WINDOW PEEPING: A NYC STORY
A LAT Digital Space production for the series NYC STORIES: Not Your Classic Stories based on my post: A Collective Energy of Some Sort.
A LAT Digital Space production for the series NYC STORIES: Not Your Classic Stories. Story about voyeurism, exhibitionism, self-confidence and a collective energy of some sort.
ABOUT THE FORMAT
Although this series was originally proposed as a collection of Short-One-Act Virtual Theater Plays for LAT Digital Space, I thought I better follow the ideas wherever they want to take me. Perhaps they will end-up as short videos, cross-disciplinary collection of works or - as they were originally intended - short virtual theater productions.

I believe that because of how this particular story relates to my need of creating The Absolute Creative Space, this will be most likely the first NYC Story in the series. All the triggers and thoughts I’ve been exploring lately in my Creative Energy Workouts are somehow linked to this project.

A lot has changed since the events that inspired the “Window Peeping” story took place. The Internet wasn’t around so the current venues for exhibitionism were not available just yet. I was thinking about the differences between letting someone in your world through a computer or phone camera and just opening the drapes in your apartment. Obviously, unless you limit your audience by going into a private chat room or connecting directly with someone, anonymity plays a big part in this. I was also thinking about the time when “live cams” came around - the kind when someone just had cameras on in their house all they long and you could just tuned in an watch them go about their lives. These were a one-way stream so, in my opinion, closer to the idea I’m exploring in Window Peeping where the person is not necessarily “putting on a show” but “sort of” living his/her life and just letting others “peep in”.

Since I no longer live in NYC, in order to convey the city’s inspiring energy, I first must explore the particular “energy” for each proposed story and to do so, I probably will end-up creating a series of sub-projects “triggered” by the original musing energy.
CALL FOR COLLABORATION
At the moment I’m looking for actors to collaborate virtually in this project. You can either participate as an actor in a existent story or bring your own story (for stories requirements please contact me directly). If you are not an actor but would like to collaborate with the project, please contact me.
There is no charge or pay to participate in this project. If there was money to be made from livestream performances’ tickets sales or on-demand charges, the profits will be distribute equally among the cast of each show. For more information about the business side of this proposal, please contact me.

Dissenting Scent
The dancer’s intoxicating scent awakened my most primordial instincts evoking a Sensory-Somatic connection between us.
When your work as an artist is mostly inspired by your Sensory-Somatic System, having highly developed senses comes to a great advantage. From all the senses, the vomeronasal sense is perhaps the most acute and influential of all my senses. Even when surrounded by the breathtaking visuals of the fall transition into winter at the mountains, it was the sultriness of the soil and the scent of the stillness of the menacing snow what evoked the deepest of my sensory-somatic memories.
During an exploratory trip to New York City in the spring of 2013, I attended a physical theater performance at La MaMa’s main stage. Unfortunately, I don’t recall the company's nor the production’s name but, I remember the driving force of the show: a man’s fight to overcome a gender identity struggle.
The audience was sitting on chairs along the two long sides of the stage at the same level of the performers. The show was engaging and the performers powerful and inspiring. It was half way into the show when I experienced what I would call a “total immersion”, a "sensory-somatic connection” with the lead performer at levels far beyond the performers' intentions.
As the lead male performer/dancer eloquently expressed his character’s torment with a series of very physical and explosive dances, he began to sweat profusely, saturating the theater with his intoxicating scent. Every time he ran past me, his penetrating scent awakened my most "primordial instincts" which allowed me to feel his pain, taste the sweat streaming down his face and body and, smell the fear emanating from his groin, armpits and body hair.
After regaining “consciousness", trying to collect my “thoughts”, I reflected on both the theatrical reality we were being presented with and, the show’s proposal … is there such a thing as a “masculine” scent? Could any “rational” inference we the audience could reach from the show’s proposal possibly defy the bold statement being made by this male actor’s powerful dissenting scent?
