for new page in lul.vtheatre.net/adm/grants

Applying from Addis Ababa.

Theatres involved.

Dates and deadlines — my google calendar : http://filmplus.org/calendar.html

To work online with the designer [Korogodsky] I started (re-open) JANHOY directory:

Right now — images from several sources. My usual show-case structure: scenes, characters, costumes, and etc.

Janhoy pages are in different palces — for producer, director and so on.

Second Lul concept-show (Spring 2010) — Lul-style.

Also, filmplus.org/album — Ethiopian Diaries

I like that university theatre programs suggest that there is some science in this theatre arts (like math), but I have the notion of promise. What promise?

People who need security should buy tickets and stay away from stage. Actors unions? They are not actors anymore.

Profession but without security?

That’s the trick — circus, my friends.

Only crazy ones need to apply.

Live Theatre = Stage. Dead theatre (movies and TV) is for those who love counting (money).

If you are free, come.

If you are not, don’t come near.

[self-quoting]

… Africa, Africa and Africa

“Ethiopia” as “Africa” is an idea — and remain as such. The real or my Ethiopia must just accompany the dream of Ethiopia. The ideal should not be replaced by the known, but live its own life. And it’s never one or another, but both.

Both should be preserved in their own forms of the dream and the real.

There is plenty of space for both to grow where they belong.

How do they co-exist? They dance.

Never compare one with another — they both is life.

They die without each other.

And this is my definition of death — when one is lost. Life without dream, or dreams without living…
