yep... How often do we have an opportunity to open and /or corrupt the minds of a classroom of southern Baptists?

Re: My lecture (Ruth Spivak) II
[Ruth Spivak wrote:]
I envy you for that one!

yes, Ruth, today's class was extremely amazing on many levels. Shannon is a great teacher and host. She had prepared the students so their questions were deep and complex, coming to my work from wherever their individual passions were... Politics, Justice, intimacy, music, playing, etc... But getting my work. And the skype video online phone created a two-way intimacy. It is like being in a cave together, seeing and hearing one another. Just that opens both a new dimension /medium for performance and a new type of performance... Without space that you need to travel through to get to the performance... True, there is no physical touch between physical bodies. But there may be ways to get around this. One student said she was interested in doing a private performance with me in this way, and there was talk of doing a three hour performance with me here and them there in North Carolina in their theater. This opens a lot up!

Re: an interview from the past! (Annie Sprinkle)
Ahh, memories. Or should I say mammaries?
Yes, Frank and Linda took NYC by storm.
One correction, Karen was already very well known before I got into doing performance art.
YOU (Frank and Linda) and company would stay in my manhattan apartment when in town. That was fun.
Maybe you can one day post the photos and interview I did of you for some sex magazine. I think it was ADAM mag.
Mondo New York was a fun film.
KEEP IT UP.
Annie
PS-- Beth and I will move back to San Francisco in July, which will be nice. Would love to get to one of your performances soon. I could use a hit.
* * * * *
ah yes, Annie! Memories [of your mammaries!]! Karen was known in the art world then. We had known her a couple years. It turned out that she had come to the Outrageous beauty revue when she was a stripper in the late seventies.
Linda searched our archives for that Adam interview but could not find it, which is strange because we kept everything since the mid seventies. Then I remembered that was the period when Debbie was stealing my stuff. So do you have a copy? I know that is a long shot because of your houseboat fire... But...

i'm flattered!
Corey called the Berkeley Daily Planet about the fact that they had not listed the Temescal performance in this week's issue. Under March 21st, there was no heading for Theater, as if there were no Theater events that day. Last month, they had listed us for two straight weeks, because the calendar spanned that much time. We had been listed as Theater. Corey told all this to the woman who picked up when he pushed the line for the Arts & Entertainment calendar. Her first response was maybe they just didn't get the listing ... Corey said, "Oh ..." and started looking for the email he had sent them, but then she asked, "What was it?" Corey told her that it was called "Reality Playings", a performance by Frank Moore ... She said, "Oh ... well, you know, we get a lot of complaints about Frank Moore ..." They had chosen not to list the performance. Corey asked if they got complaints about simply listing Frank's performances? "Yes. Its not exactly 'family fare' ... Frank does have his detractors ..." Corey asked if they only listed calendar events that were "family fare"? She said, "Well no ..." She said that they edit the calendar, its not an open thing, they have the right to decide what they want and don't want to include ... they don't always list everything they get, don't always list things every time ... She said that "adults only" listings were less likely to be listed, and that they often recommended that people just buy an ad.

Re: an interview from the past!
Frank,
Thank you for this, and the time you put into this, and the discussion coming this Monday! I was just talking about you to a filmmaker at the Co-op here locally, and saying how much I enjoy talking to you, and incorporating what you do into the curriculum of my class. I think that shamanistic work if missing in my students' lives, as well as art that provokes shifts within and with perspective about performance, different kinds of bodies, and radical modes of thought/being/Living! They will have read the Schechner on shamanistic ritual, as well as your Eroplay. I will also show them a couple of clips Friday and distill parts of this interview for my lecture.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! again.

Re: My lecture
Frank,
Glad you liked it. It was fun to write, and talk about you in class. The students are curious about your work/you and excited (and maybe a little scared!:) Luckily I can connect with just about anyone, so I think my lecture was a good set up...also appealing to the prediction that many of them are Christian and conservative--I talked about how "spirited" you are and joyful--which is True! I really like the idea of different ideologies crossing paths. I believe it is the only way to make change in this world--allowing for those with differing thoughts/beliefs to try and understand one another.
If anything, I predict that meeting you will be one of the most unique experiences the students will have this year, possibly their whole time at UNC-CH. So cool. I look forward to it.
