A Dancer’s Journey- Sitara Masilamani Love for the Stage

Sitara's fascination for dance emerged at the tender age of four when she was introduced to ballet by her mother. Despite not becoming an en pointe ballerina as she had initially dreamed, she found herself irresistibly drawn to a style of dance known as heels. This sensual, provocative form of dance, practiced in 4-inch stilettos, combines elements from various dance styles such as jazz, modern, ballet, and floorwork. It celebrates the strength, flexibility, and divine femininity of women. Under the expert tutelage of celebrated choreographer Mitchell Kelly and his MKS Jewels program, she honed her skills, learning complex choreography and evolving into a powerful performer. The program also offered her the platform to perform in showcases and create visually stunning performances.  Sitara OnlyFans

On a magical evening of October 28, 2023, the stage was beautifully adorned to showcase the mesmerizing talent of Princess Sitara and her unique fusion of Bollywood and heels dance. The choreography, meticulously crafted by the renowned Saleena Kamakar, was a remarkable blend of vibrant jazz and captivating Bollywood styles, carefully synchronized to the enchanting rhythm of 'Mayya' by the legendary AR Rahman, accompanied by the soulful voices of Maryem Tollar, Chinmayi Sripada, and Kirti Sagathia. The song 'Mayya,' which symbolizes the purity and fluidity of water, perfectly captured the essence of her performances, as she effortlessly embodied grace and elegance with each move she made on the stage. It was an extraordinary celebration of artistry and talent that left the audience in awe, as Princess Sitara’s captivating presence and exceptional dancing skills transported everyone into a world of pure magic and joy.

Her mission is not only about dance; it goes beyond that. It is about empowering and inspiring South Asian women to wholeheartedly embrace their sensuality, beauty, and femininity. Through her captivating performances, she aims to ignite a fire within women, encouraging them to express themselves freely while proudly representing their rich and vibrant culture. As she now resides in the United States, she is determined to weave the intricate threads of her Indian heritage into a mesmerizing tapestry, showcasing the depth and diversity of her roots. Join her on this remarkable journey of self-expression and cultural celebration. Sitara California

Through her innovative fusion, she not only pays homage to the intricate beauty of these vibrant cultures but also leaves an indelible mark on the ever-evolving landscape of the music industry. Get ready to embark on an unforgettable journey as she redefines the realm of music, igniting your senses and stirring your soul with every beat and movement

Princess Sitara embarked on her professional journey in the city of Los Angeles, starting out as a model and garnering attention in numerous music videos, most notably the wildly popular 'Jalebi Baby' by Tesher and Jason Derulo. This opportunity served as her gateway into the professional dance industry of Los Angeles, and she received strong encouragement from leading choreographers to chase her dreams of acting. Despite starting out with minimal formal training, she committed to honing her craft by enrolling at Santa Monica City College, where she studied ballet, jazz, and modern dance to establish a robust foundation. In addition, she attended Mitchell’s heels workshop and Saleena’s Bollywood class, supplementing her dance education.

Her journey into dance was not without its challenges. It demanded untold amounts of dedication, perseverance, and courage, and she was often pushed to her limits, both physically and emotionally. Yet her passion for dance remained undiminished. Dance became her preferred medium of expression - a way of communicating feelings that words often fall short of encapsulating. It allowed her to create a visual symphony that resonated with the rhythm of music, transforming her into a living, breathing embodiment of artistic expression.

The act of dancing provided her with an outlet to express a myriad of emotions, allowing her to release pent-up stress, negativity, and all the complexities of her inner world. Dance became her therapy, a transformative journey that allowed her to channel not only her anger, pain, and grief, but also her purest moments of happiness, joy, and love. Through the movements of her body, she found solace and freedom.

Beyond its therapeutic benefits, dance served as a catalyst for Princess Sitara to find a sense of belonging in a community of like-minded individuals. It became a space where she could connect with others on a deeper level, forging bonds that transcended words and societal barriers. In this newfound community, she discovered a support system that embraced her for who she truly was, empowering her to navigate through the challenges she had previously faced. Dance became not just a form of self-expression, but a transformative force that shaped Sitara's identity and allowed her to flourish in ways she never thought possible.

Despite not having an extensive background in dance training, Princess Sitara, a passionate advocate for dance, wishes to inspire and motivate individuals of all ages and skill levels who have a dream of dancing. She firmly believes in the transformative power of dance, recognizing it as a medium that has the ability to heal and rejuvenate the mind, body, and soul. By providing a safe space for self-expression, dance offers individuals a unique platform to delve into their deepest emotions, fostering a profound connection with their inner selves and facilitating personal growth. Her mission is to empower and encourage others to embrace the joy and freedom that dance can bring to their lives.

Theater District, Manhattan (No. 3)

In the Spring of 1982, Joseph Papp, the Broadway theatrical producer, and director who had established The Public Theater, led a campaign called "Save the Theatres" in Manhattan. The primary initial goal of the "Save the Theatres" effort, which was sponsored by Papp's not-for-profit group and supported by the Actors Equity union, was to save several theater buildings in the Theatre District neighborhood from their impending demolition by monied Manhattan development interests. Papp provided financial resources, campaign buttons, posters, and newspaper ads for the effort; recruited a publicist and actors to promote the cause; and provided a various stage and street venues for public events in support of the campaign for saving the historic theatres.

At Papp's behest, in July 1982, U.S. Representative Donald J. Mitchell of New York, and 13 co-sponsors, introduced a bill entitled "A bill to designate the Broadway/Times Square Theatre District in the City of New York as a national historic site" (H.R. 6885). The proposed legislation, which was not enacted, would have required the Federal Government to aid financially and otherwise in preserving the district and its historic theatre houses as an official National Historic Site.

The Save the Theatres campaign then turned their efforts toward supporting the establishment of the Theater District as a registered New York City historic district. In December 1983, Save the Theatres prepared "The Broadway Theater District, a Preservation Development and Management Plan," and demanded that each theater in the district receive landmark designation. Mayor Koch ultimately responded by creating a Theater Advisory Council, that included Papp as a member, and which eventually led to the area being officially zoned as the "Theater Subdistrict."

Robert Hooks

Robert Hooks (born Bobby Dean Hooks, April 18, 1937) is an American actor, producer, and activist. He is most recognizable to the public for his more than 100 roles in films, television, and stage. Most famously, Hooks, along with Douglas Turner Ward and Gerald S. Krone, founded The Negro Ensemble Company (NEC). The NEC is credited with the launch of the careers of many major black artists of all disciplines, while creating a body of performance literature over the last thirty years, providing the backbone of African-American theatrical classics. Additionally, Hooks is the sole founder of two significant black theatre companies: the D.C. Black Repertory Company, and New York's Group Theatre Workshop.

Biography

Early life

The youngest of five children, Hooks was born in Foggy Bottom, Washington, D.C. to Mae Bertha (née Ward), a seamstress, and Edward Hooks who had moved from Rocky Mount, North Carolina with their four other children, Bernice, Caroleigh, Charles Edward "Charlie", and James Walter "Jimmy". Named Bobby Dean Hooks at birth, Robert was their first child born "up-north" and the first to be born in a hospital. His father, Edward, died in a work accident on the railroad in 1939.

Hooks attended Stevens Elementary School. In 1945, at the insistence of his sister Bernice who was doing community arts outreach for youngsters at Francis Junior High School, he performed the lead in his first play, The Pirates of Penzance, at the age of nine. From the ages of 6 to 12, Bobby Dean journeyed with his siblings to Lucama, North Carolina to work the tobacco fields for his uncle's sharecropping farm as a way to help earn money for the coming school year in D.C.

In 1954, just as Brown vs. Board of Education was being implemented in the north, he moved to Philadelphia to be with his mother, her second husband, and his half-sister, Safia Abdullah (née Sharon Dickerson). Hooks experienced his first integrated school experience at West Philadelphia High School. Hooks soon joined the drama club and began acting in plays by William Shakespeare and Samuel Beckett. He was graduated in 1956, passing on a scholarship to Temple University in order to pursue a career as a stage actor at the Bessie V. Hicks School of Theatre (alongside Charles Dierkop and Bruce Dern, with whom he second-acted plays doing their pre-Broadway tryouts in Philadelphia) while working at Browning King, a men's tailor shop at Fourteenth and Chestnut streets.

Career

Having trained at the Bessie V. Smith School of Theatre in Philadelphia, and after seeing A Raisin in the Sun in its Philadelphia tryout in February 1959, Hooks moved to New York to pursue acting. In April 1960, as Bobby Dean Hooks, he made his Broadway debut in A Raisin in the Sun replacing Louis Gossett, Jr. who would be doing the film version. He then continued to do its national tour. He then stepped into the Broadway production of A Taste of Honey, replacing Billy Dee Williams; then repeating the same national tour trajectory as he had done for "Raisin..." the previous year. In early 1962 he next appeared as the lead in Jean Genet's The Blacks, replacing James Earl Jones as the male lead, leaving briefly that same year to appear on Broadway again in Tiger, Tiger, Burning Bright before stepping back into the lead role in The Blacks in 1963. He then returned to Broadway, first in Ballad for Bimshire and then in the short-lived 1964 David Merrick revival of The Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Any More (as a character created by Tennessee Williams for this revival) and starring Tallulah Bankhead and Tab Hunter in his only stage performance. Immediately thereafter, in March 24, 1964 he originated the role of Clay in Amiri Baraka's Dutchman. With this play, on the advice of Roscoe Lee Brown, Hooks became known as, Robert Hooks. He also originated roles on the New York stage in Where's Daddy? for which he won the Theatre World Award and he was nominated for Best Male Lead in a Musical for Hallelujah Baby while he was simultaneously starring in David Susskind's N.Y.P.D.—the first African American lead on a television drama.

In 1968 Hooks was the host of the new public affairs television program, Like It Is.

Hooks was nominated for a Tony for his lead role in the musical, Hallelujah, Baby!, has received both the Pioneer Award and the NAACP Image Award for Lifetime Achievement, and has been inducted into the Black Filmmakers Hall of Fame. He also won an Emmy for his PBS special, Voices of Our People.

Significant roles for which Hooks is known include Reeve Scott in Hurry Sundown (1967), Mr. T. in the blaxploitation film Trouble Man (1972), grandpa Gene Donovan in the comedy Seventeen Again (2000), and Fleet Admiral Morrow in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1984). He also appeared on television in an episode of the NBC crime drama series The Eddie Capra Mysteries in 1978 and portrayed Doctor Walcott in the 1980s television series Dynasty.

Activism

Arts and Culture

In 1964, as a result of a speaking engagement at the Chelsea Civil Rights Committee (then connected to the Hudson Guild Settlement House) he founded The Group Theatre Workshop (GTW), a tuition-free environment for disadvantaged urban teens who expressed a desire to explore acting. Among the instructors were Barbara Ann Teer, Frances Foster, Hal DeWindt, Lonne Elder III, and Ronnie Mack. Alumni include Antonio Fargas, Hattie Winston, and Daphne Maxwell Reid.

The Group Theatre Workshop was folded into the tuition-free training arm of the The Negro Ensemble Company (NEC) founded in 1967 with Douglas Turner Ward and Gerald S. Krone with a $1.3 million grant from the Ford Foundation under the auspices of W. McNeil Lowry.

From 1969-1972, Hooks served as an original board member of Black Academy of Arts and Letters (BAAL) (located in New York) alongside C. Eric Lincoln, President; John O. Killens, Alvin F. Poussaint, and Charles White. Chartered by the State of New York, BAAL's mission was to bring together Black artists and scholars from around the world. Additional members included: Julian Adderley, Alvin Ailey, Margaret Walker, James Baldwin, Imamu Baraka, Romare Bearden, Harry Belafonte, Lerone Bennett, Arna Bontemps, Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee Davis, St. Clair Drake, Ernest Dunbar, Katherine Dunham, Lonne Elder III, Duke Ellington, Alex Haley, Ruth Inge Hardison, Vertis Hayes, Chester Himes, Lena Horne, Jacob Lawrence, Elma Lewis, Henry Lewis, Paule Marshall, Donald McKayle, Arthur Mitchell, Frederick O’Neal, Gordon Parks, Sidney Poitier, Benjamin Quarles, Lloyd Richards, Lucille D. Roberts, and Nina Simone.

In response to the violence in his home town of Washington, D.C. in the wake of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s assassination, and aided by a small grant from the Eugene and Agnes E. Meyer Foundation, Hooks took a leave of absence from the Negro Ensemble Company to create The D.C. Black Repertory Company (DCBRC, 1970-1981). As Founder and Executive Director, the DCBRC was intended as a further exploration of the ability of the arts to create healing. The a capella group Sweet Honey in the Rock was created and developed within its workshop process.

The Inner Voices (Lorton Prison arts training program, 1971) proved to be a result of the beneficial effect of the DCBRC in the D.C. area. In response to a direct plea from an inmate, Rhozier "Roach" Brown, who was serving a life sentence in Lorton, Hooks' D.C. Black Repertory Company structured the first prison-based arts program in the United States. While it is the norm now, it was then a revolutionary attempt at rehabilitation through the arts. Eventually The Inner Voices performed more than 500 times in other prisons, including a Christmas special entitled, "Holidays, Hollowdays." Due to Roach's work, President Gerald Ford commuted his sentence on Christmas Day, 1975.

His relocation to the West Coast redirected Hooks' approach to parity in the arts with his involvement with The Bay Area Multicultural Arts Initiative (1988) as a board member and grant facilitator-judge. Funded by monies from a unique coalition made up of the San Francisco Foundation (a community foundation); Grants for the Arts of the San Francisco Hotel Tax Fund, and The National Endowment for the Arts, the function of this organization was the funding of deserving local multicultural arts organizations.

In 1992, Hooks co-founded (with writer Lonne Elder III) Arts in Action. Located in South Central Los Angeles, this was a film and television training center established to guide individuals who aspired to careers in film production. It formulated strategies and training for securing entry-level jobs. Courses included: career development workshops; pre-production and production for film and television; creative problem solving in production management; directing for stage and screen—principles and practices; also the craft of assistant directors, script supervisor, technicians, wardrobe, make-up, etc.

The Negro Ensemble Company of Los Angeles (NEC-LA) (1994-1997) was created because so many New York members and original members had relocated to the west coast. Hooks, as founder and executive director enlisted alumni from his New York Negro Ensemble Company to serve as board members: Denise Nicholas, Denzel Washington, James Earl Jones, Laurence Fishburne, Richard Roundtree, Samuel L. Jackson. NEC-LA's goal was to be a new and innovative multi-ethnic cultural project that strived to achieve the community effectiveness and professional success of its parent organization.

Personal life

Hooks is the father of actor, television and film director Kevin Hooks. He married Lorrie Gay Marlow (actress, author, artist) on June 15, 2008. Previously, he was married to Yvonne Hickman and Rosie Lee Hooks.

[TASK 151: JAMAICA]

In celebration of Caribbean American Heritage Month, here’s a masterlist below compiled of over 1,170+ Jamaican faceclaims categorised by gender with their occupation and ethnicity denoted if there was a reliable source. If you want an extra challenge use random.org to pick a random number! Of course everything listed below are just suggestions and you can pick whichever faceclaim or whichever project you desire.

Any questions can be sent here and all tutorials have been linked below the cut for ease of access! REMEMBER to tag your resources with #TASKSWEEKLY and we will reblog them onto the main! This task can be tagged with whatever you want but if you want us to see it please be sure that our tag is the first five tags, @ mention us or send us a messaging linking us to your post!

THE TASK - scroll down for FC’s!

STEP 1: Decide on a FC you wish to create resources for! You can always do more than one but who are you starting with? There are links to masterlists you can use in order to find them and if you want help, just send us a message and we can pick one for you at random!

STEP 2: Pick what you want to create! You can obviously do more than one thing, but what do you want to start off with? Screencaps, RP icons, GIF packs, masterlists, PNG’s, fancasts, alternative FC’s - LITERALLY anything you desire!

STEP 3: Look back on tasks that we have created previously for tutorials on the thing you are creating unless you have whatever it is you are doing mastered - then of course feel free to just get on and do it. :)

STEP 4: Upload and tag with #TASKSWEEKLY! If you didn’t use your own screencaps/images make sure to credit where you got them from as we will not reblog packs which do not credit caps or original gifs from the original maker.

[sunsct-inactive]

hi all, i think it’s safe to say s3 of stranger things was one huge emotional mindfuck. but what better way to make sense of it all than to toss all of your favorite ocs & canons into the hawkinsverse? below the cut is some information regarding a cool little 4x4 we’re doing in response to our sudden outburst of muse after this very intense season. very minor spoilers below so access at your own risk. enjoy & feel free to apply!

stage i. premise :

it’s the summer of 1995, exactly ten years after the fall of starcourt mall. everyone’s busting out the macarena and blasting tlc’s waterfalls through their car speakers. things seem to be looking up, but locals walk around with shadows above their heads and skeletons in their closets. hawkins, indiana still hasn’t gotten over what happened on independence day ten years ago. many have simply stopped asking questions, others have quelled their curiosities for the sake of moving on after so much tragedy. and when it seems people are doing just that, locals begin disappearing once again. indiana state university student, missy davis, a hawkins native has gone missing after returning home for summer vacation. finding that they all shared a connection to them, eight individuals can’t shake the idea that this disappearance may not be a coincidence.

stage ii. basic guidelines :

all basic rp rules will apply to this group (i.e, no godmodding, drama, etc.)

life can get busy and that’s completely understandable. however, this roleplay needs people to work. four + days of inactivity will result in the reopening of your character. if you need to go on a hiatus, please let us know ahead of time.

being that this is meant to be an extremely laid back roleplay experience, sideblogs are fine as long as ims are turned on. a group discord will be made to chat ooc & keep updated on activity, character status, etc. this will, however, be 100% dashboard only rp. 

the characters in this group should be between the ages of eighteen & twenty-five, seeing as they are connected to the missing person. special requests to play the parent of the missing, a detective/cop, etc can & will be made. canon characters are allowed so long as they are recast to befit their age (i.e, mike wheeler and the rest of the gang should be approximately 24 years old.) you are encouraged to alter the ethnicities of the main cast such as eleven, mike, max, etc.,

some knowledge about stranger things is required. it is prefered that you would have watched season 3, but not required!

no specific fcs will be banned except for unforgivably problematic people (i.e accused of racism, homophobia, rape, etc.)

stage iii. taken characters : [ 7 / 8 spots are currently unavailable ]

[ camila mendes fc ] mallory santos, she/ her. known as the phoenix. twenty-three, missy’s next door neighbor. ( sunsct aka jay, 20, she/her, est. )

[bishiglomper]

Went to the anime convention. Took the nephew. It was nice. I tried to take him to the dealers room because the first panel I wanted to see wasn't starting right away. but it was too much for him. We made it to one stall. Where i let him pick out 10 stickers. They were being sold in sets of 5 and i had picked out one too. Vendor let me have it for free lol. Nephew did a good job even though it was super congested and loud.

We saw Kel Mitchell. He was great. Seems like a lovely dude. 😋 At some point, someone asked him about his favorite burger joint in Des Moines. (Of course it was Zombie Burger) but after that- as a resident of Marshalltown, IA.. I felt obligated to tell him about The Flying Elbow, who just won Iowa's Best Burger. 😂 I literally live on the same street. It needed to be done. Made me anxious as fuck but I still managed to approach the mic. 😮 So I'm hoping to get The Flying Elbow some bragging rights or something. He said he'd check it out, so we'll see. 😂

Will Friedle was after that. Eric from Boy Meets World. My sister joined us for that one. 😋 I was checking FB during that panel and one of the first things that popped up was my former DM posting about meeting Will. 😂 I was like HEY. Where you at??

Also my cousin was supposed to be there as kid Goku, complete with tail. I didnt see him. He better have been there, man. He promised me pictures. D<

Anyway. After the second panel we had like 20 minutes so we went out for a snack and potty break. Saw some cosplayers. The third panel was 3 My Hero Academia VAs. I dont watch dub, but.. I was still vaguely interested. So was nephew. After 2 hours he was a little restless so he kept popping in and out. But he caught some good stuff, they had him laughing. 😁

The panels got increasingly fuller. Kel had a small group. MHA had almost a full house. 20 minutes to the end I'm like "You know, I bet the dealers room is less crowded now..."

So we went back and lo and behold! It was very roomy. Kiddo was able to bounce around to his heart's content. He delighted a few vendors. He was real interested in some monster figures. The vendor was the creator so he enjoyed telling nephew about them. He wore his batman onesie so people were like "Hey Batman, hows it going"

One guy was like "say 'I'm Batman.'"

He pulled his hood down and in a shy but low gravely voice was like "...I'mbatman" 😂 it was cute.

He got to play with some props. Like a giant infinity gauntlet. He got to demo old school Mario cart. He was super dramatic whenever we passed some risque art. Acting horrified and mortified. 🙄😂 then he picked up a 3D printed skull with wiggly spine.. Like "it looks like mortal combat!" The vendor was all excited and was like you're right! ...but maybe I shouldnt be talking about things like that to a child.. I was like, nah, he's corrupted, you're fine. Pfft 😂

Kiddo was bouncing from booth to booth singing All Star. Another thing that delighted people. He was pointing out cosplayers trying to remember names. There was a group of real nice Star Wars cosplayers.

Apparently he spotted an SCP and YouTuber cosplays. A Loki. Lots of MHA and Demon Slayer. Some Ghost busters.

Mom was broke so I funded the trip with stimulus monies. I only bought a bookmark but I had been hoping for plushies or pins.. 90% was art prints and stickers. 😞 Afterward I bought us dinner. I was a bit too hurty and overestimulated to eat much. Even though it was 5 and hadn't eaten yet. Slowly accumulated a throbbing headache thanks to that. 👀

Oh man. This morning was awful.

I dont know if it was my dinner or because i took my weekly shot last night but i had an IBS flare-up. It took us an hour to leave town and some of that was impromptu potty breaks. Had to run back home for more supplies. We stopped to see our truck at the shop so i could transfer my shit to my bigger backpack.

The farmers market was right across the street, where we saw my anime club host friend. She just started doing tarot readings, pour paintings and those necklaces and earrings that have that half glass marble thing. Only for her would I buy a pair of $15 earrings. 😵 ...but they had cat ears. I asked if she made them because you could see some of the filling leaked around some edges. Apparently she used scraps from her pour paintings, so it kinda looked like resin. 👀

Sissy was saying I should embellish her pendants with wire work. She told my friend about my wire stuff. Apparently its only $10 to rent a booth so i might consider that.. Wouldn't be opposed to a collaboration though. 😋

She was saying she was afraid to do resin because it's messy. I was thinking about taking my resin kit and shit and having a play date to play with it together. A kit is $20, i could get her one and we could experiment. I have a collection of resin additives i could bring. 👀 it is her birthday in a week or so..

Honestly the visit with her was the best part of the day. 😅 I love her. I wanna hang out with her more.

I'm exhausted. I couldn't relax enough to nap though. My butt is sore and bruised from sitting so long, my stomach is killing me, i still have a bit of a headache.. My stupid useless arm hurts to use. Lots of localized pain but. Otherwise I think im doing pretty good? It's gonna be such a long ass week..

Con today. Dinner at aunt's tomorrow. Doctor's appointment tuesday out of town. Again on wednesday, but a 1.5 hr long appointment running a slew of tests. Then I'm gonna try donating blood friday. 😵 thats a lot for me 😭

Suvivalssi

Kävelin tuttuja katuja. Pohdin mitenkä hienoa olisi saada kartta missä näkyisi kaikki lähialueen kadut ja polut ja jonkinlaisena päällyksenä siihen kaikki ne mistä olen ja miten usein kävelly.

Kartasto josta pystyisi helposti näkemään mitkä lähimmän neliökilometrin kaduista pitäisi vielä koluta ja katsoa uteliain silmin. Ja vanhimmat jalanjäljet voisivat siinä kohtaa kadota ja ne tutut taipaleet kohdata taas uutena ihmisenä.

Matkalla tuli taas paljon ajatuksia, välillä enemmän älyllisiä, välillä enemmän tunteellisia.

Katsoin erään talon seinämää missä oli vain pieniä ikkunoita ja yhdestä näistä oli jokin rätti ulkona roikkumassa. Tämä rätti taikoi heti mieleeni erilaisia tarinaelementtejä. Tällä kertaa ei siitä, millaista itse olisi tuolla asua, vaan mieleeni tulvi arjen katseelta piilossa olevaa draamaa ja kipua. Mitä jos tuossa asunnossa olisikin ihmiskaupan välietappi. Ei siis tässä ja nyt vaan jossain rinnakkaisessa todellisuudessa.

Voisinko luoda tuon todellisuuden mielessäni ja kirjoittaa sen tarinan. Miten tähän pisteeseen oli päädytty. Ketä nämä uhrit ovat, ketä ovat kuljettajat. Miten tämän tarinan voisi kertoa mahdollisimman suurella määrällä harmaan sävyjä: uhrit, jotka ovat tehneet paljon pahaa elämässään mutta eivät silti ansaitse tätä - ja ihmiskaupan mahdollistavat rikolliset, joilla taas on paljon hyvää elämässään, mutta tämä sotkee hahmokuvausta.

Miten tämän kaiken voisi saada eloon kirjoitelmassa ilman että näiden hahmojen taustojen paljastuminen ei olisi korni. Ei olisi lopun iso paljastus että hyvää elämää elävä onkin pahis ja kurjuutta ja kipua kylvänyt onkin nyt sattumalta kauppatavara.

Introspektionko kautta? Ensin dramaattisten viimehetkien ja -päivien muistelot ja niistä sitten hahmojen tausta avautuisi yhä synkemmin ja epäselvemmin roolein.

E. Saarinen viittasi omiin luentoihinsa referaattimaisina. Kirjoituksina joiden ei ole tarkoitus tieteellisen tai opettavaisen kirjoituksen tapaan opettaa yhtä tiettyä katsontatapaa tai pointtia. Kirjoituksina joissa kuvataan ajattelua, ajatuksenkulkua, ajatuksia ja ikään kuin kutsutaan kuulija, tai lukija, mukaan ajattelemaan samalla. Ja se mihin johtopäätöksiin, kytköksiin tai kokemuksiin tämä luento tai kirjoitus johtaa on täysin kuulijakohtaista.

Tällaisessa pitänee varmaan kirjoittajankin heittäytyä mukaan ja kokea ja aistia hahmojensa tuskan ja epävarmuuden; miten elämä on näitä moniulotteisia ihmisiä kohdellut. Ei voi tehdä juonikuviota valmiiksi koska sen aistii järkevä lukija ja se kuvastaa kirjoittajan aietta ja moraalista mielipidettä. Voi tehdä vain kohtaamisen, alkupisteen ja asetelman ja tämän jälkeen hahmojen pitää itse antaa kertoa tarinansa. Kirjoittajan pitää antautua sille, että hahmot paljastavat lukijalle kirjoittajan kipuja, häpeää, kokemuksia tai haluja. Näiden tyyppejä ei tarvitse erotella tai tarkentaa, mutta niitä ei voi silloin myöskään puolustella tai kumota.

Ohitettuani talon tajusin että minun olisi ollut hyvä ottaa siitä talosta kuva, tuosta kohteesta joka tämän kaiken pani alulle. Mutta minä en halua kääntyä takaisin. Se on kävelyllä hyvin epämukavaa ja vältän sitä täysin. Vaikka olisin mennyt vasta muutaman askeleen ohi tilanteesta, josta tajuan hyvän valokuvan kohteen, en silti ota askeltakaan sen suuntaan takaisin.

Se tilanne on mennyt ja sitä ei voi uudelleen napata. Neitseellinen ensisilmäys, prima facie, on mennyt ja nyt se ratkaiseva hetki, Henri Cartier-Bressonin termiä lainatakseni, on ohi.

Seuraavaksi luennolla mainittiin laulaja Joni Mitchell ja jokin tarina hänestä. Mutta tästä tuli monenmoinen rykelmä muistikuvia joista jokin ajatuspuro johti isään. Näin tulevaisuuden tilanteen, kun olemme kolmisin äitini luona ja radiosta tulee jokin isälleni tärkeä tai hänestä muistuttava biisi ja haikeus laskeutuu.

Huomaan etten edelleenkään ole kovin antanut itselleni tilaa arjessa häntä surra, kun suremisen suorittaminen talvilomalla ei tapahtunutkaan aikataulussa.

Jatkan eteenpäin ja hetken päästä puhuja kertoo olleensa mukana “Elämäni biisi” -sarjassa, jossa piti valita yksi biisi ja jokin kuvaus, tarina, kokemus missä tämä biisi oli merkityksellisessä osassa.

Ajatukset lähtivät etsimään oman elämäni biisiä. Tuli ilmiselvät suosikkibiisit ja oma häävalssi. Häävalssi. Suvivalssi. Tämä ei ollut oma vaan omien vanhempieni häävalssi.

Tähän yhteen kappaleeseen kiertyy niin paljon tunnetta, että niiden kaikkien purkaminen siinä hetkessä tarkoitti, että piti pistää luento paussille ja ottaa siitä ajatukset itselle nauhalle talteen. 

Vanhempani menivät naimisiin noin puoli vuotta ennen syntymääni. Ja koko elämäni ensimmäisen puolikkaan - kahdeksantoistavuotiaaksi asti - tämä kappale symboloi vanhempieni pysyvää rakkautta toisiaan kohtaan ja liiton vakautta. Vaikka oli rankkojakin aikoja ja kireätä monista syistä johtuen, vuosittainen Suvivalssi soitettiin elokuun alussa ja paikasta huolimatta vanhempani tanssivat.

Sinä vuonna kun täytin kahdeksantoista kaikki muuttui. Isäni oli vakavassa onnettomuudesa töissä pudoten selälleen. Siitä alkoi parinkymmenen vuoden kivut ja vain osittainen kävelykyvyn palautuminen. Tanssijaksi hänestä ei enää koskaan ollut.

Silti joka vuosi oli Suvivalssin aika. Joka vuosi tuo päivä ja biisi muistittivat tästä kivusta ja siitä puutteesta hänessä ihmisenä, minkä tuo pudotus oli häneltä vienyt. Monena vuotena isäni teki parhaansa ollakseen edes yhden päivän, yhden hetken ajan se aviomies, jonka äitini oli vuosia sitten nainut. Ja joka kerta tuo tanssi toi rampauttavan kivun ja häpeän siitä ettei hän kyennyt tanssittamaan äitiäni enempää.

Suvivalssissa kiteytyy niin moni asia: kipu, kaipaus eheyteen, kestävä rakkaus, aviomiehen velvollisuus ja miehen vastuu mennä vaikka harmaan kiven läpi. Siinä kiteytyy arjen ja elämän epäreiluus. Ja koskaan enää äitini ei voi sanoa isälleni kuinka paljon arvosti tämän yritystä parinkymmenen vuoden ajan olla kykyään parempi edes sen yhden tanssin ajan.

Haluan jossain kohtaa jakaa tämän äitini kanssa. Mutta en tiedä milloin ja miten siihen kykenen.

Tämä oli mahtikuun seitsemäs päivä. Onneksi olin itselleni armollinen kävelyhaastetta vastaanottaessa ja sopiessani itseni kanssa että mikä vain määrä kävelyä on tarpeeksi. Jos olisin ollut vaativampi, olisi kävelyt olleet suorittamista eikä reflektointia. Olen saanut jo paljon pohdittua ja pureskeltua.

Olen kiitollinen.

Face the Music

Usually, life isn’t that complicated. When she breaks up with you and says it’s not because of your weight, it is probably your weight. When you meet a beautiful woman and she has bad breath, you won’t be able to kiss it away. It’s halitosis, which is bad breath so awful it comes with a scientific sounding name; it’s not going anywhere. Life brings us some hard truths most people don’t want to face. Like this one: Club Nouveau’s version of Lean On Me is better than the Bill Withers original. You can fail on all of your diets or give your girlfriend extra large tubes of Crest, but it won’t matter. Club Nouveau’s version is simply better.

Let’s look at the jam factor, or Jamability, if you will. When Bill Withers sings Lean On Me, everyone sings along. His voice is smooth and easy, and well within your vocal range. But does anybody stand up right where they are and start dancing? Do people even bob their head? No, sir, they do not. When Club Nouveau’s version comes on, after the opening piano stylings remind you they could have done this song the way you (used to) think they should, the drums and hand claps have you moving about, whether it’s bouncing on your toes or the unavoidable head bob, a touch of Go-Go flair to help you get over the girl that dumped you, or giving you the boost you need to make up an excuse to break up with the girl whose breath kicks like Jackie Chan. It’s that kind of song, the rare re-make that surpasses the original, as opposed to that god-awful re-make of Joni Mitchell’s Big Yellow Taxi. I don’t blame the singer, whoever it is, but what jackass producer signed off on that one and ponied up the monies for the studio time for that whiny piece of crap? (I just looked it up: Counting Crows, was it? You know what a group of crows is called, right? A murder of crows, which is what they did to that song; cold blooded murder, right in the middle of the street, for all to see. Hell, the Harry Styles re-make of Big Yellow Taxi is better than that nonsense. You heard me.)

So give an earnest listen the next time Club Nouveau comes on the radio, knowing their version of Lean On Me won a Grammy in 1987 for best R&B song. They also get props for Why You Treat Me So Bad, which became the primary sample for Luniz’ I Got 5 On It, which has Jamability in spades, like through the roof: “I gotta take a whiz test for my P.O. I know I failed cuz I done smoked major weed, Bro!” That shit is inspired.

NEXT WEEK: Why Loose Ends is better than Club Nouveau.

Boris urged to save UK construction industry

Construction leaders have written to the Prime Minister demanding urgent action to protect the future of the industry.

The Construction Leadership Council is warning that without further support nearly half of all companies in the sector face potential failure in the next three months.

Demands to save cash-strapped companies in the construction supply chain include:

Suspend PAYE and CIS tax due to HMRC in April and May for construction and consultancy firms and workers with no financial penalty

Defer/cancel Apprenticeship Levy payments for the duration of the crisis

Government to advise all public sector clients, regulated utilities, and firms in the private sector to expedite cash flow throughout the supply chain

Support the directors of micro-businesses, who currently fall between the support provided by the Job Retention Scheme and assistance for the self-employed

Direct all Government bodies to release all retention monies

Extend the £25k SME business continuity grants scheme to the construction sector.

The sector has also asked for clear and visible encouragement that the production of building materials continues where possible, and that electrical, plumbing, and general builders’ merchants remain open so that the industry can function.

Andy Mitchell, co-Chair of the Construction Leadership Council, said:

“The construction industry is a key strategic sector of the UK economy and is playing a vital role in building and maintaining NHS estates, enabling the transport sector to function, and keeping the lights on in homes around the country.

“It is not an either/or question. The UK economy requires a functioning construction sector that can operate safely during this crisis and will rely upon construction workers and companies to get Britain building once we’ve won the war against Covid-19.

“We are calling on the Government to take these steps not only to save jobs and companies in the long term, but to ensure our sector can continue to function throughout the weeks and months to come.

“The UK Government’s response to this crisis has been bold and necessary. It is time now for it to roll out emergency measures to protect UK construction directly, which is a sector of national strategic importance in good times as well as bad.”
