Specific Projects....2024....

Cliff notes are I came here,[Wellington-NZ] to die 5 years ago from Hawaii and didn't and my green card expired while hospitalised here and now after spending 5 years recovering I'm all better and prepared to focus outward again

 

This website's stirrings were the first indication I might be able to envision a future. An old idea resurfaced and I somewhat untethered the woeful tangle that is my 25 year plus website with it's Russian nesting doll file infestation and then applied myself to an ongoing design plan that could be called my clown castle or a digital tombstone or more likely a digital habitat I'm pleased with.

Work in progress...

The Macro view of my future as a human being idealising themselves goes thusly

I intend to focus on continuing to confuse those who read what I write in the hope they will overestimate my intelligence while their own search for meaning resonates with my continued articulate confusion [as that seems to have worked so far]

......I am repositioning and aiming to create whimsy modules at home and produce them using both local performers wherever a market exists for public and private comic installations and using my prior experience as a global solo performer over 3 decades help identify potential markets for creative export.

My interests as a foundation for my work include urban planning, sociology, psychology, collective participative event production/management and theatre studies in it's widest sense with a focus on clown/whimsy, historically and contemporarily and the production of gleeful atmospheres that are collectively celebrated as prime objective.

My first goal is to cultivate a local creative hub where local people can develop as yet undiscovered ways to play and create in the public domain. I see this as a socially important, playful laboratory with sustenance but not profit as it's foundation.

Additionally to export creative whimsical modules internationally as products that are managed digitally from NZ while being produced locally in whatever municipality, event, cultural event or both international and local creative projects that are created as clients for this service.

This allows for development and skills advancement of performers local to the festival/ event as a replacement of the present modality where expensive outside specialists are presently the status quo.

Remote modular performance production is my primary ambition...after I've finish the majority of my tinkering with my Clown-Castle.
