EMILY DICKINSON! EMILY DICKINSON! And the event began at Bushwick Starr, at first I thought I was just witnessing a young persons (early twenties) superficial rite of passage, but after the frenetic dancing a few songs with lyrics from Dickinson's poetry, kind of arresting, things changed for me when Rebecca, a dancer in the piece, started talking to me, and invited me to read a Dickinson poem, sort of an Emily Dickinson karaoke. I did, and immediately felt more like part of the festivities. Left fairly early, was tired, planned to return this morning, but did not make it. Saw Noagh today for tutoring, good work, then off to the Starr again. This time I found out they were simply rehearsing a piece for tonight, some guests were there, other dancers had gone home, should be back this evening.
Now, half past three, had planned to go to open house party at Bronx Documentary center, now not sure, need to rest a bit, feeling tired, can return to Bushwick at any time, already much traveling on the subway, do I want to visit the Bronx and then go back to Brooklyn? Long night, will play it by ear.
Not much else to day, found a good Dickinson peom (130) that I will read this evening, probably a lot of loud sound tonight, will try to stay longer, then tomorrow night, the final evening and party, should go to Bronx Doc for tribute to slain photographer and a small benefit for him, but probably won't, will choose the Starr and the final celebration of the Emily Dickinson performance piece.
