Day 1 in the CITY OF WOMEN

Maya Deren, Julia Child and I have arrived in the City of Women – aka paradise. Here in Ljubljana, Slovenia we held a street theatre workshop today for about 20 savvy and sassy Slovene feminists. The list of issues they wanted to create street theatre about was probably the longest list we’ve seen in a while but many of the themes we’ve seen before i.e. apathy, lack of art in education and sustainable foods. The group split into 4 smaller groups to work on smaller pieces of street theatre and for an hour we honed down the performances to 4 concise pieces. Then we hit three bridges square to perform. Here are some photos of KNOW! Knowledge, New Art NOW! BE KIND TO ANIMALS, TRY IT HERE, IMMIGRANT APPLES and WRITE ON MY SHIRT. It’s a great day for activism at City Of Women!

Julia Child's take on our Ohio tour of "If You Can Stand the Heat...."

March 4, 2010

Dear Deezers,

Ohio. The land of farms and greetings. I am, of course, referring to the "hi" right in the middle of the oooohhh's. There's something so promising about the word Ohio for just those reasons. And Denison certainly delivered. Not just delicious pre-show wraps, chocolate and seltzer, but crackerjack smart students. I was in love with the participants in our poster-making workshop who made intelligent, provocative posters and images around issues they were psyched to tackle: gender identity, capitalism, the (il)legality of marijuana, and sexual violence. Before we worked on posters, we conducted some theatre exercises and made them become human sculptures and tableaux. They obliged willingly and enthusiastically, thus contributing to the collaboratively driven sharpee/newsprint masterpieces. Bravo participants!

Per GGOT style we braved the Bee (Applebees) and the Roo (Ruby Tuesdays) of Heath, Ohio, waking up from the daze of NYC as food paradise. I can't say I miss Ruby Tuesdays when I’m not around one but I can say that I miss the incredibly generous and articulate audience that came to see “If You Can Stand the Heat: The History of Women and Food”. Our student volunteer, (Tara) played Tammy the Tummy and got pied in the face at the end of the show. I was the culprit that had the pleasure of pie-ing her. For her, it was a total surprise. For me, it was completely gratifying. Nothing like a little dessert after some masked activism, I always say.

Another highlight of the tour was our cab driver back to the airport when all was said and done. She delivered brilliant every-five-minute saucy one-liners while we shop-talked about theatre. She was a farm girl by birth, and a cab driver by trade: it was the perfect hybrid of Ohio and NYC and a great way to cap off the trip.

Bon appetit,
Julia Child
