 This page is the informal log of my transiency process, in reverse chronological order.

+Every year around this time our old cherry starts blossoming. I can' resist sitting under it and reading trough A.Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard.

+"Perhaps man has a hundred senses, and when he dies the five senses that we know perish with him, and the other ninety-five remain alive... Everything that is unattainable for us now will one day be near and clear..."
+"All you ancestors were serf owners, owners of living souls. Do not human spirits look out at you from every leaf and stem?"
+“Going to see plays isn't what you people should do. Try looking at yourselves a little more often and see what gray lives you all lead. How much of what you say is unnecessary.”
+“But if we reason it out simply and not try to be one bit fancy, then what sort of pride can you possibly take or what's the sense of ever having it, if man is poorly put together as a physiological type and if the enormous majority of the human race is brutal, stupid, and profoundly unhappy?”
+“I know exactly the potential of the people around here. They have the potential to lie. They have the potential to deceive. They have the potential to inveigle. They’ll change nothing. Sometimes, when I can’t sleep, I lie awake thinking, my God! We have so much. We have these huge forests. We have boundless open fields. We can see the deepest, furthest horizons. Look around you. Look. We should be giants. We really, really aren’t.”
+“A hungry dog believes in nothing but meat.”

+Working with Eisa on Host again.Such a complex piece to perform. It seems the build up of this work will never end. There is always new details, aspects of performing coming up. As much as i like working with movement and narratives on stage as much i dislike dealing with incompetence of technical team. Can't understand why can't they enjoy of creating something beautiful together with us. Instead there is always resistance, negotiations about things that can be fixed so easy yet you have to fight for it... The top of this time :"No the white beach chairs are not ok for this setting"....

+Your great mistake is to act the drama
+as if you were alone. As if life
+were a progressive and cunning crime
+with no witness to the tiny hidden
+transgressions. To feel abandoned is to deny
+the intimacy of your surroundings. Surely,
+even you, at times, have felt the grand array;
+the swelling presence, and the chorus, crowding
+out your solo voice You must note
+the way the soap dish enables you,
+or the window latch grants you freedom.
+Alertness is the hidden discipline of familiarity.
+The stairs are your mentor of things
+to come, the doors have always been there
+to frighten you and invite you,
+and the tiny speaker in the phone
+is your dream-ladder to divinity.
+Put down the weight of your aloneness and ease into
+the conversation. The kettle is singing
+even as it pours you a drink, the cooking pots
+have left their arrogant aloofness and
+seen the good in you at last. All the birds
+and creatures of the world are unutterably
+themselves. Everything is waiting for you.

+An emotional week. Painting the colours in the room of my son into the the plane white walls. It started as a very practical thing to do but with every stroke of brush it became a sort of ritual of saying goodbye to the childhood of the boy.

+This week made me understand how much i dislike organising multiple events at the same time.At the moment it's annoying to read and respond to so many emails concerning matters that has nothing to do with each other. I unconsciously avoiding emailing...On the other hand i enjoy so much on concentrating on a few activities. This week i gave two workshops for two classes. Very different yet so much reward when kids leave the space with dirty hands but inspired and smiling.
