The Primitve Side

The root to really understanding who you are is to understand your primitive self. The instinctive natural side that can help you realize who you truly are. The false self you use in society and during the work day is keeping you from knowing yourself. There is only one person and that is the guy who wants to get laid, make his friends laugh, and talk about how big his shits are. Finding the primitive can make you very wise.

I'm all for understanding yourself but I can agree with denying impulses that are harmful to others. It's difficult to find balance because none of us are balanced. If you don't know who you are, you're close to insanity, angry, or desctructive.




When I start working on a project I have a few ideas and theories I'd like to be underlying message of the piece and put them together. Then during it's creation I find more ideas or places to go and sometimes flip my original ideas and theories on their heads. When I originally wrote Rainbow, I was making this absurd character that slightly represented immigration problems in the US then about half way through production I realized he can represent so much more about the United States and the powerful ignorance that exists inside this country. The great thing about working with a script and a laid out plan is that I can say "fuck it" and do whatever I want. The more I go places within the scripted world that weren't seen originally, the better the final piece tends to come out. Full improvisation through out the production really makes the projects great.
