Which brings us up to 9 of the 10 plays that I am planning on for this project. The Hermit Again, I would love to get feedback on any or all of these plays. All of them have room for revisions and some of them may need significant rewriting, so your thoughts would be extremely …
I have, occasionally, really wanted to be a choreographer. Of course, I have no dance training so that kind of keeps me from pursuing that desire. This next contribution to my 10 10 Minute play series is entitled “Text for 2 Dancers” and is precisely that. Not so much a play, “Text” is meant to …
As promised, a comedy. Of sorts. At least I find it amusing. Special thanks to EscapePod.org for publishing a great series of superhero stories (of course thanks to Jeffrey R. Derego for writing them!) and providing me the inspiration to find a way to work tyromancy and sycomancy into a play. Without further ado: Team: …
So, in my latest ten minute play, I am referencing a type of fortune telling that uses figs. Yes, figs. It’s called sycomancy and I was wondering what the preface “syc” meant since “sychophant” seemed to have nothing to do with figs. Goes to show you what I know: sycophant 1537 (in L. form sycophanta), …
Not exactly what you would call “comedies,” these are both pretty bleak plays. As with most of these play, a great deal of the theatricality is outside of the words and “story.” Instead, actions in the physical space of the play are called for to complete the text. I feel that I write my play …
So I mentioned before that my essay on the Living Theatre’s 2007 production of The Brig was to be published in PAJ: A Journal of Performance and Art. Yesterday, I received my copy and it was rather cool to see myself listed in the contents: What I did not expect, however, was that I was …
Hey y’all – the latest play in my series of 10 10 Minute plays is done, at least in first draft form. That makes four. But for this one I need to create some film footage as an integral part of the play. Preferably super-8 mm transferred to digital and then manipulated on a computer. …
A new play and edits to two others. These are part of my “10 10 Minute Plays” project that I am in the midst of (currently just wrote 3 pages of play number four, tentatively titled “The Giant’s Head). One of the points to these plays is to write highly imaginative plays requiring a great …
A toast to me for finishing my 8530 word short story “Subway Voices.” Well, the first draft at least, it’ll need to go through several more drafts before getting close to publishable, but still . . . yay me for finishing my first short story in a bunchload of years. It’s a horror piece, and …
Been working on a new short story, working title “Subway Voices.” Am at slightly over 5000 words and probably have about 5000 more to go for the scope that I’m planning. I’m not ready to share it yet, but I am feeling good about getting back into the swing of fiction writing.
