Actually, one of my favorite parts of <i>Dora</i> was the relationship between Dora and Frau K: a moving adolescent swirl of worship, desire, envy...<br /><br />I think this piece, with its focus on pre-adolescent characters, will open up some possibilities for us to explore these relationships, especially since we won't have to construct a plot fueled primarily by sexual desire...or will we?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36987874.post-57403169534080554752007-02-05T11:43:00.000-05:002007-02-05T11:43:00.000-05:00As I mentioned to Jon last night, I thoroughly enj...As I mentioned to Jon last night, I thoroughly enjoyed Cynthia Hopkin's show at St. Anne's on Saturday. The music moved me to tears again and again from the inexplicable way sounds I had never heard before continued to mesh and delight. Made me wish I had stuck with my piano lessons.<br /><br />But more than just enabling me to fall in love with a new theatre maker, it also made me think a lot about Stolen Chair's grappling (or perhaps lack thereof) of women's relationships with one another, particularly within the family. I've rarely shared the stage with another woman in one of our shows, and when I have, it's been fleeting. <br /><br />Now to avoid scaring Liza, I not only want to explore making theatre with her because she is such a hottie, but because I find it interesting that given many of our gender and queer theoretical and performative interests we shy away from relationships between women. I'm curious to flesh this out more in this show, perhaps particularly relationships between women of different generations.<br /><br />Off to corrupt some young minds!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
