cast and crew have seen In Vivo!

last Friday night, along with the apples and honey rosh hashana brings to the table, Ruby had her sister fly in from the midwest (you remember - the one who cooked three fresh meals each day of our film shoot. yummmy), and a with a buffet full of farm fresh food and Ruby's mother-in-law's exquisite cooking we gathered in reunion to view our work...

In Vivo - Through The Looking Glass, written and directed by Ruby Faulk and starring Elisa Blynn (moi!). Artful, Impressionistic, and thoughtfully produced, each and every one of the cast and crews creative signature is visible and palpable. congratulations and gratitude to Ruby for bringing us all into this experience!

i will have dvd's of my own soon and am looking forward to sharing and viewing with industry peops and friends.

come out and play ...WHERE'S ORBITTE?
her slip (ooh lala) is SI09, on the Parade Grounds. she'll be there or elsewhere on the isle, plunk n playing with others and other objects d'arte! i will try to be modernly technical and send updates when she's on the mOOv via borrowed iPhones and blackberry's!

There will be a running slideshow of the over 800 images i have taken of her, so-far-so-good, 1st year of Life.

ferry ride a-comin! yay!



Le Pettite Orbitte was born May 28, 2008 on a lunar-Orb eclipse, having been conceived as a set piece for Nothing, a solo play in development. Somewhere in the process of making this solid object, “The Orb” became a “she”, spoken of affectionately as “Le Pettite Orbitte”. A loving, happy, playful mythology developed around her, which many continue to find themselves enjoying when encountering Orbitte.

The Orb represents origin, openness, birth, fullness, potential, completion, moon, earth, cosmos, π, sensuality, embrace, motion, softness, marshmallows, ice, playfulness, community and much more or Nothing at all!

Le Pettite Orbitte’s function in the Universe is “Plunk n Play”.
Since her theatrical debut in June 2008, LPO has been a participant, installation piece and playmate at several arts, cultural and social events. Each time, she is covered in the attendees’ drawings, signatures, and dancing footprints. Each time, I paint her back to white.

Wherever you see Le Pettite Orbitte, it’s playtime!

visit Le Pettite Orbitte on Facebook Pages for pics n vids. and fer f'ksakes,
Fan 'er! (yes... i made this Orb!)

OPEN ME MIC

ooh...

okay okay okay okay-

The room that i have found as my initiating stomping ground is Penny's Open Mic in the East Village's Under St. Marks Theater on Tuesday eves. i've done my third appearance there and its a good starting fit. The particular flavor of this room includes musicians and acts, yet predominantly carries a extemporaneous, clever, grounded and celebrational vibe.

mee likey. mee flourish creatively. yah goot! things will come of this and shall be posted accordingly. yewsyews.

nOw appearing rearing n clearing!

open mic. now i've gone and done it! and it keeps happening.

tuesdays. under st. marks theater. getting outta the way. gettin it out that way. getting out the Way.

new adventure for me as a performer and really digging it! third venue's a charm.

trick:
looking for the right room. y'know how it is. the rooms. save lives. sacred. hello my name is...
