www.litfund.org/">Voila.</a><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Twenty bucks tonight for two tickets if you say "end of the world" at the door.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If you've been thinking of seeing the show, stop thinking and do it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If you were planning on coming the last night, half-thinking maybe it will be sold out and ah well, you tried, don't be that guy.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Come on down and give us a decent crowd for the critics. And my Mom.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Seriously, Mom and Dad are in the house tonight.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Don't make me look lame, guys.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">See you tonight at the Big Show.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Sixty five minutes, four Horsemen, lots of great songs and cheap wine and beer.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And those two lovely ladies.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Come on, man.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
