Trephination for the Twenty-First Century is going on tour!
Dates across the UK have been confirmed, with ongoing talks to take the tour out to venues across Europe, and as the #TrephinationTour's ACE funding deadline approaches, your help is needed to show the Arts Council that mentally ill stories told by mentally ill people are viable investments.
Why is Trephination going on tour?
The mission #TrephinationTour seeks to accomplish is opening conversations about mental health and phenonema freed of diagnostic labels in local communities. These conversations, sparked by the show, will be facilitated in care conversations following every staging and in workshops where Amanda will guide participants through expressing their own subjective experiences.
Why should I donate?
The projected budget for the #TrephinationTour to pay participating artists a living wage is around £20,000, and the more outside funding Arts Council England sees going into the tour, the more likely they are to invest in fully funding the show. Any amount is a show of faith in the mad liberation work of this tour, and truly makes a difference.
How will I be credited?
If you provide it, your name will be listed in the programmes handed out at performances and in the collection of "trephinations" written by audience-participants in workshops at participating venues.

” Am I not right to weep? O my children, cursed children of a hateful mother - ”
#medea#my art#cw blood#cw mild nudity#euripides medea#greek tragedy#greek theatre#this play is Female Rage by excellence#hmm yes the blood of her sons on her face hands breasts and belly the parts of her body that her children knew the most yes indeed#im really proud of this#:)#lots of symbolism here#the red shawl is her hate while the black one is a mourning blanket#it's dwarfed by her heartbreak which enveloped her whole and bears no blood bc it's already red#her eyes are golden like Circe's who's her kinswoman#the handle of the dagger is Jason who isn't explicitly wounded by her but drove her hand (the blame of the murders actually befalling him)#<that's why it's not bloodied unlike the blade which was used to hurt#her tear washed down the blood on her cheek representing her being absorbed of her crime by both the gods and her grief#on the mural behind her is Medea enchanting the dragon while Jason steals the Golden Fleece#and above (right) is Hera and Iris and (left) Helios in his chariot#with female chorus masks lamenting Medea's crime like the chorus in the play#the pose and expression are inspired by the poster for Médée by Mucha for the Théâtre de la Renaissance starring Sarah Bernhardt#overall proud of this#i think women deserve to go a little mad and violent when they're angry. as a treat#anyway thanks Euripides for the 500bc feminism

In my manner of doing it there was, I now see, something of cruelty. I seemed to wish to keep him to the point of his madness—a thing which I avoid with the patients as I would the mouth of hell. (Mem., under what circumstances would I not avoid the pit of hell?) Omnia Romæ venalia sunt. Hell has its price! verb. sap. If there be anything behind this instinct it will be valuable to trace it afterwards accurately...
-Dr. Seward, Bram Stocker "Dracula"
I will be playing Dr. Seward in an upcoming small theatrical adaptation of Dracula (the book, we're not doing the mina Dracula romance), and am really proud of how my make-up and wig turned out!
If you happen to be near Witten WERK°STADT on the 1-2.02.25 or Oberhausen Lito-Palast on 22+23.03.25, you can catch our performance.
Tickets are available under www.blackstage.info

Gwen had to say “will you adopt me” to Jessica Drew when they first met because any other dialogue option would have had Gwen being Extremely Gay at her and they could only get away with so much queercoding

No matter how many times I go to go see Furiosa, I know that I'll never outwatch Mr Hideo Kojima. Man has been in the theater watching Furiosa every time I open Instagram. The absolute madman is single handedly funneling half of the movies budget back to George Miller.
I saw a comment that said "Furiosa is his Bible, and George Miller is his God." And its the MOST accurate thing I've ever seen
#mad max#furiosa#hideo kojima#george miller#all the comments are asking if hes got a sleeping bag at the theatre#how can i call myself a real fan when Hideo Kojima exists??

two questions to ask yourself when you start looking for pre-christian material in medieval literature:
1. when are these texts from
2. when did christianity come to this area
i can guarantee you in the vast majority of celtic-language sources (and others) the answer to 2. is several centuries before 1. and at that point you gotta ask yourself... how likely is it that these people would be writing about something that has not been a thing for them or anyone they know for, like, four hundred years (or, in many cases, eight or nine hundred years), especially given that most of the people doing that writing are not merely passively existing in a christian society but are, yunno, monks
there are exceptions! but there are way fewer exceptions than you think there are gonna be! and the exceptions are almost always extremely nebulous sub layers that can't be disentangled from the other layers (which are christian) with any certainty so are always somewhat speculative!
and most importantly those other layers are interesting too, but if you only ever treat them like dirt to dig through to get to something "real" underneath you're sure gonna be disappointed a lot of the time (and you're gonna miss a lot of cool shit that would be really exciting if this was an actual archaeological dig and not a metaphor)!!
#this feels a bit like lobbing a grenade into a crowded theatre#but tbh everyone who is mad at me for saying this has probably already blocked me#given that I've been saying it for several years at this point#i think these days people are so used to religion being a personal thing#they don't really comprehend what it meant to Live In A Christian Society As A Medieval Person#like. we're not talking primarily about faith or what someone personally believed#but how society is structured and ordered and the paradigms its literature lives within#AND WHO PRODUCES THE LITERATURE#education is ecclesiastical. book production is ecclesiastical. literacy itself is in many cases ecclesiastical#the christianity is coming from inside the house#anyway whatever why am i trying#i had two (2) entire sips of wine this evening (i don't drink and don't like wine)#so maybe that's why i'm posting this lol

If there are a million Reeve Carney as Orpheus fans in the world, I am one of them. If there are only two Reeve Carney as Orpheus fans in the world, I am one of them (Eva Noblezada is the other). If there are no Reeve Carney as Orpheus fans in the world, Eva Noblezada and I are dead 😔
#hadestown#hadestown obc#reeve carney#eva noblezada#seriously im sick and fucking tired of the reeve carney hate on tiktok#'jordan fisher is the only orpheus that matters' 'jordan fisher shouldve originated orpheus on bway'#'they should replace the obc recording with jordan fisher' 'jordan fisher was the best thing to ever happen to hadestown'#shut up!!!!!!!#i adore jordan fisher but you are missing the point of theatre and hating on reeve in the process!!!!!#you can have a favorite but that doesnt mean the actors who are not your favorite shouldnt exist in that role!!!!!#but also your favorite is wrong!!!!#reeve carney brought more autistic swag to orpheus than anyone could possibly recreate!!!#he was naive he was soft spoken he was unaware of social expectations!!!!!#jordan fisher has such a raw powerful voice and thats not what orpheus needs!!!!! hes just a lil guy!!!!#hes just a lil guy who accidentally had a battle of the bands with the devil and won#because he has nothing in his brain except sing and love his girlfriend!!!!!#i love jordan fisher in everything ive ever seen him in and i adore his voice but please stop putting other actors down#im not a huge fan of the way jonjon briones plays hermes but im not out here talking shit about him!!@#or saying he should never have had the part in the first place#(btw i was joking about the 'your favorite is wrong' thing because - again - literally defeats the point of theatre)#please find ways to say that jordan fisher is your favorite without putting reeve carney down#and also please give reeve carney a chance and dont dismiss him just because he is less conventionally attractive#and hip in popular media and on social media#please give the role a chance for what it is and not just which actor you already like#i was pissed when i first found out they were taking damon daunno out for the obc and adding reeve#the only thing id ever seen or heard him in at that point was the live action rocky horror with laverne cox#and he was fucking riffraff#i was mad!!! i didnt think he could do it!!! but i love the show and i gave him a chance and now hes my all time favorite#between both touring casts ive seen and the pre bway cast recording and jordan fisher#just please stop being mean and give him a chance

Watched Swing kids last night
That’s all I wanted to say.
#My irl friends don’t like Robert Sean Leonard#QUICK validate me and my little (big fat) celebrity crush#My mom said “Oh yeah I saw swing kids in theatres#I must have blocked it out of my memory.”#I think I might too…. (Block it out of my memory)#I wouldn’t stop talking#My little sister got mad at my for saying “He looks like a wet cat” 5 times#Understandably#I also love Christian Bale but#Not Thomas I don’t like you Thomas 🫵#My sister wouldn’t stop rewinding when rsl said “Fucking”#And I said “WHY?!” And she said “I’ve never heard him say a cuss world before.”#Anyways….#Joonbug journal

do you ever just cry while thinking about how tender creature is with lisa or are you normal?
#something about that peach ring proposal scene just gets me and the way he just looks at her with so much love#granted it could be because i’m really depressed rn but damn does that scene in particular get me#i’m so mad the site i usually use isn’t working for me for some reason rn#and i could go to my local theatre since they’re still showing it but god i’d have to get out#but also god i REALLY need to watch this film rn bdcause it unfortunately is my current comfort film/hyperfixation#and i can’t justify paying the digital price for it while i already preordered the physical copy#save me lisa frankenstein save me#somehow gotta make it to fucking sunday when i’m going to see it again#until then i’m just gonna stare at gifs and cry about how sweet they are#lisa frankenstein#meaghan rambles
