in a post-show haze of longing, sadness, weariness, exhaustion, exhilaration, and wonder. the funny thing about performance art is the ephemerality of it–once it’s over, i often wonder whether it was a dream. i miss it. i yearn for it. i can’t believe that it can’t happen more often. this show in particular. i just want to be held, every minute of every day since it opened. and i managed to get a lot of that while it was going on, but now that it’s over, life must eventually go back to it’s regular grind. and here i am. exhausted. dreading a 7 hour shift at work tonight, and another one tomorrow. and the next day. wondering aloud how i can ditch my day jobs and just, really, truly, devote all of my time and energy to making art.
this is the new goal. i believe it can happen.
thank you to everyone who came and received Seducing Those Who Are Afraid with open arms. it was absolutely my pleasure to share it with you. and thank you to all the amazing, lovely, wonderful people who helped make it happen, both along the way and on the stage. i am surrounded by incredible geniuses.
