catching up.
so on the 18th Liz Staruch, Len Kelly, Emily Rogge and I went to see ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW at the Colonial Theater in Phoenixville. posts on that to follow. did confirm for me that ROCKY is really about the cult classic aspect, the event, the community that surrounds the movie and stage show. after all, for me personally, neither the movie or the stage show are great pieces of film or theater. can either stand on their own as really legit pieces of art? or are they just b rated trash?
FROM LIZ:
My evening at the Colonial started with sitting across the street at a cafe watching the wide range of ages and the great homemade costumes line up for this event. I also loved observing those walking down the street asking 'what's going on' and upon seeing the kid dressed only in a gold lame speedo and hiking boots 'what the hell is he doing?' I always love getting that response from an audience.
Like Mark said, it really is about the event, interacting with the community who get to be something other than themselves for a few hours. Even if not in costume (which we did not do), the act of shouting out lines and reacting to new ones you haven't heard yet regardless of whether they were in good or poor taste (like all the Michael Jackson references) was electric.
It also for me confirmed that we need to black out as much of the Ikea theatre as possible if only to protect what finishes are still there but also to escape that pre-fab world and create a black void where our characters feel free to be themselves.

The movie
It's 1:30 and i just stumbled across the movie of ROCKY HORROR on the Fuse network ( i heart you DirecTV...)
I haven't seen this since going to see it in South Hadley, MA at a little theater across the street from Mt. Holyoke College when i was at UMass the first time around.
There's such an event tied to going to see this movie in person, that is totally lost lying in bed at this late hour, and i'm thinking more and more that it's important to honor this aspect of the show.
Us vs. Them. here and there, how do YOU see things. It's not about making some huge cultural statement. That just happens on it's own i am convinced. No need to beat it to death.
So all I was going to say this morning is that the movie is on, and the storyboarding is taking place. on to model pieces tomorrow. to create the shadows of the world.
the question i want to put to the audience is 'what do you think you're looking at?"
