the bare character studies virtual reboot
A while back in NYC, I started a project I called The Bare Character Studies videos. After several sessions of training on the Sensory-Somatic approach to acting and an introduction to The Bare Character concept, a group of actors experimented with the connection between their instinctual impulses and their rational approach to acting.
I will now revisit this experiment virtually on the Luciani’s Absolute Theater Digital Space.

the energetic aspect of the virtual creative space
The technological aspect of creating a Virtual Creative Space - finding the right tools to not only setup the physical space but also be able to virtually connect with our audience - is very important but, it is the Energetic Aspect of conceiving the space what will determine how successful we'll be at creating and establishing a connection not only with the audience but with ourselves.

you had to be there
Working on DIS-SCENT, the first of my NYC STORIES … I was reminded of the difference between “devising” a story using the Sensory-Somatic Approach and just “writing” it using a more conventional mind-oriented method. I believe that unless you write the story based on your “Sensory-Somatic Memories” of the events - rather than your brain recollections of them - you risk having to say “You Had To Be There”.

While the story itself - real or fabricated - might be very interesting, it’s still the writer’s own experience … one that might or might not be shared with others. Recreating the “energy of the moment” based on our sensory-somatic-memories helps creating “points of connection” with the audience and giving them the illusion that “they were there”.
this is not a portfolio but a blank canvas
Today … I reminded myself that this website is not a portfolio of past work but a blank canvas for new work instead. Rather than using old photos in posts and other pages - with the exception of the photography portfolios - I will shoot new works for them. I’m already linking all my work on different disciplines to whatever projects I’m working on at the moment so, I will use the images from those projects on the entire website to tie it all up visually.

the streets where I walk on
There is nothing like a little “collective energy” to recharge your creativity. I’m very excited about “The Streets Where I Walk on” a virtual street photography workshop which I hope will inspire my fellow artists. To my photographers and photography-lovers friends out there … this world needs you.
