MAGNETOSPHERE 12/22/05 PAX ROMANO

The Magnet theater is one of many developmental theaters in NYC. Magnetosphere is one tool used for developing abilities of performers. Students are grouped into teams; the teams perform montage scenes, a scene in one location, a Harold (a form developed in Chicago), and freeze tag. My commentary on the evening: Is not knowing, a road to bliss? Or, is knowing, realizing and attaining, the bliss? The spark of mental resonance we aspire toward is like a light twinkling in the distance, beckoning seductively. Creative presentation is the mirror of our being. Working, eating, procreating, promagnam existance -- If this is all there is, can the being in this caccoon of life be as happy as can be, or is the caccoon a prision? Does liberating the mind liberate the soul? Does realization of knowledge and truth make us more complete? I and we could have chosen to sit and be entertained. I and we could be dulling our mind with beer, alcohol, and drugs. If you are reading this, you have chosen a different path: One of mind realization and exploration, using the tool we know as Improv. Some quotes from the performance: "I can't be in a car where I can't respect the person I'm with." "You don't even want me to be happy." "You're going to walk out of this room looking fierce." "You're like a work of art to me." "I'm the one paying for it." "What has college done to you, always problemitizing." "See these dailies, they're disgusting, I'm going to have to fire you." "I am breezing through this situation." "You can always make me laugh." "I have tongs in my hands." "The cap's still on it bozo." "You didn't call, so I got married." "Here are your peppers, so you can loose weight." "I'm the fuck out of here." I would like to add one more thing: Lucia Aniello plays with a wonderful emotional edge.

AMPERS&ND 12/11/05

From the depths of conscious being ... formalgahyde of our souls -- is that it? -- I really don't know. Cadance, beat, mind, molecule connections ... chains of reality link together fascinated by myriad possibilities. Permutations and salutations, fascinations and deviations --- moving fast and procrastinations... Beat, beat, beat, keep the beat --- miss it and beat off --- scene dead. Dead like a missive floating featherbed soft in a dreamscape of illusion: Illusion designed as mirror to truth. Truth, truth, truth --- essential in life, in relationships, in improv. Deviate from universal ethos of thuth and loose: Loose in life, loose in relationships, loose in improv. Fascination, focus, interest, humor, all come from observable truth. Illusion of reality touches inner essence of ourselves. And, illusion of reality was a paramount essential in their Sunday night performance --- Diana D, and John F: ignited our imaginations with multi fascited, multi accented, multi, multi, multi, characters: Fun to watch and meld with as the aura of their performance enveloped our audiance. Ampers&nd sated my entertainment desire.
