Brecht und Bach
I am quite unfamiliar with Bach but the parallels sound interesting.
Ich kenne Bach nicht, aber die Parallelen klingen interessant.
Das bürgerliche Theater, das Brecht tendenziell mit dem Theater überhaupt verwechselte, der simple, einsträhnige Bühnen-Thriller, der die Welt im Namen von Einheit, Ganzheit und Abgeschlossenheit von den Brettern verbannt, die sie bedeuten sollen und allen Akzent auf Spannung und Einfühlung legt – er repräsentiert nur einen Ausschnitt der europäischen Theatertradition. Diese ist mehrheitlich: „episch“, vieldimensional, „antiaristotelisch“, selbstreflexiv.
Schon die antike Bühne setzte auf das Mit- und Nebeneinander von Szene und Orchester, gesprochenen und gesungenen Partien, Handlung und Reflexion, Action und Besinnung. Das Theater späterer Zeiten kannte Prologfiguren, Zwischenspiele, allegorische Chöre, auch Figuren wie den halb innerhalb, halb außerhalb der Handlung stehenden Narren. Oder es ließ, als »teatro des mundo«, durchblicken, dass die Welt nichts als ein Theaterstück mit feststehenden, zuvor festgelegten Rollen sei: ein Arrangement, in dem die Handelnden sie selbst nicht sind, sondern spielen. Mit ihnen kann man sich nicht identifizieren. Diese Künstlichkeit steigert sich noch in den multimedialen…

I Read A Novel
Which is really about all you could do with one, eh?
Not alone in this. All over the world there are people who read books. They are catered for by people who write them, publish them, and stock them in shops and libraries. Don’t think all the action takes place on a lighted screen…a great deal of the world’s thought uses paper.
The books I fish out of the local libraries are stocked there by librarians, who are largely of the female persuasion. As a consequence, many of the works are what appeal to them, and would appeal to other females. I would say ladies, but some of the novels were not written by, nor evidently intended, for the better classes. How they get past the prim minders is another question that I do not propose to either pose or answer. I value my head.
A current anthology features a…

She looks maybe a little confined by the role society expects of her?
I wonder what the story is behind her expression….
Is she bored? forlorn? disinterested? hopeless?
Maybe some music will help.
Thanks for Visiting 🙂

the shape my thoughts take
Some great sketches here!
Pierre Bonnard taught me how to like the shape my thoughts take. Well, actually I already liked the shapes my thoughts took (at least some of the time) even before I had ever heard of Bonnard but using the great old painter’s name lends a tincture of authority to the claims that follow. Or at least I think it does…. (Do others love Bonnard as much as I do?) Does the general public love this man who drew like someone who is talking to himself?
If you like the shapes your thoughts take or are willing to let thoughts take what shape they will, then drawing becomes a very different game. You can go deeper and deeper into a subject, despite “mistakes,” adding more and more visual information or
