Better than ChocolateThis movie is extremely cheesy, but I love it. For its time, it does a great job of ...
On ne peut pas vivre de joie, d'applaudissements. On ne peut pas se nourrir d'adoration. On ne peut pas vivre dans une salle de concert. Et mon coeur ne pouvait pas supporter de perdre une autre famille après chaque concert. L'univers a fait de son mieux pour que je continue. Qui sait, peut-être que ma grande chance était au coin de la rue, et que je devais juste m'accrocher un tout petit peu plus longtemps, juste une audition de plus. Je suppose que je ne le saurai jamais.
Je ne peux pas m'empêcher de penser à Paris.
Plus les gens en savent sur les nuances du genre et de la sexualité, moins il y a de chances que moi, et des gens comme moi, soyons exclus à cause d'un manque de connaissances.
Je vais peut-être recommencer à écrire sur ma vie. Peut-être que je retournerai à Paris.

Faites en sorte qu'une personne non-binaire puisse faire ses affaires sans avoir à choisir son genre !
Une courte pratique de metta féministe païenne sur Insight Timer (une application de méditation gratuite) avec des sons naturels doux et un bourdonnement profond. Bénis soient les éléments et les lois qui assurent à nos frères et sœurs la sécurité, les soins et l'égalité avec nous tous.
Le fait de sortir du placard ne signifie pas que j'ai enfin réalisé qui j'étais, mais qu'il y avait d'autres personnes qui ne se sentaient pas comme moi, qu'il y avait un langage pour nommer ce que je ressentais, et que je n'étais pas seul.
Il est facile de confondre une personne qui occupe un espace dans le monde avec celle qui vous demande d'être dans cet espace. Ce que je...
Quand on m'appelle "elle", je me sens toujours exclue, invisible, incomprise. C'est un sentiment que je fais de mon mieux pour transformer en énergie afin d'éduquer les alliés potentiels.
J'ai appris qu'il y a une différence entre ma voix physique et ma voix au sens large. J'ai maîtrisé ma voix physique - toutes les nuances, les points de rupture ; j'ai appris comment ma voix aime bouger et s'épanouir. Il y a une liberté et une joie dans la pratique de l'utilisation de ma voix de cette manière sur scène. Mais j'avais besoin de quelque chose de plus.
Inspirée par une petite puce en plastique argentée qui se trouvait dans ma poche et qui portait l'inscription "Women in Recovery" d'un côté et la prière de la sérénité de l'autre (et par mon téléphone rempli de nouveaux numéros), j'ai découvert un désir en moi que je ne savais même pas que je voulais avant d'entrer dans cette réunion. Je voulais me retrouver.
Nos corps contiennent les plans des structures dont nous rêvons. Nous ne sortirons pas du capitalisme et des autres structures oppressives en nous désensibilisant aux effets de l'oppression. Nous ne supprimerons pas l'oppression en appliquant les attitudes des colonisateurs aux terres de nos propres corps et intuitions.
Il est temps pour nous de reconnaître la véracité des réponses de nos corps à l'oppression et de laisser ces vérités viscérales nous conduire vers des alternatives.
Pour que vous puissiez nous croire, vous allez devoir apprendre à vous pardonner. Et c'est la chose la plus difficile que vous ferez jamais.
Laissez-vous aller à la rage contre toutes les raisons pour lesquelles vous avez cessé d'utiliser votre voix. Ragez contre l'argent, le capitalisme, le mensonge de la méritocratie, l'optimisme de la jeunesse, les institutions qui vous ont bercé dans la passivité, les avertissements dont vous n'avez pas tenu compte, la misogynie. Honte, abus émotionnel, traumatisme, micro-agressions. Les maux de gorge, les mensonges. Versez vos larmes pour tous ces moments de connexion que vous avez perdus parce que vous ne chantiez pas.
Je suis censé ne rien ressentir quand elle rencontre quelqu'un de nouveau.
Elle n'est pas à moi...
Nous savons tous qu'il y a un problème et que la solution se cache probablement dans votre propre lieu de travail. Tout ce que vous avez à faire est de poser des questions, d'être prêt à écouter, puis d'agir pour rompre le statu quo en faveur des personnes marginalisées. Il est temps.
I know I am not the first person to speak, and that the reason I am able to find the courage to do so is because I am adding my voice to the chorus of many who have come before me. I honour those who said the first word, then the second and third.
How do I embody a character fully, fall in love with the character, learn its idiosyncrasies, when that character must undergo torture daily on stage, sometimes multiple times, with increasing detail, depth, and dramatic timing? How do I rehearse trauma?

The space between things we are sure of, is fertile soil for the seeds of our creative work.
I think many artists feel like they are getting better when they experience more flow in their work, when they can feel as though they are transcending the craft and technique of their medium and expressing something from an internal impulse. It is from this place of flowing energy (as opposed to a block), that the most authentic expression can happen, and a greater volume of work can be created.
