Improvisational arts

Heyyy!
It'll be in English, for it is much easier, even for me, and for about 99,8 percent of the world's population as well, if I don't publish in Slovenian.
What's it about? The word is out, the heat is on ... improvisational theatre.

It's a little something I've been engaged with for the past .. 7 years ... (hm - Egypt, here I come;) When I start seeing images of skinny and well-fed cows, trust me, I'll call a doctor;)
This would sort of be it, in a nut-shell:

Improvisational theatre allows an interactive relationship with the audience. Improv groups frequently solicit suggestions from the audience as a source of inspiration, a way of getting the audience involved, and as a means of proving that the performance is not scripted. That charge is sometimes aimed at the masters of the art, whose performances can seem so detailed that viewers may suspect the scenes were planned.

So - if ever you have the guts, try it! It takes a bit of time to get started, but if you have somebody to "spake unto", 's no problemman! But the same pattern shows itself to us: it takes years and a lot of painstaking effort to truly master it. If ever you can, my young padawan.
Over and out.

go wild ... literally;)

Yup - everybody's doing ... it, so why not you?

"Biti zelen, je postala pomembna tržna niša oz. dodana vrednost podjetja. Dejansko, če sledite spodnjemu linku, sem naredil BANKI HSBC reklamo --- zakaj? Ker so bolj zeleni in ker sem tudi jaz bolj "zelen" in je meni to npr. pomembno + še en razlog več, da ostanem pri njih.

To be green has become a major market niche, ie, added value in the sense that if a company can offer me, as their customer, a viable option of "being green" thorugh them, to me, they have gone up a scale. Take a look at the bank HSBC's Go green option.

Funny, though, how things coincide - hm... "you're green - wau! So are we! Come and spend money with us!!!":))) So do not be hoodwinked by these .. modernday-dirtycapitalism-hipocrisy. The bigger wave has yet to come. Unfortunately.

But still: this week's special: GO WILD with BBC, which is supporting BTVC and the Wildlife Trusts across the lands.

Have fun, kids:)

Siddharta.

Najuspešnejši slovenski bend,(edini zapolnili stadium, poleg Kelly Family ... še Iron Maidni so imeli manj ljudi, btw.) Siddharta have pulled the biggest one.
Pink Floyd would have probably called it "The Great Gig in the Sky" ... er, Hala Tivoli.

I also went to a concert - of the most sucessful slovenian band of the last 10 years ... Siddharta ... and they again, did what NO ONE else has ever done, ever:
they played, on a 4,5 (perhaps 5) hour-long concert, ALL of their songs. ALL 53 so far. Out of those, they played every production they had with other bands ... Vlado Kreslin, the Legend. Dan D; instrumentals with Godalika, ...
It was magical and inspiring. Given that you rarely go home really thoroughly satisfied with what you've received for your money, this probably was - the best concert of my life.

Oh, And - the LINK TO THE INTERVIEW - in Slovenian, v Slovenščini!

hola e viva Mehiko!

Meksicani. Mexicans. Mehicanos.

After quite a few personal encounters (one of those VERY personal, If you catch my drift;) I have come to know them as polite, friendly, crazy, out-going, extrovertial (in general more than, say, north and Scandinavic Europeans;) and lovely people that, once they get to know you, would give their arm and leg for you, should It prove necessary and useful (they're quite sharp, mind you).
A random thought, when I saw the photograph of Nancy (from the World Scout Jamboree), was that how peculiar it is the notion and perception of life and death ... across the globe.

Slovenia-ns largely, whilst being predominantly morbid and thus catholic (or is it vice-versa?;), believe and practise the solemn, grim-reaper-is-on-my-back...-or-will-be-if-I-don't-honour-my-cousins'-great-grandmother's death-anniversary sort of "worship". You can get a better idea of what I'm talking about by google-ing France Prešeren - acknowledged by many to be Slov. biggest (em. greatest as well:) poet ... WE CELEBRATE THE DAY OF HIS DEATH! Um .. why?

Mexicans and few others (nuba, aborigini, mayas, ....) celebrate death as a point in the lifes of the living and as a conclusion of one circle of the life of the deceased. They have the holiday of the dead, dia de los muertos, upon which they give each-other chocolate skulls, they dress up and, in all, celebrate the lives the deceased had been living and thus honouring them. I believe they, at the same time, cherish and praise the life as such and the fact that they are still part of the living + to drive death or better, The Grim Reapers away from the ones they care about.

Now ... where would you rather live? Or better - which philosophy would you choose to govern your own life?
I've chosen, via my dad, the latter philosophy ... which somehow doesn't tie in well with all the mourning (and moaning) and melting-the-rock-and-steel-church-at-the-cemetary-down-with-the-blaze-of-as-many-candles-one-could-still-afford.

for short .. for sure ... for real ... for us/me:)

mja - na kratko.
Skotska je bila d best. Anglija in Skotska sta bili napacna odlocitev .. po svoje. Ampak ... Osebna legenda (P. Coelho) je pač svojeglava zadeva in jaz živim svojo ... zato se vseeno ne sekiram - sedaj, ko sem spet sprejet med Študenstko srenjo.
Is-land - dia best... Objavim fotko, ko bo vreme - ah, zdej:

Vec pa naslednjic:)
