I performed at Planet queer last night, or the other night, and it was really fun to be back on stage without the pressure of a giant show and just telling a fun little story. (I did go over my time limit which I kind of felt bad about but you know win some you lose some.) I also did a wee bit of magic! A simple circle of new ideas, new inventions! A pre-Equinox.. give ’em some healing and harmony kind of stuff. Anyway it was nice to be on stage and it was really sweet, Mark, my producer, was like we need to do more on stage… you really sparkle in front of an audience! I’ve never really thought of myself as a penny player, I don’t really like Penny players, but maybe I am a bit of one? I do like to see the sparkle in their eyes…. Storytelling is fundamentally about communing with people right? It is about maybe around the campfire or something telling a story to a group of people which is the magic of Storytelling at its base, it’s influence, it’s inspiration! But at the same time I’m really loving doing my new podcast video cast whatever the hell it’s called. I enjoy coming up with them. I enjoy seeing how interesting I can make them visually. I enjoy being a goof or goofy LOL I really enjoy doing a little magic that go with the stories. I don’t know how people are receiving them… I mean my immediate friends of course love them, but I don’t know what that means in the long run. I’m just going to keep going and keep doing it and having a lot of fun. I do think I want to incorporate more live shows… I just don’t know how to do that without having to produce a lot of Theater which is freaking exhausting and we know why I don’t produce so much theater anymore because it’s exhausting. I save it for the big things. I wonder if there’s a way to make recorded monologues as interesting as they are when you’re live. I mean you know how to read an audience and take that time… I’d like to think that I do that in the videos, but they’re also videos and their sound edited and they’re you know cut… it’s different. When you’re sort of slowly in the room with someone piecing something together…. Maybe I should go back and forth with a little of both and see what happens? It’s new. It’s a new genre for me. It’s a new exploration. It’s a new thing. I may have acted a ton on camera and stage but this is different. This is storytelling, the Fine Art not just like stand up. So yeah I’m going to just keep going forward and hopefully as the Equinox approaches I can find Harmony and balance with it! How’s that for a call back!
