I’m not trying to derail the progress of the scene breakdown.  I was cleaning a room and got distracted.  Maybe this is more appropriate for the Lichtenbergian site since it represents divided attention; I don’t know.  It does touch on theatre art, however, so…

I wrote a speculative little thing a while ago in which I tried, yet again, to synthesize two of my interests:  performance and psychoanalysis.  Yes, I know; I’m pretty predictable, but don’t begin chanting the Te Dium just yet.  And no pained sideways glances.  Have a look at it and see what you make of it.  

I’m not much interested in being asked questions beginning with What did you mean by…. or entertaining editorial observations; as exposition and improvisation, it is what it is. Rather, I think there are occasional passages I’m quite proud of because of the way they articulate some pretty arcane Lacan concepts in everyday language.  Also, I want to inspire new thinking on performance issues.  To my mind, nothing I’ve offered is shattering original, just another stirring up of the familiar into a slightly unfamiliar brew.

Useful for Coriolanus?  Not a bad question.  It’s not my agenda in encouraging you to read it, but if it inspires, why not.  Too eccentric?  We can only hope.
