The translation varies "to be good" or the "temptation of goodness", whatever the semantics, Pipeline is DOING good and I'm glad they gave in to temptation.
I should have sent this out sooner, but better late than never. Go see Pipeline Theatre Company's production of Brecht's "The Caucasian Chalk Circle" directed by Anya Saffir. You will be sorry if you miss it. That being said, it's only running until March 19th, 2011. Go to Pipeline's website for details. They are on facebook and twitter and have links to some stellar reviews if you need other (more detailed and articulate) recommendations.
Anya Saffir and I studied acting at The Atlantic Theater Company, as did this ensemble more recently. Anya and I, along with our classmates, formed a short lived theater company called The Annex. Pipeline reminds me of what we tried to create those many years ago. Their passion and drive, not to mention their ability, are inspiring. I'm hoping to collaborate with them in the near future.
My acting background has influenced my photography greatly. From shooting live performances to staging specific scenes, finding truth in the moment has been part of my process as an artist for decades. More specifically, Atlantic (Practical Aesthetics created by Mamet & Macy, based on Stanislavsky Meisner) teaches the actor to "live truthfully under the imaginary circumstances of the play". For me, when I create an art directed piece, or even take a portrait, I am trying to capture the truth of that moment. When it comes to music, live performance is truth itself.
Thanks for reading.
Be well,
Ahron
