Evening,
Due to works in process Tuesday Night Post will now be Tuesday Updates.
This will include works in process, writing on art and theory, updates on future shows, and thoughts on past ones. I hope the creative drive in the posts remain active.
There are a few shows now in process. July 4 and July 11 are ones approaching.
On July 4 the DivineBrick Troupe will see the return of Brennan Lowe. Since his last performance with us in Parallax Beach he has graduated from school and will be performing with us until his next path in life opens.

Workers,
Work is a way to live for death.
-DBL
I misalign go home on my back I realign.
This vehicle of growth even in death does it find a way to dine on misfortune.
This is the irrational growth that I fine myself wanting to explore
This is where phenomenon we still don’t fully understand relate. From this comes seemly chaotic growth. Cancerous on one end, self healing on the other.
a genetic pattern, a fractal existence, a war unending.
A bread crumb deliciously place at the end of surrender. Allowing Wealth to unwind. Towers that tall they fall with vengeance, adding numbers to the body count. Punishing as it loses stature.
A glitch in your terms. numbers deconstruct as they reconstruct adding distant to the equation. They do not fully explain a multi-dimensional phenomenon.
A larger arch that I don’t see but sense its there. That is my hopes to find and explore. A bit vague this descriptions are. My hopes is to leave the space that is need for ideas to Growth.

Musings on DivineBrick
Any good start begins with a solid under-structure. What keeps the pieces together is the frequency the negative thoughts trigger the self replicating behaviors. As before,... the Ouroboros, the irrational numbers, the wheel of life, the cycle of abuse. Positive feed back methods to induce the basic structure, decomposed.
DivineBrick methodology (at this state in time) is to deconstruct the self, which represents the collective self, in doing so belief should be expelled. Attacking the collective self, ripping it wide open, exposing faults and control mechanisms.
Building brick by brick encasing the blue gem. This is not a wall nor a pyramid. It is a path way flat and endless. No hierarchy can represent life energy manifested.
Bricks are square but bricks are made of bare earth. Human hands forcing shape, earth obliges. Human children played with mud, shaping, wishing, playing. Playing and Ritual, that is what we do. Breakthroughs or Beautiful representations. This is what we do. Pretend. We role play the Maker, the Grower, we replicate what we do not understand, our external world. External forces wakes us, teaches us, shaping us. This transformation no matter the method is a privilege and some how a birth right we have.
This Belief methodology is an alternative choice that I choose to choose, a cozen gift to not take lightly. My re-search lead me to the simple building block.
the brick
the cell
the room
the space
the net
the fabric
the self
the unit
the piece
This is the DivineBrick Methodology. Searching from the roots pulling on vines.

Tuesday N[ight Post #3.4 /
Well Rested,
I am not. A short half awaken thought.
-DBL
To some the obvious selection for failure is the fool. Shrouded with fabric that only children can see, this idiot surmised quick with no mistake. A fault on a jagged cliff side gets lost in rhythm of the irregular.
A hat to signal approach, in the fools walk you can see, stumbles fluidly. Just a laugh is a iron steaming hot bent on spreading this embedded joke. Clinging to concepts desires left alone, abstracted, detached the fool seems malnourished of everyday foes. Just a joker to twist-a-side the truth, in the corner the fool ties the shoe.
In the moments you try to find clarity in the actions that border on obscurities, there the fool traces what can be seen. Picture pleased, there the fool hides in actions.
Tuesday Night Post #3.3 /
Programs,
System Reformation. Belief Reformatting. Corporal Reformation.
-DBL
can systems really be about destruction?
de-constructing what is not understood
breaking apart what needs to stay
exploring touching reaching for a core that does not substitute
voices recall the past reformed
tongues collided fire revolves
center to the draft of senses
of need
of taste
of knowing and recalling
systems feel
do they feel?
does human well being involve feeling?
feeling is core?
this narrative of sight belongs to us
me the vision seeker-the Light bouncer
deforming planes confusing eyes
deceiver of the Light
efficient divider grower of worth
on this dividing line that she sensed
cubs were lost blood lines severed
her four legs knew this rhythm well
its the constant motion that delivers this sense of vast space
space so vast there is only self
the outer reached it limit
the inner reached a depths profound
Deliverer of Light she will never forget your smell
She tasted you once, strike you down
severed member searcher of Light
She sees no road
She sees no inner end
She pounds on pavement, crumbled glass
soft sands of beaches along the coast
tracking lacking worth
Parallax Beach-Parallax Scroll @ Highways Performance Space- Santa Monica, Ca /
Severed moments of macrocosmic balance routinely underline human evolution. These moments intrigue, as modernity has alienated us from the immediacy of life. Perceptions of time become mercurial and subjective depending on perspective. Parallax Scroll will take the audience on a revisit through the emergence of life. A trip that re-exams light, language, and the development of society, ending in a space unresolved and recycled. All points can viewed when wading on a Parallax Beach.
PARALLAX BEACH's "Parallax Scroll" is a multi-media performance piece that bridges the abstract landscapes of sound, light, time, and movement. A collective of artists, each utilizing different mediums, come together to make this unique work. Wes Johansen creates a visual representation of abstract thought through digital video projection, edited live and synchronized to synthesizers. Mike Meanstreetz uses avant-garde percussion and composition techniques tangling the participants of this ritualistic performance in a web of synesthesia . These elements are accentuated as josie j conveys transformation to witnesses through ritualism/ meditative movement, influenced partly by Butoh training and a background in performance art. Also performing in this piece are Zachary Vidal (saxophone/sampled noise) providing textured mood, and Brennan Lowe (movement) setting the wheel of this cycle into motion.
Tuesday Night Post #3.2 /
Lovers,
Its tuesday
-DBL
At this moment I am frustrated. Dealing with caves of pastured hills I resist but I enter, knowing what will occur will be a sense of being outside in the darkness. Just as the walls are moist, so are the chilled blue blades of grass. This is where I end up tired and achy. On trips to wild reactions and decisions I take my naps in institutions. Naturally the seeds that germinate from this conclusion share the same commitment as my execution. Dialing the proper number to call the doctor, to fill the prescription that murders the patient, in this proof your fail is the solution. Redialing context of dissolution I stand proud on broken and swollen legs. Tree trucks left to spoil, finding necks long and hard, wheels in mud stuck, the child cherishes his freedom.
With growth and pain rounded fingers feel around as wealth regains.
With repetition I find nostalgia when nothing changes assuring I remember the following.
With repetition I lay my head at the feet I adore without no standards.
With repetition I assure the memory deforms in dome or shelter bending as needed for the assault.
Gems, found in beds left for dead.
Tuesday Night Post #3.1 /
Fanatics,
#c0z3n
Man has taken from a womb. Destroying as he creates.
Stealing as he rapes.
A newer thought of a feed back loop that spreads thin
evenly across a surface
Of a man given a gift which he sees it as that
the structured thought was the first to notice
Repetition makes the group
Consumption closes the loop
In this act in his behavior he climbs
only to end up face down
People seed in their weight
end for them left in a gram of ash
Whereas However- a BONANZA {May 2} /
<a href="http://ctyf.bandcamp.com/album/whereas-however-a-bonanza">WHEREAS HOWEVER: A BONANZA by CTYFaudio</a>
via Maneesh Madahar
we could elaborate on things, specify how we shall move, or even what may happen. certainly there have been times in which the discussions yielded these kinds of particulars….but…you know maybe thats not the communication we should have at this moment. here and now. what is needed, ultimately, is a space for intimacy a
nd connection that begins to push against a possibility. the dynamic potential of a tribe carrying torches deep within bowels of the earth. the cavernous geological womb…watching the fire dance and the luminous rhythm create a shifting choreography with the animals painted on the walls.
this place can also be a bedroom or cinema or a warehouse. they them us we will congregate and gather to help each other thrive. to find ways of becoming a peoples of instantaneous magnitudes blossoming into the infinite impermanence… or , at the very least, we can make something happen that is new and for us. something whose precedent is an elaborate tapestry of interwoven histories extending along fractal meridians into the future and past lives of the selves we always knew we could be…come with me ill follow you.
dancing. summoning sounds. trying to conjure the numinous materiality. bass. gazes and silences.
this event is focused around an extended improvisation between groups and projects. every individual will be given a certain space-time frame in which to perform their personal work. however, this space-time frame will emerge from and merge with a larger collective platform. sights, musics, and costumed forms will be improvising into and out of each other.

Select Few,
Art as religion.
Art as Prayer.
-DBL
Laying on three rocks. My left foot on the noose. My right on the skull. My back on the wood.
My friend the only friend layed below. A beckon of red hanging from his throat. Loyal and true he laid on small thorns.
Just another ripe vision of true. A twisted repulsion to rearrange this off hue. Each turning shadow replaced by her at once.
Lil witch with power summon defaults. Make them special for others that are lost. Take them in kindly, choose them full.
Give them violence, put them down on moss. Slight adjustments of light are strong enough to confuse. Who follows who, paradox of the muse. Set it balance, sphere and cube.
Step into the darkness. Walk among elders, grab a limb. They swing you distances, as you loosen the leaves. Failing to see how distances bleed. Set it balance, puddle of gore and pile of ash.
On a high rise, looking down at her virtue and benevolence, remembers the frost. Memories of canopy high, bare feet on moss.
Forgetting the chaos, stepping ahead, circuits converging we are all lost. Set it balanced, flesh and mind.
That hazy air that finds you on an off day, that's where I laid. A faithful friend he will follow me as far as any liquid end. With his beacon of love he’ll help me up. No fear is pending. Vacuum of light where no one began.

D3C0D3D is itself a ritual in visual and sonic rites in which the experiencer is lead into psychedelic realms through over lapping multi projected video and tonal tides which wash over the consciousness of the participant to allow for multidimensional decoding of subconscious thoughts and universal higher self concepts.
I felt Furst world would be an amazing place to bring in new energies and set the intentions of the year to come. There is also intended interactive elements, games, photobooths, face painting and magic. We are all here to entertain and inspire each other. I intend a performance aspect which involves professional fire swallowers and spinners. These aspects will be safely outside in the sand and should also include a portable aerial pyramid (allegedly) for what promises to offer an enticing and flowing circus environment. I anticipate these are all professional artists who create with purpose and safety is number one. Environmentalism is also paramount, we are fans of the "leave no trace" policy. Safety and cleanliness are the fulcrum by which this event pivots. In all, I want to assure that it will be a fun night where every one can really absorb a fully interactive spectacle while being responsible for their trash. I have a cleaning crew set up and all that we do is portable and makes zero impact on the environment and certainly no impact on the wonderful art installations.
We will arrive saturday afternoon to set up,claim campers or camp sights joshua tree hike after set up, then performances all night and a casual sunday morning breakfast, yoga workshop then lunch and good times. Clean up by sunfall and head off into the sunset on sunday night. Performers will be paid in tips and donations, some free food, beverages, fun and camping areas will be provided, but its encouraged you bring stuff to share as well. Invite any and all conscious people who will respect the lands, but all friends are welcome. There is also a pool and jaquzi so swim wear is advisable. I look forward very much to this event. If you have any concerns or creative ideas please let me know. Food is a potluck Everyone is encouraged to bring some food to share in team building and PLEASE BRING FIREWOOD!
T and Light /
I only started to under-stand what she said that early morning. Now that I have legs. Strange as she was she painted long strokes of inconsistencies that assure only the wealthy in doubt. I could feel my throat sing in the waters we stood. She answered the question who she wished she was.
“Describing a self which is unlinked from the flesh I will attempt to do. Any concepts obscure or actively trending I find myself attractive to. Finding answers in odd places, when found became quite normal. A maker, a builder, my hands must be occupied. My body is my medium knowing every medium is an extension of the body. Survival of the old world I have kept my teachings. Seeker of new land, I recognize the direction. Always seeking, deciphering the roots.”
I am no fool simple mind still sees light in contaminated waters.
