 Muse Me Performances start in response to the climate and economic situation – it is no longer so cool to take aeroplanes as it used to be. Save the planet, save your skins, and help starving people. >So – what do you do, if you wish to make a performance with all those kindred souls you have met throughout your travels, but do not want to suffocate the planet or yourselves ? Technology.

< USE SKYPE, and all other forms of  ways of streaming aural and visual performance. And install it all together on the same screen. Get connected, psychically, emotionally, then physically : which is us, a model of how we perceive ourselves - and how we model our technology and instruments. Today is the era of psychic connecting – and why not a musical, all made with each of us in our own, connecting in spirit and songs :

Contentwise, the cabaret itself - a story of what happens after crisis, the setting free of notions and accustomed habits, the re-examination of habits, and their realignments, seiving between necessary and emotional and material bindings. And the possibility of sharing and beauty.In July I relocated to NY, and was invited to give a performance, ahead of schedule, in the community environment where my studio was located . My first Muse Me performance over the internet was scheduled for September - and I felt that such an early performance would be a good chance for experimentation and improvisation in techniques. Last weeks ” MUSE ME No 1. - Open Up Baby” experimented with the technological structure and wether it could be done to bridge together participants musically and visually over the internet.

Thoughts on MUSE ME performance ( turns  to aftermaths of PLANESCRASHES performance )Muse Me, started as a performance in response to the possibility of creating together whilst spaced in seperate locations. Maybe there was also a bit of space fright involved. As an artist, i have been creating and producing installations since 2001, when as  a response to the billowing white clouds of twin towers that enveloped the screens of us spaced far away, mesmerizing us spellbound to an an action, the aftermaths of which were not revealed, i decided to make a cathartic installation of paper airplane making.
