Independence park day - invite

and another Nina Simone post

I'm writing a little paper about the queen so there'll probably be a few of these now. Every time I come across some footage of her live I feel I've found a new meaning to the word "performance" This one is in the Netherlands 1965. 40 minutes of a genius at work

Zebra Katz - Ima Read

yes school girl outfits are horribly overused but this shit is just too good for me to care!

 

Serving Jewish realness

One of the best vids I've seen a long time

Were the 90's really better?

Unfortunately, I'm starting to join those who think so

Fabulous window choreographies

Saw these two wonderful compositions yesterday and today

Because I look good in leather

yes it's already quite old, and yes, the vegan in me doesn't want to like it but it's just so cool.

New title, fluid identity

Why not change the name of the blog every now and again? Mike Kelley died, and the "monsters" thing started to seem a little bit weird, and I love this little Tyler the creator quote. also, I think theater people here in Germany can learn something from him.

Livin in the sunlight lovin in the moonlight havin a wonderful time

So wonderful to find these things. There's even a blog dedicated to his videos

Death proofing me softly

Subi just saw "Death Proof" yesterday for the first time, so I had the joy of watching it again. I think it's the best thing madame Tarantino shot. The way it lifts you up at the end is exactly what I wanna figure out how to do with my own theatrical shit.

This scene for example is so amazing.

And here's a little shout out I found on Youtube to the editor (yet another proof to support the argument I'm sticking with for years already: the guy is a real feminist):

Graffiti rock rocks!

Here's something I came across today; a 1984 pilot for a TV show that didn't air. I love the little hip hop dictionary and especially the colored lights on the backdrop. Also, check out Vincent "Prince Vince" Gallo around 10:00. FRESH!

Egyptism

Egypt was always at the center of attention and an object of fascination for cultural orientalists. I'm sure there are many historical, mythological and imaginary reasons for that special occidental love, and I would leave it to the theoreticians to explain. I'm as usual fascinated with the fascination and the way it evolved into pop culture. So here are two amusing/disturbing 20th century performative moments that materialize this perversion:

Wilson Keppel and Betty doing their popular Sand Dance routine (c. 1933): And the gorgeous Kate Bush making her properly insane and absolutely not PC contribution to the discourse (1979):

History of cool #1: Josephine Baker
