A quick fix

So I've found the quick way to get incredibly comfortable with ones body. Communal shows! So I've taken up trying to work out regularly and I've got a couple friends who are doing it with me, which as you know having a support team really helps get the job done. Well we have been working out at CMU's pool and showering together afterwards. Well these ladies like to strip down as soon as clothing becomes optional. Tell you what, when your around women that don't give a damn it kind of rubs off on you. And oddly enough it doesn't seem to bother me when I find Eve greatly staring at my stomach, but I cut her off when she start poking my nipple and saying it's so pink. These ladies are so nice, and I feel so free around them.

My Disabled Theatre

So after this semester at school I've found that I don't really like designing costumes for bodies that people would call able. Rather I like designing costume for disabled bodies. They are really more interesting. And forever changing. I realized that dealing with the actors in my last show I had a problem rapping my head around the problems the actors were having with what they were wearing. It's a damn jean jacket, what about it is so uncomfortable? Sorry, for a person who feels she is sensitive to the needs of her actors, apparently that only applies to "real problems" not the hyper active sensitivity that says they have some kind of psychological problem that we encourage and goes un diagnosed. I'm ok with with people who have head injuries, psychological disorder (that have been diagnosed) and general craziness that comes with theatre.  

Real Problems:
Missing limbs
Parkinson
Polio
sever depression
spina bifida
MS
CP
SF
Spinal cord injuries
Traumatic Head injuries
Blindness
Hearing impaired

Not Real Problems
Fat rolls the size of my pink toe
small ripples in fabric
I could go on, but it could become rude

So because of this I am in a great search. A great search of a Disabled theatre company. Mind you have have been working with one for the past 7 years, fairly professional, but not a full time gig. There are many dance groups in the US, many groups just working with the deaf actors. Very few and fare between that work with any disability, I have found two places that have an education for disabled actors. But nothing is coming back with much of a design for disabilities. So here I go the new frontier?

Almost Aug Again

Well it is almost that time of year again, that time of year that was my last blog on oh, so many months. So here it is the first blog of 2009. Although I don't know if anyone actually pays any attention to this. Really I still think it is the oddest thought, to have thoughts, just for anyone to look at, and expect people to look at them. What happen to just complaining to your closes girl friend. Is this really the release of the subconscious in a health manner? What in the long run will be the reverberation from all this "blogging"? Will we some how lose the ability to share with others in person, or no longer care to hear about it in person. Will the world be so flooded with personal thought and information that some how saving the important stuff or even finding it will be impossible. But what can you do. I'm gonna blog and see what I attract.
