how to read tarot cards (May 6&7)
behold, ticket links for this AND ALSO Rockwood is FRIDAY NIGHT
Hey Hartlist,
I have Covid.
That’s it, that’s all I got.
Oh, and also:
FROM THE CHRYSALIS
Like I said.
A picture is worth a thousand words, right? (Click either image for tickets!)
Speaking of small triangular pictures that represent our lives: I know, I KNOW that taking Covid personally, no matter how malevolently timed it seems, is folly. I just spent all afternoon on my How To Read Tarot Cards script articulating the difference as I see it between What is Minor (up to us, possible to do) and What is Major (bigger than you, doesn’t care) and how the only real power we have with Major forces is in how we react to them.
And on that note, I’m happy to say that actually I did not “lose” the first week of my residency at The Cell Theatre. It just took place at my home over Zoom in a delightfully retro state of quarantine. A one-woman show is fairly easy to rehearse this way… also, it’s a developmental residency and I am still writing and rewriting and finding and sculpting the structure with the director. All very conducive to staying in one place next to a box of tissues. With luck I will be back on-site on Tuesday, starting to stage this little beast, and by Friday night (!) on stage at Rockwood III singing for you again. Fingers crossed. The band is rehearsing without me on Monday night. We live in strange times.
But I wanted to get this news out to you. For those who’ve been asking, no the Tarot show is not a concert; it is a one-woman play - a thing I haven’t done in a long time. Part Ted Talk/lesson about something I’ve been doing on and off for years, part memoir about my relationship with my late father, part live reading (!) with a member of the audience, I am not really sure how to do it which as it turns out is the kind of project I like to pick for myself. Very grateful to be working with the brilliant Chloe Treat as director. Grateful to The Cell theatre for supporting it and granting the commission.
It’s pretty philosophical and you will learn about Tarot but it’s also not “about” Tarot and you don’t need to be a “Tarot person” to come see it, whatever that means.
Ok no more computer today. Stay healthy everybody,
Rebecca
