Dialogue Harvestibule
Even though performance, as an archive (locally documented), Dialogue Harvestibule linked here houses my lack of episodic memory,
presence and follow through of clown,
classically rehearsed monologues (dialogues)
and informed forum improvisational direct address
As always,
being eclectic,
the subject matter is varied and is best not being permanent, audience and conversation dependent; During Dialogue Harvestibule the artist might differ in view scope or understanding; be more or less of a person at every definition 2024
Over the course of 2014 - as every minute of stage time needs at minimum an hour of rehearsal, this took a year of solid effort and went really well ; bit unfulfilled after
scabovered myself
And 'I' did fail to be a theatre as an individual.
It was too quick a departure if I had stayed or someone, late v shook me back before inside and hide swell to cope; hopeless, unworthy, apathy over ethical humility and situational military industrial complex/conflict guilt departed into a cared full abyss relationship, substance abuse cycle and lasting stigma like harm reduction , 'never use alone', decriminilazation, clinical oversights and trials ; first time I'm getting that hey you feeling and I agree this is a bit about lacko tele n' mead STUNTS

New(qua)Sea[sic]Rebellion
Current (in the capacity) ebb/flow from to from [non standard] Rebellion
A parodic proclamation of the recurrences of emblems, motifs & my 'performance art' style paired with condensed critical awareness that recurs and contrasts in the continuation of my 'philosophy of theatre'
A degree, a Pathos and a Decade to write one page!
How will this performance be received and accessible to both art/Art ?
Yes, anyone can do it and it doesn't take years of effort or steady matter...
As always the performer is not the arbiter of meaning or reception but my recurring choices - chairs, hangers, personal content- can be likened to Salvador Dali's melting clocks, [ee cummings] lowercase, or Charlie Chaplin's hat and sheep bladders!
Ambiguous, Specific, Practical, Ethical, Praxis and Curerated
Perhaps the archive of New(qua)sea[sic]rebellion works more to my cause without a rehearsed text...
With homage to where I rehearsed - outside and then reimagined -subject to the 'on site' space/place/audience an ode to performed this piece more than twice and have the public at large disrupt it quite simply ; )
Thankfully filmed by someone on site, felt like 1935, yet was around 2016-2017
A couple years after the birth, adoption and semblance of my son to family
In recovery and a bit too excited when social, I was great before the performance, yet was so personally shamed, embarrassed anxious and vulnerable I made an ass of myself trying to party after; my apologies
I've never found out who else was situationally in the video let me know if you find yourself
Neo - closer to the Matrix and Keanu Reeves to me - just means 'new.'
The times weren't as volatile and it would have been great if I was a different diversity or gender
Please take a moment to revaluate love, sharing and how serious I'd have to be with this performance to form a synthesis of the underappreciated dichotomy of Empirical / Analytic and elaborate on the 'philosophy of poetry performance and theatre'
"My bias favours sense knowledge and nothing existing in isolation, if nothing exists in isolation it must be considerate of others and perception; observation should never be considered objective and as always has an effect"
Medium(s), Being, Quality and Others are like that
Privilege has always been Responsibility to me
Compare and contrast 'sensing' the video (are you Bnd, Deaf, or of a Langue other than English) what changes or is lost in translation?
Nowadays I'd edit reimagine or change bater trade yet also contend with now after-acts:
1. My gestus at the spoke phrase, 'now established power'
2. The phrase 'read the maps; burn the routes'
3. Over all moved even more sustained
4. Bowed more & express my graditude; also with [ after plan-virgo-from:she] mend modal
5.Omitted 'neo-liberal, oligarchic, corporate private agencies of course' because these terms are too expansive, unstable and po-lit-is-ized
6. I'm very critical of the tactics of nationalism, fascism, and radicalization.
Personally my oratory from places 'ephemeral' love, knowledge and reasonable tactful oratory
Language had to contend with much being
I. I'd work to not end any movement, category, or philosophy with the suffix 'ism' or 'ist'
II. It would be a lot more fun if New[qua]sea[sic] was with a theatre company- the best I could do individually - and juxtaposed like a diagonal cross 'she' made; total head of something in a momentary

Improvisation on Acting

2023,
still brain injured ,
a few more agrevated wounds,
the whole "should be in Toronto / (live this way) theory"
smoke reduction,
chron doubt,
many gym repeats,
ate well when I did; hadn't been struck by some form of lightning yet
Like Richard Maxwell meets Bert O States in a large room to b*(!)t^h about Aphera
Moderation, go to bed, meno'pause sunsetting and lucid sobering
An 'inpromtu' praxis seminar on Acting
Bush shrubs n' vine eventually costume
Lighting and the seeming eternal provided

Posted Below , For the people of the Theatre and also a brief enjoyment of a paragraph or two with sustained close readings: my attempt at writing a total theatre text starting with...
2022's
"a play upon unknown; like accents during underwater exploration sets in an attainable future... yet you'd be surprised it still feels like Petrolia"
2087 : [2 (…)*&]
scoundrel, inappropriate, self destructive, unincluded, typed demise, vulgar, worrisome world ending, expropriated, deleted, numb thinking only one thing might be worth it, unknown affects and consequence, stubborn in shame to wander into snip bits and fail to throw sunglasses and a coat to where its well intended less whole now than the shambles before; at genuine a warm kind front to fail at wants and needs

Dawn Of A.B.I or Convalescence
A.B.I (acquired brain injury)
Convalescence (recovery from ailment)
Is a play I started in 2012 and revisited: 2018/2023. Now 2026 I write a spontaneous tid bit.
Started without the language or understanding of the completely new and different person i was/am. What is brain injury you'll see it in me. Frontal lobe and temporal lobe on the right side. Always putting up a front to not admit my weeping and good time reckless behaviour into the calm idea of pharmasuticals solving everything. It's a lot more physical.
Cancer can heal, mental health terms and clusters of symptoms are a life sentence.
I wish I remained just Brain Injured and never became Undifferentiated Schizophrenic put on Anti-phycotics which never really had a lasting positive effect besides a woozy sedation, bone spurs, monthly muscle injuries (a big needle), discardia or whatever the involuntary movements were called, and the plastic phosporus and citric acid really did build up on my receptors.
I'm clearly antitropic medication resistant since never before did I ideate suicide so regularly.
A blunt affect and calus behaviours that are unforgivable oblivious and well aware how much to seem so unaffected.
Those medications tho 15% of those on these medications die by their own hand. Lots more have more violent outbursts after the medications. I couldn't do it and they made me needle friendly.
2014-2015-2019 was impulsive and neglectful. Horrible glimmer years for me and it got mismashed into the play. My injury was in 2011 on Canada Day
Everyone in my life and into being is and are great and i'm thankful grateful everyday, not many these days 🙂 as in close and few maybe one last branch a new
I don't want the bad issues i'm living with and coping healthier still to be the focus
It helps if you don't know me sorry for being personal
If I give it a rewrite I'd omit my drug use because abuse doesn't get grants or funding; Caryl Churchill or was it Sarah Kane knows.
I caused a lot of worry and pain and did many unexpected things out of character
especially not having the energy to put in the effort that was needed
the worst is me alone with my phone thinking i'm connecting and something like this is suppose to instil confidence
Before I was brain injured i drank and smoked and did recreational drugs , then slowed down and stopped , then the pharmasuticals happened to me, then I tried to self medicate. Then pot was legalized. A familiar unfamiliar world. I sorta just dont even want this text to exist.
Every character but Gabe is great.
By now had I died... I don't want to live it again. Part of me stayed dead and I wouldn't wish my lucky life on anyone.
Brutus and wonton being
Think of what it was like during covid apply that much time to life and then grow out of places to meet people and work on something together. Your yearning to connect and belong becomes a freaky story and as a disabled person i'm forever disabled
P.s Anyone else see David E. Freeman at the theatre? I read Creeps but haven't watched the play yet
anyways this is a story I might speak over a year what seems like a dash.
Now neuroscience is trendy
As is with dramatic text not entirely meant to be typed (irony) or written (irony) or even read (irony) as dramatic text as such is supposed to be performed, performed in some way shape or form and this metaforeword..
drifts off
as the Play is posted below there are quoted extentions of Tristian Tzara's play The Gas Heart Within and I reference a person or few
I'd hope that Gabe could be replaced each and every performance by another story from another brain injury survivor. I'd love to work on a play for each and every Brain injured person that wants to share what they do and went through I might even change some outcomes for gabe as a form of dramatic therapy
When it came down to it fatigue, lapses in executive functioning lack of organization, routine, a flat affect, some stasis if I don't stay active, a bit of a delay on my right side, headrushes, brain fog, lack of episodic short term memory, tinnitus, irritablility, nerve damage, pain, emotional problems, unexpected responses and yah the schizophrenia gets medicated and me thinking the prick was the answer to stammering shy loner loser lonely muteness nerd i'd call the self.
It's rude insulting and embarasing how bad I let it get to loose it all.
Eric Foreman wanted to keep the memory of Donna not the role that skews a career to myopia
both my bark and bite no matter how lagging are a bit gnarly
genuine sincere and for the most part predictable i've been a good kind person the whole way
onward my lack of initiation

IZ DIS ABSURD
Contending within Irish (without meaning, automaton, playwrighting) , Italian (zany, situational) and French (meaningless fastidious anomalies to care so little in matter) forms of the absurd
2013-2022
A play to be, like an index and an organ doner awakening

Slack Hearth Tide
Written revisited: 2011-2013-2020
A one act play, juxtaposing Gertrude Stein, Post Colonial theory and Alexander Dumas' Camille. A lofty dreamer contending with ideology , seeming and being.
How personal anecdote, grounds, seeming non sequiturs and a dreamscape allow hierarchies of needs to be addressed, ambiguous and lyrical.
Spoken word, formal(ism), and 'matrixed' movement based choral elements make Slack Hearth Tide a phenomenal starting piece for an abstract theatre collective

Tide Roc Turf
Tide Roc Turf
2024's Rocabilly musical about an ethically charged double slot car race wave machine, trauma and self soothing together like part of you is stuck in the storm of 1913
"sure to put the shrieks in the freaks of the seats"
II ABJECTx
2025
II Abject is me being mad at the book We Breed Lions . II Abject is half baked, with errors/omissions and a one act; the piece also has residue of a play I watched at Ottawa fringe last year

CAMP CAMP
2015
Please don’t racialize the play because every character is closer to cherry picking and (i dig this as part of myself) appropriation than anything else. It’s Campy about things one should never really be campy about. How odd would it be for a Brazilian meat company to open in the wilderness of Canada much like how foreign outsourcing of unsustainable farm practices must seem alien to beef. I wrote it when living in a small city where casting might not have been able to accomodate diversity. I remember I might have had an edit where I had the cast where t-shirts with an appropriated title written on to specify possible ethnicities. Over the course of its process I made some key edits i’d like to note (the arrow head is a computer chip, Janet thought will was John, and it’s innuit snow goggles ITS PRONOUNCED GEE AL OR GUI OR GUY I was lazy and didn’t change it sorry for the confusion i put it in there as a test to weed out the southparkers like by the time you see what GEE is of there is no way he would be that character my apologies) I don’t know if there are playrights out there who wept for their characters but it wasn’t without a toll. Surprise it’s a musical ! I left a copy in the woods once and another in Montreal I wonder what happened to them. It’s so personal it might be universal
Service Racecar
2008 – 2010
My first attempt at writing a play. I’d like the characters to all be in animal costumes almost like street sharks or like animal hoodies. I choose tragedy and was never really sure if it was a play or a poem or… Almost like watching Titus Andronicus and being like wait that’s Bill. Save the lexicon hundreds of years always end up with changes and edits. Collective works are like that. I enjoy the setting and some ideas the rest not so much. Part of it was an adalecent trying to be riskeh. I thought how could a play tour all of Canada! Well.. set it in a hockey arena in summer. Almost Roman. At the time I was just getting out of highschool I think 18 entering university and really at an anger and loss of the Catholic faith like awaiting trial and being extridited to Rome. A lot of people who are critical of the church didn’t grow up of it. The play does get across the importance of story however the military industrial complex post colonial narratives deconstruction within continental and Germanic philosophy / eastern mysticism and you guessed it McLuhan matched with some Shakespereian Classicality dandy was too much to even care anymore. It’s almost laudable now. The poems are great.
i’d like to come out as the saddest excuse for a human and the most difficult possibly worst playwright in Canada; thanks
