While reading a recent New Yorker, I noted that playwright/director Richard Foreman and his Ontological-Hysteric Theater established a permanent home at St. Mark's Church, New York City in 1992. A fascinating feature of Foreman's Web site is that he offers unedited dialogue streams from his daily writing practice, free for inclusion in other's presentations.
I always get him mixed up with Robert Wilson, another avant-garde playwright, who has collaborated with Philip Glass. Filed with fascination in the back of my mind: that Wilson has manifested the gesammtkunstwerk visioned by Scriabin, the total spectacle; some three-day extravaganza on the side of a mountain; reminding me, too, of the original gamelan-orchestra experience in the Balinese woods, musicians sitting among lightly green trees, shadow puppets acting out the culture's sacred text by firelight, all night long. I only read about these things, but they strike lasting chords ... Sometimes I ask, "Why them and not me?" Note: Imported from Websafe Studio blog (07-15-03 to 02-01-06).
