(Follow up from previous playlist) I'm not a native speaker, so poetry is tough. I can get some of the rhythm, but not the flow of the vowels. I was making some progress, but my main tool (a magazine called Ploughshares) really fucked me using COVID as an excuse, so that put an end to that (they asked me for an extended 3 year subscription as support, then sent me 1 issue over 3 years, and I had to beg to get digital access each issue, I soon gave up on that scam)

You get dance, fred, which must be harder to get than poetry. I say take the same posture, the same openness to reception. Having done so, you got it.

I can't stand French, as a language mostly, and as a culture

Oh, wait, by "getting it" you mean literally receiving it in your mailbox!

Maybe attending readings would help, but that would not convey the typographical choices which I was starting to value.
I just can't afford poetry
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:43pm
doctorjazz:

Just found a baby bird in may back yard (actually puppy Laila found it, but put it down when I told her to). Still alive, seems ok, don't know what to do except leave it and hope it's parents bring it back to the nest (really young, no feathers). (That's what it says to do when I Google it).
  5:44pm
Dean:

I am no fan of readings. I have to read poetry, one line at a time, one stanza at a time, one page at a time. I do not like "performances" of poetry.

Dance is easier when you come from nothing. You sill have a body. Language is far trickier, the codes are taught, not felt

Dance codes aren't taught?

They are, but that's the boring part to me.
I'm not talking about emotion there either.
I never danced, but what I get from a dance performance is definitely physical

I suspect the same, left it where we found it, sometimes mom is supposed to come and bring it back to the nest (and keeping dogs inside)
  5:57pm
Dean:

Not even done well. I think I have a greater enjoyment of theater, for example, when performed by high school or community theater groups than by "professionals." The latter are too expensive, and most of our exposure to them is in film, which has nothing to do with acting. I love the intensity of timing and space in a production with amateur actors. They are torn between a competition with "actors" they know (from film, hence not actors) and the brute fact of being on stage in front of dozens or hundreds of viewers, and among their peers. It is an astonishing experience all around.
  5:59pm
Dean:

And as for reading, every exercise is physical. Reading a book means holding and touching a book.

I got that in dance, still do at times. I guess I became more appreciative of the skill involved.
What I really can't stand is well-funded choreographers using people to supposedly critique my voyeurism when I was open to see what would happen and he just put a woman with no legs in front just shaming me for looking. Am I the one exploiting there? I paid, he got paid. He had a choice, mine was to leave, which I wouldn't do because it could get better

Tania Carvalho did a great piece with the same dancers, the same day. She didn't make it about her
  6:21pm
Dean:

Whence the exploitation?

I am wary of notions of "cultural appropriation," a species of exploitation, mostly because cultural appropriation is the water in which we swim. It's cynical when a corporation leverages it for profits, but otherwise it's how we engage with each other.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:32pm
fred:

↳ Dean @6:21
The exploitation is when his whole piece was having disabled people just standing there staring. I guess there might have been a message, but the contrast with Carvalho was telling. She created a piece for them, their disabilities were integrated, not showcased, so irrelevant. I mean, it took other dancers to support one who couldn't stand on her own to figure out why her amazing ground work was all she did, it didn't matter. The other guy had her crawl

I had never been sure about Raphael Garrett being same as Donald Garrett who worked with Coltrane & Shepp. If I had known about that Shepp concert recording with Kali Fasteau and Garrett then I would have known. Going into a family thing now, will catch the rest of the episode from the archive. Many thanks, David!

I keep running across this correction to the Coltrane Reference that says DRG didn’t play bass clarinet on Kulu Se Mama - but they don’t say who did! Anyone know anything about this?

The clarified butter. I, the oblation and I, the flame into which it is offered. I am the sire of the world, and this world's mother and grandsire. I am he who awards to each the fruit of his action.
