Rise of the Machines!!!

A very well put together video on the Web 2.0 issue. Personally, I can't wait to welcome the new species of machines that will one day become our benevolent masters and make us stop being so stupid to each other . . (hey, it's good to start buttering up to them now).

The West Coast Premier of "tempOdyssey" by Dan Dietz ...

...with yours truly! I just got cast in this trippy play of astrophysics, office temps, and chicken choking to be performed at one the best fringe venues in Seattle - Theater Schmeater!

One of the side notes that came up in discussion during our first night of rehearsal is; how can one of the characters really smoke a cigarette onstage with Wash. state law banning it?
For a interesting article about what happened the last time this play went up, go to the Denver Post.

Clip Happy

Yeah so I finally got everything squared away to start using the YouTube and "the Google." Here's a clip I just made from the 2006 GreenStage production of Henry the Sixth. Enjoy. Choreography by yours truly.

A Little Axe Action

Here's an old clip from a GreenStage production of "Troilus and Cressida." Choreography by yours truly.

Book Review - "WEAPON"

"Weapon, A visual history of arms and armor" by DK Publishing is one of the prettiest coffee-table books I've had. Besides the detailed pics for the browser-reader of arms and armor throughout recorded history, the researcher and publishers of this hefty book have included some of the more obscure developments that have come out of man's imagination for killing each other. My personal favs fall in the incorporation of traditional axes, swords, and halberds with the early infancy of firearms. How would you like to go up against a c.1610 German wielding a 6 1/2 pound "Ax Match-and-Wheelock" with five barrels hidden in the head and a sixth in the shaft. Those kooky Germans.
