My Comrades,

I will get to bed eventually tonight.

I was sorting through material for tomorrow

and suddenly thought that I might find this manifesto

somewhere in the internet.

And lo!

I did at:

http://marx.org/subject/art/lit_crit/works/rivera/manifesto.htm

So I did a copy and paste

and here you are.

Hi,

This is a collection of 20 poems each of which I thought might be
interesting to work with.  They come from Eluard's "Capital of
Pain" which was published in 26.

If you are looking for something and find anything in here interesting, go right ahead and lay claim to it.

Nice pieces and none of them very long.

Thanks

love

Hi,

Here's more Eluard.  Quite like him, at least in translation.

This is a series of 11 very short poems for anyone to take on if they
like them.  I made no indications for any scripting or special
audio treatment.

thanks

love

Hi,

Here are the first six very short poems from a much longer series, but this seemed a nice cluster.

I'm just pulling them up out of the book and throwing them out there if anyone likes them and wants them.

Thanks

love

Hi,

I played around with the poem in various forms

in simultaneous readings.

This is for anyone to pick up and play with.

Hi Richard,
I would love to produce or read the Kahlo script, if no one else has
spoken for it.
I'm also expecting myself to send you some dada news updates, to see if
they fit your overall idea.
Thanks for what you're doing!

Hi,

Just sharing a short fun text I'll be working on with Jessie Isaac
(flute), who will be playing something by Satie, yet to be determined
(I'm hoping for Trois marceaux en forme de poire which Satie did for a
dada festival in Paris in 1923, but that's up to Jessie and what he
wants to do ... and what scores find).

When I worked with him in 2001, Jessie tended to prefer performing live
on the air, so that's probably how we'll do it, perhaps tucking it into
the Cabaret which can use more music.

Hi there,

We are presently exploring setting up a simulcast with cable access
television, as we did for two nights during the festival in 2001.

If you are an artist who works, or wants to work, on video this email
is to inform you that we probably will have a place for your work to be
seen as well as heard.

The person who is putting the video component together is again Bill
Dodge.  He is the person you need to  contact about what you
are producing, as well as sending in a proposal to this site.

Bill can be contacted at:
