  FIFTH SEASON MAGAZINE/FALL 2013 ISSUE presents ECOARTPEDIA... "All language is poetry. Each word is a small story, a thicket of meaning. We ignore the picturesque origins of words when we utter them; conversation would grind to a halt if we visualized flamingos whenever someone referred to a 'flight' of stairs. We clarify life's confusing blur with words. We cage flooding emotions with words. We coaz elusive memories with words. We educate with words. We don't really know what we think, how we feel, what we want, or even who we are until we struggle 'to find the right words.'...What do those words consist of? Submerged metaphors, images, actions, personalities, jokes... And yet, through the artists' eyes--perhaps because they risk so much--we discover breathtaking views of the human pageant. Borrowing the lens of an artist's sensibility, we see the world in a richer way--more familiar than thought, and stranger than we knew, a world laced with wonder, but it's always there, waiting, full of mystery and magic. I feel that much of my own duty as a writer is to open those doors of vision, shine light into those dark corners of existence, and search for the fountains of innocence".Diane Ackerman/"Language at Play"/1999 BOOK HUGGERS OCTOBER 2013 SELECTION: BOOK HUGGERS NOVEMBER 2013 SELECTION: ECOARTPEDIA 2012-2013 EDITION presents:NEW YORK ARMORY ON PARK EVENTS/2013 NEWS UPDATE:The Park Avenue Armory in New York opened on September 4th thru September 18, 2013 for "The Machine" PLAY...Excerpt from "Gladiators Battling on the Chess Board"/New York Times, Sunday, September 1, 2013 REVIEW by Rosylyn Sulcas announcing..."The Machine' pits Garry Kasparov against a computer "But the 1997 encounter between the Russian world chess champion Garry Kasparov and the I.B.M. computer Deep Blue was hardly your average chess match, and "The Machine" presents it as a high-tech gladiatorial spectacle...It brings the story back to the city where the match took place... It is Ms. Rourke's first show in New York. At 37, she is the first woman to run a major London theater and she was also the first in the Cambridge University's history to direct the Christmas pantomime." "Most of the play happens away from the chessboard because it's about the men, not the chess." the playwright Matt Charman explained. RECOMMENDED AND RELATED LINKS: |
