Wrote this a week or so ago. Here I dedicate it to the actors and company of Motus , Silvia Calderoni, Judith Malina, the cast of Life of The Theatre, based on the diaries of Julian Beck, Philip Santos Schaffer, Max Baudisch, Stefanie Harris, and the the entire legacy of actors of The Living Theatres 7 decades of work: The life of an actor Step 1, a cliche operation and gruesome truth. First, get on stage. Surgically cut your heart out of your chest. Once its out in the open, bearing in mind the expiring time the audience is present, locate the spot as close to the center of your heart as possible Now make a gash through the center of it so it spills its contents everywhere (As the blood spills be sure to direct it in appropriate channels and amounts towards the audience.) Now invent an emotional chemical preservative to keep the gashed heart beating precisely for the duration of a given artistic moment (it should be noted herein that being able to read the Latin language equivalent of artistic momentry is a requirement for this process. It should be further noted that the text books written that translate this language are printed on the interior walls of the left atrium of the heart and are transcribed in 7 billion different individual fonts) At the end of the artistic moment, stitch the heart, insert it back into your chest cavity and after the audience has left, sew yourself back together. Entering the outside world, the last note on the surgery is that it must go unnoticed on the sidewalk, in the street, at work and in the home, in order to make money, sustain relationships with friends and lovers, and maintain families...as of course this is optional self surgery. Next, Find theatre that maintains the right political temperature to keep the chemicals preserved for every time youre ready to showcase your organ removal skills to strangers. Be on call for emergency OR sessions Lastly, given the extreme blood loss that has occurred, it is critical that an ongoing supply of it be made available. Known sources are mainlining from other artists, living or dead, hidden vats of creative or personal history, also some naturally occurring phenomena and some dream realities. Rinse and repeat this process for the rest of your life until you can do it in 10 minutes like Pacino at age 60 or Malina every second of every day at 80. Next week the lesson on the resuscitation and suffocation cycle of your inner child
