The oppressive heat has given way to a cool soft breeze as I prepare the transition to leave Lendava and D’clinic. I will miss my days of having morning coffee outside the theater, working, taking a hike up to Lovska Dom for a hearty lunch and then back to work.
I have created a video that gives a bird’s eye view from my room to where the performance takes place. A voyeuristic tour from the outside to the inside.

I got to present the work twice to resident artists and a group of high school students. The feedback was mixed – from “powerful” to “grateful” and questions about the source of my inspiration to a philosophical discussion on mortality. One artist thought the work was so personal that it couldn’t engage an audience, another artist had nothing to say and a third artist looked at the floor the entire time. Yikes… I have a lot to think about as I head to Budapest, and then home.

“The festival was such a wonderfully supportive community of artists to perform amongst and a generous audience as well. The performances were inspiring and exceptionally well-run, which I appreciated.”
