I'm Bitter About Glitter

Thu, 12/21/2017 - 13:04

I’ve just worked three days with my new collaborator.

He’s not good at listening. He is extremely definite about how things should be done. He’s doesn’t like a lot of my ideas. He’s impatient. He hates rehearsing. He doesn’t sit still.

He constantly asks about lunch.

He never owns up to his farts.

 

I’m making a performance with my nine year old son.  I can safely say it is my most challenging collaboration yet.

Dedication from a mother to her young

Dedication from a Mother to her Young

 

From a white sheet shielding myself from my own glistening insides; a 4lb thing was held aloft. Whisked away for rubbing, checking; so tiny he couldn't breathe unaided.

He mewed, quiet but strong, like a kitten. We named him Felix.

I am a mother tiger, or a cat

You might have met him.

He’s deep, hilarious, ridiculous.

We mostly get on fine.

Sometimes we know what the other is thinking

(him: making stuff, me: dinner)
