Order a copy of the Greylight Anthology to read Enemy Towers!  Click here for my stage play Enemy Towers:  http://www.amazon.com/Greylight-Theatre-Selected-Plays-Seasons/dp/0595211852   

Enemy Towers is an avant-garde parody of academia written to coincide with an art exhibit curated to have works by local artists both in the performance, as well as in an adjoining gallery space where a reception will be held each night before and after the play.

Its first run at Greylight Theatre, directed by Jason Hedrick, was a hilariously smashing success, leading to publication in an anthology which, ironically, has occasionally been used as a text book in academia.

      I grew up in Evanston, and its come to my attention that some of my friends are pushing for Enemy Towers to be produced at the Noyes Cultural Center. I would be happy if this were the case. I always visit the halls there, when in town, to see the current art show. It is the perfect venue, and city, for this play to be produced in. kenboe@gmail.co

Nude models brave cold to protest low pay
Posted: 12/18/2008

PARIS (Reuters) - Artists' models in Paris stripped naked Monday, braving freezing temperatures to protest against a ban on tips and to demand better pay and recognition.

More than 20 male and female models, some posing nude while others were draped in a colorful array of shawls, sheets and fur coats, took part in the protest that had the backing of two of France's biggest labor unions.

The action was triggered by a recent decision by the Paris authorities to enforce a ban on artists' tips, known as "cornet" after the rolled-up cone of drawing paper in which painters traditionally dropped some money for their models.

"We're very badly paid and it's always been that way," said model Carole Kras, who joined others in the courtyard of a 16th century palace that houses the Paris cultural affairs offices.

"We've always had the 'cornet' to make up for some of that but now they want to get rid of it," she said, as shivering colleagues got dressed after briefly disrobing.

The demonstration was tiny compared with recent mass protests involving teachers, railway workers or public servants but in a city with such a long and rich artistic tradition, it carried extra resonance.

The models, who work for the city of Paris posing for students and professional artists, said the end of the "cornet" was the last straw.

"I don't really care about the cornet. What I want is to be better paid," said Kras, a full-time artists' model who has been doing the job for 15 years.

She said an average wage of 10 euros ($13) an hour for posing sessions that often lasted around three hours was inadequate. She added that models, classified officially as "special diverse personnel," wanted clearer professional recognition.

Thanks for adding me, I grew up in Evanston. Hope to do a show there some time. Let me continue the conversation by saying that its hard to remember what hasn't yet existed, so we forget to create or even like new things, and this is reinforced by cliches such as "every thing's been done" and "there's nothing new under the sun." Just the same, cliche, idiom, type, and other familiar forms and figures are a good place to start.
Cliche can be seen as "dead metaphor", so its a healthy job in society for artists to re-invent them and bring them back to life, as well as create the new ones through .. Synchronic Alchemy

Hey, Noyes Cultural Center! I went to Piven as a teenager, and now my daughter goes to arts camp in your lovely building. So it's come full circle.


My current project is the novel I'm writing, a work of gritty urban fiction set mainly in London.
So give it a glance when you get a chance:

Right on. I took Mime and Movement there a thousand years ago. Love seeing the circus too. Also love seeing my brother in the occasional play in your theaters! Let me know if you are ever in need of a shamanic healer to participate in any events.

Well.. Now I know I've arrived..

I grew up in Evanston, ETHS class of '84. Playing music up at the cultural Atrs Center, and Dancing there in the evenings before my Mom got out of work at the Cos Building, and being around the Piven Theatre Workshop -all those experiences are a big part of why I continue to make music.



Don't know if you guys knew this, or if it's by chance, but....

Thank you.

"Noyes"???

would that be analogue or digital noyes? an acronym, perhaps? possibly a reference to the obscure dadaist "No Yes" movement?

Whatever.. if you might consider presenting a performance entitled "927 noyeses", Satan2000 would be happy to generate that many for you.
