creative energy workouts
Creative Energy Workouts are sensory-somatic explorations of a “sensory trigger” with the purpose of awakening the sexual energy and transmuting it into creative energy. The trigger might be a thought, a feeling, a scent, an image or anything that sparks the energy or simply “triggers” our “itch” to explore. Although the objective of these workouts is not to create but to “train the body to awaken and transmute the sexual energy”, there are times when the creative process is complete and the experience is recorded in some form of creative work.
Following the flow of the energy is essential to the creative process. I have found trough my personal work that forcing the energy into a preconceived path or workflow only leads to blockage of its free flow and that of the creative process.

revisiting the idea of the human-wolf
Revisiting the original Rainbows at Sunset … I remembered the idea behind the story - a photograph in the play - about the human-wolf. At that time … I tried to put into words a feeling that … in all honesty … I had not felt, an experience I had not had so … instead of writing from my “entrails”, I pretty much just “fantasied” about this - what I now know to be - an energy transmutation process.
Today, I understand that this human-wolf is not other than the embodiment of my unrestrained creative energy and that my “transformation” into this beautiful creature has always been both my inspiration and purpose as an artist.

Rainbows at Sunset - a new dream
rainbows at sunset - a new dream
Last night I had a dream about Rainbows at Sunset. In this dream … the character of the “colorful punk girl” was played by a younger … or rather … ageless version of myself. I remember thinking … how was I ever so blind to not see that this was always the case? Even though at the time, I did write this character for an actress friend and … it was inspired by a real-life girl … they were always the “hosts” of my “unrestrained” creative energy and, the character of the artist was a personification of my own struggle trying to prevent this energy from burst into the world.
