If you like Literary Fiction and/or Theory of Mind, you will enjoy this fun (and perhaps snobby) study on how even reading a few minutes of good fiction makes you a better person.

Morning Artists. “The writer, when he is also an artist, is someone who admits what others don’t dare reveal” – Elia Kazan // #BringingTheTruth
Morning Artists. “You ask me why I spend my life writing? Do I find entertainment? Is it worthwhile? Above all, does it pay? If not, then, is there a reason?… I write only because there is a voice within me. That will not be still.” – Sylvia Plath // #Word
Morning Artist. “Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.” – Edgar Degas
The consummate Speaker–Writer-Teacher–Artist.
Morning Artists. “We must learn that when our art reveals a secret of the human soul, those watching it may try to shame us for making it.” – Julia Cameron #BeOnGuard
It was a great pleasure to watch the documentary “LEMON,” which tells the story of the poet named Lemon Andersen from Brooklyn, NY. The film follows this three-time felon, one-time Tony award winner, on his journey to tell the beautiful struggle of his poetic story.
I was inspired, encouraged, and entertained. Please check out the film on DVD or NetFlix. The trailer can be seen here: http://youtu.be/h8bWRn0OAEk
While I have been wrestling in this recent conversation with Theology and The Arts, I came across this video of David Taylor and I think it is extremely challenging for artist and people of faith. I was affirmed and encouraged by Mr. Taylor’s thoughts.
Please take the time to watch it and see what comes from your dialogue with this pastor artist.
This week has been so much fun. I was in full artist swing:
Monday I was shooting video at a law firm. Tuesday & Wednesday I was photographing an event in the city. Thursday I was teaching Acting & Improv to some middle school kids at Poe Park in the Bronx with the Caterpillar Crew. Friday was some more Improv and Hosting at JDP Studios with “Theater In The Garden”. And last night I did some acting as part of a screenplay reading at INTAR.
“All the world is a stage,” and so I am grateful to have these various artistic expressions as my part to PLAY. It keeps life fresh and full of joy.
What platforms do you have for artistic expressions? Do you feel you use them well enough? If not, perhaps you can find or create some new ones. 🙂
It definitely is – http://bit.ly/ptN7TL
