Lagging

The jet lag is still catching me up, but I did want to note my thanks and gratitude to the good people at the University of Aberystwyth, Wales, for their brilliant generosity and a fine conference that pointed in so many new directions, as well as their enthusiasm and companionship, from fellow participants, splendid guests and dizzyingly talented students (especially those whom I was honored to see at work among the cast and crew of the staged reading of A Wounded Knife). And a welcome, too, to those whom I met at the conference who may be reading Superfluities Redux for the first time over the next few days. I hope that they may find something here worth their effort in seeking me out here on the Internet, and naturally welcome their comments on whatever they find. More substantial writing will resume soon, when my pencil is more keenly sharpened than it is this morning.

This is also an appropriate time and place to note that the daylong celebration of Howard Barker's work in New York is now scheduled for Monday, 10 May 2010. A co-production of CUNY's Martin E. Segal Theatre Center and theatre minima, the event will consist of readings, screenings and discussions of Howard Barker's plays, poetry and theatre (I'm especially looking forward to screening archival recordings of Barker's own productions of his recent plays I Saw Myself and The Dying of Today), and we're delighted that he's accepted our invitation to attend the conference in a rare visit to the United States. More information will be available shortly. To make sure you get it, join theatre minima's mailing list here.
