q-Staff Theatre - With Bright Spines
Over the past weeks I've had the great pleasure of working with q-Staff Theatre members Richard van Schouwen, Sandy Timmerman and Brian Jabaay while volunteering for Double Edge Theatre's summer spectacle performance the Firebird. On the first night I helped van Schouwen outline his mural of Russian palaces, cliffs and gardens on the side of the pavilion at the Farm. In the early morning hours, I learned about q-Staff's latest performance With Bright Spines, a musical and visual exploration of the New Mexico desert that uses cacti and other thorny flora as points of departure towards a world where "spiny denizens of the desert" -- artists, dissidents, and marginals -- question the work of the philosopher Spinoza (whose name means thorn or spine) and the nature of survival, the difference between what it means to "consume and take" and to "give and make."Take a few minutes to watch this short from Vimeo of With Bright Spines. "For each piercing of the skin, each hole poked through the veneer is a portal through which we travel from an old story to a new one. And these scars, they are the record of our change."
