Happening

The happening was great. there was so much energy and it was great to see all the people that I have not seen much of

this semester. Robbyn is amazing to put this all together. As I have expressed earlier, i just feel that there is so much more I could do in this class. i hope I can keep some of this good spirit going.

My humble contribution to the event:

Carrying Life

As mothers we not only give birth but we carry the lives of children on our

shoulders as long as we live. Some times are to be celebrated, some are

devastatingly painful, some chaotic, some peaceful. Carrying Life is about the

experience or motherhood in totality.

So, I didn't burn the school down which was a relief!

My sound was not as I had hoped because it was hard to hear some of the more subtle parts as there was so much going on in the space. That is ok, just the way things go with so many people.

The major surprise, however was the candles. I was off enjoying Anthony's incredible performance and when I made my way back to the

room check on things: Oh my! I guess if it had been timed to run the course of the evening, it could have been interesting. I don't know how one times candles.

Anyway, thats what you get with unpredictable art. I had fun. learned a lot, saw lots of terrific and fun pieces and its on to the next thing.
