DVDs of our performance?
by Mike Godwin 20 Aug '10

Dear folks, By the time I had the presence of mind to order one of the DVDs, the DVD makers had folded up their table and left. Does anyone here know how I can obtain a DVD or whom to contact? --Mike

I will be willing to contribute too but I have no idea how those pillows could go missing. ----- Original Message ----- From: weeklong-l-bounces(a)lists.wikimedia.org <weeklong-l-bounces(a)lists.wikimedia.org> To: weeklong-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org <weeklong-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Sent: Thu Aug 19 22:34:24 2010 Subject: Re: [Weeklong-l] Pillows and Cases Doc- I believe I brought home the same pillows and cases that I took, and Mary confirms this. I don't think we loaded any pillows into your truck, just plastic bags full of mattresses and four cots. I did take pillow cases off of the pillows that remained in the room I used (the kitchen room at Henry's) and put them with the towels. And I have my phone charger. But like Clayton I'm very willing to contribute to cover this or any other deficit. --- On Thu, 8/19/10, James Ayres <jayres(a)cvctx.com> wrote: > From: James Ayres <jayres(a)cvctx.com> > Subject: [Weeklong-l] Pillows and Cases > To: Weeklong-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org > Date: Thursday, August 19, 2010, 5:55 PM > Jenifer at The Shelby is missing one > pillow from Henry's House and two > pillow from The Schoolhouse.

Dear friends, I spent 9 hours in airports and 9 hours on a plane on Tuesday/Wednesday, and I am still recovering from that purgatorial state and from the rigors of our week in Winedale. I am also slow to process events that have had great emotional significance for me. That's why I've not written before now. I admit to feeling some trepidation about returning to Winedale: to my 20-year-old self, to acting again, to The Barn and its memories. But I see now that I was foolish to worry: from the first, every last one of you embraced me as if I were an old friend and made me feel I belonged there. And I can say without even an iota of exaggeration that I have never been in the company of so many extraordinary individuals. All of you so gifted in multiple ways and all of you imbued with the special passion for Shakespeare and for communal creativity that makes Winedale Winedale. It was rare company, and I am profoundly grateful to have been with you all--singing, eating, working, sweating, checking our streams. Extraordinary. Here's how to contact me when you come to London: >From the States, the number is 011-44-20-7374-2550. The address is 161 Lauderdale Tower, the Barbican, London EC2Y 8BY. I can't offer to put you up, I'm afraid, but I can feed you a good dinner and go to the theater with you and introduce you to Russ, who is prepared to love you all after I've reported on our time together. Please, please call if you know you are coming. I'd be hurt if you didn't. If you've requested book titles or websites or other information, I'll write to you separately. For now, I send my love and gratitude. Gail

Re: [Weeklong-l] "...let the world slip, we shall ne'er be younger."

Wow, Alice, this leaves me speechless. m ----- Original Message ----- From: weeklong-l-bounces(a)lists.wikimedia.org <weeklong-l-bounces(a)lists.wikimedia.org> To: weeklong-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org <weeklong-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Sent: Tue Aug 17 05:22:59 2010 Subject: Re: [Weeklong-l] "...let the world slip, we shall ne'er be younger." Oh, Clayton, we were ALL meant to be traipsing through your front yard at 1 am last night. My plane flew WAY off course. I am slowly beginning to process all this myself, just watching moments float by in my head, and tearing up from emotional complexity, or is it from simple love and lack of all your company and the project of the words that has me going? As it always does, Winedale widened my field of inspiration to keep me connected to it, and to you. On the plane I picked up Marilynne Robinson's extraordinary novel Gilead, a book-length letter from an old man who nears Doc's capacity to hold the world in love. He is a preacher who is the son of a preacher who is the son of a preacher, writing of his life in 1950 to his seven-year-old son, whom he knows he will not see grow up. Passage after passage spoke of the experience we had just shared. Here's one. I'll trust that the "spiritual but not or no longer religious" among us, and I count as one, might appreciate it together: "Calvin says somewhere that each of us is an actor on a stage and God is the audience. That metaphor has always interested me, because it makes us artists of our behavior, and the reaction of God to us might be thought of as aesthetic rather than morally judgmental in the ordinary sense. How well do we understand our role? With how much assurance do we perform it? .... Well, we all bring such light to bear on these great matters as we can. I do like Calvin's image, though because it suggests how God might actually enjoy us. I believe we think about that far too little. It would be a way into understanding essential things, since presumably the world exists for God's enjoyment, not in any simple sense, of course..." A resident at the artist colony where I work produced the attached improvised call and response duet between an Irishman and a Lakota man. You might want to play it with speakers rather than just on your computer. Both songs are, in the singers' respective cultures, songs of exile. Their singing it together marked a moment of suspension of bitter feelings between the two cultures; witnesses felt a lifting of burden. It feels like exile to me to be away from you. But this says that in a more beautiful way. Again from Gilead: "So you must not judge what I know by what I find words for."

photos from performance?
by Clay Stromberger 17 Aug '10

17 Aug '10

Hey everyone -- While I'm thinking of it -- if anyone you know took still photos during the performance, could you put me in touch with them? I'd like to gather as many as possible for the Winedale archives. I know we have Trey's video but the stills are often more useful for future publications etc. Also, I wanted to give my kids some photos with which to remember the weekend. I felt too busy to document things as we went, but sure with I had photos of all of you right now to put up in my little office! cheers, cs Clayton Stromberger Outreach Coordinator, UT Shakespeare at Winedale College of Liberal Arts, University of Texas at Austin www.shakespeare-winedale.org cell: 512-228-1055, cell #2 (backup): 512-363-6864 UT Sh. at W. office: 512-471-4726

the ring that will not break
by Clay Stromberger 17 Aug '10

17 Aug '10

Came across this today, made me think of our week, our feisty clashes with each other and with our characters in the pursuit of excellence, and finally of the wooden boards of Rollie and Marilyn's old store. From "Novice to Master: An Ongoing Lesson in the Extent of My Own Stupidity," by Zen monk Soko Morinaga: "This story (about a conflict between a master and disciple, resolved privately and silently between them) calls to mind the relationship between sumo wrestlers and the ring. The reason that two giant men, together weighting in at six or seven hundred pounds, can come together and wrestle, slamming all their might into the contest, is that there is a ring under them, which, like the bond between master and disciple, absolutely will not break. If a wrestler, however skillful, were to compete inside a ring drawn on ice, wouldn't he creep around, throwing all his effort instead into ensuring that the ice did not break?"
