Spring Takes a Holiday

Once upon a time, there was a season called Spring.


Several weeks after March 20th, a city named Boise was enjoying the mildness for which Spring was famed. Camelback park drew both peasants and royalty to its balmy, verdant trails.

Minstrels wrote songs in the streets, and fruit salad was bountiful, rejoicing with colors and free outdoor wi-fi.

Even the Library shouted with joy.

And then...

Popcorn fell from the sky. At first, the townspeople were overjoyed and opened their mouths, gorging on the delicious magic "snow".

When they realized it was hail, they ran through the streets seeking refuge in espresso dens.

Even the Library was shouting with displeasure.
And then...

delighting in the return of Spring, the traveling Shakespeareans skipped merrily Eastward on Monday, April 5th

only to find that Spring did not follow.

The powerful mountains between Boise and Pocatello had held Spring behind and caused several delays in the troupe's appointments. 3 Days later, they returned to Boise, exhausted and though the snow was gone, Spring was nowhere to be found. The perplexed Shakespeareans fell fast asleep and had fitful Wednesday dreams...

Auspicious trees seemed to say that the mountains would never return Spring to the land. In the wee hours of Friday morning, the cast of Othello performed a show in these dreams...

...and awoke in Horseshoe Bend, eating a delicious breakfast, greeted by sunlight and affectionate angels!

heralding Spring's return.

Sit. Stay, Spring. Live happily ever after--or at least for Spring's lease...

You may remember DAT from my work with them in Ecuador last summer. Thanks again to all who helped us work with the communities there and bring 9 pieces of original theatre to NYC.

Since 2006, DAT has traveled with over 100 theatre artists to Zimbabwe and Ecuador. Using theatre games and techniques, they have taught acting, playwriting, and overall self esteem in their Empowerment Workshops in over sixteen uniquely diverse communities. While in the communities, they also put their skills to work in practical ways through service projects. In the summer of 2009, DAT artists spent their time building a community center in the Andes, repairing Solar Panels and building dry bathrooms in the Amazon, planting trees in the Galapagos and brought home 9 original plays performed in New York City last July. Voices From Louisiana will embark on a similar journey. DAT will travel to 6 communities and provide free Empowerment Workshops to up to 12 schools. While teaching, they hope to engage with the community through a local service project, 16 pairs of hands willing to do good, as well as collaborate with local arts organizations.

Dear All,

"Raaarrrrghhhh!" That's "Grammercy" for follow this blog. And grammercy, Jennifer for tell my story, and grammercy too for translate my squealing into the words now on screen. Some of you know me as "Jealousy Monster," the one Emilia warn Desdemona of in Act 3, scene 4. But truth, I am not dangerous as jealousy. It is simple: I have a face that is always surprise, excite, and horror.


I enjoys reading sonnets...


making surprise on friends...


and adventures!!!

Here's what happed week 5 of Shakespearience's tour of Othello! Wish you here! See you soon!

Love,

Infrared Bijounee
