Sexypink - Vida Mitchell at The LOFTT

A tribute to her father’s bar in Laventille. Ms Mitchell takes a close look at the environment and experiences of inner city nightlife.

[natrome]

this is the "what are the projects that are the foremost contenders for me to work on in my break between finishing SMST and starting lightless labyrinth and silent spiral" post. i want to give a general overview of what they are, the pros and cons of working on them, and how likely i am to dump time into them

this post got /disgustingly/ long, so to spare your dashes, under a readmore it goes

Partial rewrite of Life Out of Balance and add significant material to Lighting Out for the Territories

so, It Is Known that by a fairly wide margin, LOOB and LOFTT are the worst parts of WIAW. they're not complete write-offs, but they have foundational, structural issues that are like. breaking the series haha.

LOOB has one strong arc (annerose's story), which is very grounded and has a natural emotional flow to it, and has a strong thematic throughline. unfortunately it also has one weak arc (reinhard's story), where i couldn't really figure out how to pull together a like. strong enough thematic backbone to make it function as a /story/ rather than a disjointed series of events. the writing itself isn't bad, and there's a lot of things i like about the book (and, furthermore, there are a lot of people who like LOOB the best out of all the books), but this lack of coherency has set me up for major problems down the line. the book is also "fanfic-y" in a way that I would like to resolve-- secondary characters drift in and out of the story expecting the reader to already know and care about them, and events happen in a somewhat random way.

LOFTT compounds all of the existing problems-- reinhard's emotional arc continues to be slim-to-none, secondary characters are given even less development in this novel (except, maybe, muller), the narrative continues to be a series of events rather than A Narrative. it also fails to provide enough setup for the next novel, leaving the alliance side feeling completely bereft of the interesting meaning that the empire side has. most people who drop WIAW drop it at LOFTT-- it's an actively bad book that turns away readers.

also my timelines are jacked to hell and back 😩 which needs a fix in general.

so i would like to fix these problems if at all possible lmao

there are a couple thoughts i've had rolling around in my brain, some of which may end up fully happening, some of which might not.

the first option is to get rid of Reinhard's POV in LOOB entirely. i think this would be an interesting but difficult thing to do: rein is the main character, or he should be, but right now he's just sort of wandering around his own story. i think part of my problem is that i find a lot of other people's reactions to rein easier to write about than rein himself. i think it might be possible for him to have more of an impact on the story if, like in canon, people are recognizing him as this strange, maybe more-than-human force of nature, rather than being inside reinhard's "oh my god let me out of high school" head lmfao.

of course, this is actively counter to my intentions for WIAW as a whole-- i want to provide a humanizing story. (but what does it mean for 'nat rome' to humanize the victor? 🤔). but i think if i do this, i can maybe use that inhuman POV to make LOFTT more interesting, by suddenly being inside rein's head where we weren't before.

the second thing that should definitely be done is, as i said, give fredrica /way/ more screentime and chapters. i think building a contrasting narrative between the musel family and the greenhil family would be interesting and a good way to both get a greater worldbuilding depth in the alliance (get up close and personal with the politics earlier) and elevate fredrica from a secondary to a primary character.

similarly, i think caribelle needs chapters-- the story has not yet had an inside POV on the earth church, and having one i think would move it further into the realm of a concrete and vital plot element rather than something that exists and functions only because it exists in canon.

and it wouldn't necessarily happen until LOFTT, but jessica could also use some chapters. she needs to get radicalized i think.

granted, the issue with all of these things is like-- i can say "oh, i'll give these people chapters" but i don't actually have anything for them to do. which was sorta the problem with LOOB and LOFTT both-- there's just. events that happen because I needed An Event to happen to make the plot move forward to fill the book lol. so all of this is something that would need to be workshopped in a pretty severe way.

as you can see from the sheer volume i've written here, i'm fairly serious about this one as a project lol. i think if i'm going to rewrite these books, even in part, now is the time to do it, because it will set me up in a much better position to write lightless labyrinth. it will give me plot threads to work from, it will give me an emotional throughline that i can draw on, and it will stop me from feeling just plain bad about having to write rein's sections lol.

this would be a pretty ambitious project and i estimate it would take no less than 5 months, but it would also i think be worth that time.

the "alternative" to this is to write instead a whole bunch of short stories that attempt to plug all these holes. but this would make the existing reading-order problem much worse, while not meaningfully fixing the "LOFTT is a total turn-off to readers" problem, b/c nobody's going to stop reading LOFTT to go read a short story plunked down in the middle of it.

[TBD Phezzan novella]

this is also a WIAW project. this one i don't want to talk about /too/ much but it would probably be a dominique-POV side story that gives insight into the political situation on phezzan just prior to the alliance's invasion. i think it's necessary to give phezzan a whole lot more development politically, and there's no way to do that without an insider pov. in general i'd like to answer the questions of

where is rubinsky going and what is he planning post alliance invasion

what is the actual relationship of the earth church to the phezzan govt

what do dominique and kesserling hope to accomplish by putting him in the position of the alliance's puppet ruler

what is UP with that particular weird tangle of relationships [tie into the families overall narrative]

i'd want to keep it short, no longer than something like pictures of decency. if i don't decide to write this as a standalone project, it could get looped in to either the LOFTT added-material, or it would get folded into lightless labyrinth. but since it concerns events that happen prior, it probably makes more sense as a standalone. also it being standalone would make it easier to write, and i (and maybe this is silly of me) really like the WIAW novellas haha. i know they do nothing but confuse the timelines but they feel so nice in my brain

"finish" as in a mirror, dimly

what does it mean for my collection of short stories to be "finished" anyway lmao. there's a bunch i want to write that i think would make interesting additions to the collection, and i want to get the thing printed out, but i'm also aware that i could probably keep writing canon-compliant short stories for the next 10 years and not run out of things to say lol. so like where do i call that book done? what do i put in it? idk. but i like writing the stories and i have a vague list of them that i'd like to get through (+ a mental list of edits i'd like to do to the existing ones) so it might be fun to spend a couple months doing nothing but writing short fics

[untitled arle heinessen/book of exodus pastiche fic]

god. ok. while this is of all of these the least readable (i'm sure my audience is like. 10 people.) it is unfortunately the one i'd want to work on the most lol. i really want to write a verse drama......... unfortunately. the gist of it would be to write out the arle heinessen story as like a commentary on the foundational myth/civic religion of the Alliance, through the lens of the exodus narrative. writing it as a play i think would help me keep the scope in check (sitting down to write a novel i think it would get really out of hand lol), and i want to write a play real bad, and i want to write a verse play real bad, and i think it would be fun to give this project to "the real dietrich bronner" (since he's from the alliance, and is a playwright) and then have a frame narrative of Nat Rome's Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Earth Trip to string up around it.

this is ofc the most self indulgent thing ever lol. but it really makes my brain soooo excited to think about writing it. so i really really want to. even if the end product is borderline unreadable 😂 i'm in my flop era i might as well embrace it lol

finish every hateful instrument

i can practically feel the like 4 people who read itsoh yelling and screaming at me through the screen to finish this one lol. i should. i really really should. i've been working on it on and off for the past several years, and it would be good to just sit down and actually devote my full and undivided attention to finishing it. i love it as a project and i think it's really in a solid place, and having an original novel that showcases exactly what my writing is like that i can hand to people has been something that i have wanted to have for a long-ass time.

the trouble is of course that i have like 4 readers for this project, a situation that is unlikely to change for the better in any significant way lol. so that makes it hard for me to justify working on it.

it's also a tricky and difficult project, and i expect it would take me minimum 9 months to finish. which is a huge time commitment, especially when i do have people waiting on WIAW. at least if i'm writing LOGH fic i'm still theoretically entertaining those people-- that is not the case if i jump ship and go to work on itsoh-verse stuff.

but otoh i fucking love working in the itsoh-verse...... so.

itsoh act 2 rewrite

this is a similar situation to EHI, except it's even less urgent b/c it's not a project that i'm currently in the middle of. i am going to rewrite itsoh act 2 eventually, but idk when the best time to do it is.

the plus side of this one is that it would be /way/ easier than EHI, b/c it's a second draft rather than a first one. I have already solved all of the problems, and just need to put it down on paper. so it would probably be a 4-5 month project, and it would be very nice to have the itsoh rewrite essentially current with itsoh itself (i'm ditching the entirety of what i have for act 3 lol)

the machine that builds the machine

this is a standalone fantasy novel that i want to write, that i have an outline for, that i wrote the first really bad chapter of when i was miserable with SMST, but haven't touched since. (the quick descriptor is like lesbian judasxjesus fantasy industrial revolution labor politics novel lmao.) anyway it would be a very fun project i think, and similar to EHI i would like to have An Original Novel to pass around, but this one got shunted to the back burner due to [gestures] everything else in the whole wide world. the brainworms that made me originally start it have also gone into hibernation, but i think i could get them out of their cryofreeze if i decided that i actually am going to sit down and work on it. this would also be a "i am intending to flog this out for traditional publishing" novel, but like, idk. who knows. we'll see where life takes us lol.

tomorrow ye will get your pay

aka the whale novel. if you haven't been following this saga, essentially there's a fellowship available at a local library that put out a call for proposals for Fiction Writing About Whales using research from their historical whaling collection, and i tailored a novel concept to put in an application for that. so if i get the fellowship, i'll 100% be writing this novel (literary fiction, ~80k words, due in the spring), and if i don't get it i'll 0% be writing this novel. i'll find out if i got it mid october, so i guess i'm kinda writing this whole post prematurely lol

since this one is short and more importantly on a deadline, i think i would have it out the door pretty quickly. but i've also never written literary fiction before. it would be a good break from everything else i think, and this, of all the projects, would be a good step in my ~~~writing career~~~ (for whatever that's worth, which, afaict, is nothing lmao)

something extremely random not on this list

it could be that when i finish SMST i'll just start writing the first thing that pops into my head, or i'll get assigned something for yuletide that will break my brain and make me want to write a novella, or whathaveyou. anything could happen. your duty, should you choose to accept it, is to Stop These Things From Happening. etc.

~Galleryyuhself~ Punch & Pie. Getting the branding right is very important in any business venture. A sort of non-design, design with perceptions of what the Caribbean aesthetic is all about can seem a bit ironic and kitch. However, customer satisfaction is key and the owner of both Drink and LOFTT’s new business does exactly that. 

Using a punchy type style in cartoon script and quirky coconut tree is part of the ‘look’ with the sensitively inexpensive choice of brown paper stamped bags and eco friendly boxes setting the mood. Who doesn’t buy a punch or get some sort of pie in Trinidad and Tobago? For many it is a right of passage,from peanut to soursop for the drink and weddings to funerals for the latter. These staples have found their way to Woodbrook rightfully named, Punch & Pie. Please do not state the calories.

Some concepts may seem like no brainers, but you still have to hit the price points, the service and the experience. 

Loose ended straw hats off to Mr Ramirez on this one.

As the alcohol abruptly pours in and the memories pass by like new corpses in Your local morgue....one caught my attention. It was back in the day when I was young working as a harvester at Mr. Paul's world renowned organ iz a shun, Paradigm Eye Loftts. The world asked what I thought and replied " We are many personalities and none of us like You". Well years have past and last weekend at Uncle Lazlo's quarterly picnic for paint chipped, disk skipped, who dunnit, best equipped, disco tech, rough necked, misfit, Holly shit, get on with it, left handed nickel slot playing Koala Dragons club, we convened and re-voted. So I, being the power of attorney to this " organahhhsensation, to the findings to the world and said " We have waited, triangulated, hypoexwifelefted, masturbated, and decided.....We like You after all"

Making Stage II: Practicing Upwards

10 years ago, with a pregnant belly, I welcomed the first artist to the Institute. Forward to today, with The Dance and Performance Institute having engaged over 800 artists from around the world through its programs: the founding Artist-in-Residence Program has hosted over 30 international artists and scholars; the annual New Waves! gathering in Trinidad & Tobago (in 2014, the program travelled to Haiti); a Carnival Performance Studies program that grew into New Waves! Mas - which produced for Trinidad Carnival (2019) and Brooklyn’s West Indian American Day Carnival (2017, 2018); and a Scholarship Program offering dance studies to local artists in Trinidad & Tobago, and for Caribbean artists in the diaspora to study dance with leading institutions, artists and scholars in NYC. In 2018, “Making Stage: Dance Curation in Trinidad & Tobago” was published in “Curating Live Arts: Critical Perspectives, Essays, and Conversations on Theory and Practice”, documenting the New Waves! Commission Project. This is the season to take great pleasure in all this activity; this labor. Adrienne Marie brown’s “Emergent Strategies” affirms (and has offered new tools for) many of the practices we’ve engaged as a community over the years. It reminds me to also celebrate and give space for the smaller grand gestures - the E-susu Program, which saw four rounds, allowing artists to fund projects, pay bills, and save; the Malcom Fellowship for the Arts, which has funded all local artist residencies; the many acts by many individuals throughout Trinidad & Tobago who’ve supported the Institute with their presence and support. To celebrate is the birthright of the Institute - to mark 10 years of important work by independent artists for dance and performance artists in and of the Caribbean and its Diasporas.

The Ways. We have built a [strong: agile, networked] community, in which programs have intersected in beautiful and surprising ways: Artist Residencies have been held concurrently with and incorporated into New Waves!; New Waves! participants have returned as Artists-in-Residence, and vice versa; many from each group, and also Faculty, have played for Carnival with New Waves! Mas; Scholars-in-Residence have served as mentors for scholarship recipients; Institutional Partners have initiated Scholarship Programs. We’ve partnered and/or collaborated with over 30 Caribbean-based organizations including the University of Trinidad & Tobago/Academy for Performing Arts (a main partner for New Waves! Institute for 8 years), University of the West Indies, the National Council on Indian Culture, Alliance Francaise, Jouvay Ayiti, and when in Haiti, with Haiti Cultural Exchange, FOSAJ, and Exadans, among others. In NYC, the Institute partnered with Movement Research and Dancing While Black - both powerhouse organizations - to forward our conversation about Diasporic Dance. New Waves! participants have become Staff; and Guest Artists will become Board Members, as will be announced during New Waves! 2020.  

What the Institute has done over the last decade, is create space and a community of intellectual and imaginative inquiry for hundreds of dance artists and scholars of the Caribbean and its Diasporas. Placed within the multiplicity of the Caribbean historical and cultural context - in an organizing principle of ‘Emancipation’ - the Institute has served as a site of creativity, experimentation, and critical thought about contemporary art-making processes inextricably linked to community: how the understanding and formation of sustainable community for the Caribbean and its global diaspora may be supported by art practice, curating and organization. As we look forward to the next decade, we center on the meditation of how to practice upwards. 

For New Waves! 2020, more than 30 Guest Artists are invited to invoke a practice that includes dance, song, word, and play; to create a space where “dancers could dance and be healed from the laborious hierarchies of imperialism and colonization; a space where we could “each re-strategize our own personal vision”. Through four days of performance, movement and reasoning sessions, screenings, communal meals, and informal limes, New Waves! 2020 will explore how dance artists, scholars, teachers, administrators, those in dance production (lighting and costume designers, musicians), and other leaders in the field of dance galvanize, play, workshop, commune, disrupt, engage, celebrate, mourn, heal, and move. Our vision is to embody the depth and spirit of contemporary dance and performance practice in the Caribbean and its Diasporas - in an organizing principle of ‘Emancipation’ - and connect in essential ways that alters and brings out light in one another.

New Waves! 2020 is full of light. Independent of the academy, New Waves! 2020 will be held through a village of creative spaces throughout Port of Spain - including Splice Studios, Trinidad Theatre Workshop, and LOFTT Gallery. Guest Artists include: Catherine Denecy with a performance installation, E G O that will run the course of New Waves! 2020; Dr. Ras Mikey C, who will lead a workshop in Ethio-Modern Dance; Adam Ade Ola, will lead Ori Bata and Jean-Sebastian Duvilaire, Haitian Dance (both engage live singers and drummers); Rennie Harris, with House Dance, featuring a live DJ; Michelle Gibson, with Second Line Aesthetic, which returns to New Waves! in a special iteration for the Emancipation Day Procession; and a Ronald K. Brown/EVIDENCE workshop in Contemporary Dance, taught by Arcell Cabuag. New Surfers include Jamie Philbert, with Kalinda Technique, Shamar Watt, who will lead a workshop Contemporary Dance and perform along with another new surfer, NIC Kay, on a program that includes Sheena Rose, Akuzuru, Fana Fraser, Neila Ebanks, and new work by Sonja Dumas’ Continuum Dance Project. Three films will be screened in a separate program: Millicent Johnnie returns to New Waves! with La Diablesse and Bamboula is Not Bamboozled, and Maya Cozier will screen She Paradise. And finally, the Pearl Primus Archive Project returns to New Waves! 2020. Full of light. 

New Waves! 2020 kicks off with an Open House on Wednesday, 29 July at 7pm at Splice Studios, located at 7 Francis Road in Maraval. 

Let’s Dance!

SEXYPINK Reviews: I went for a drive and Never Came Back - Tracey Johnson

(Solo show) LOFTT Gallery Roselino Street Woodbrook

October 6 -20th 2023

…………………..

A ditty of Bruce Springsteen and the title of a recently completed Solo show by the prolific Tracey Johnson at Loftt in Woodbrook discusses a restless spirit. Springsteen croons ‘ride, and never went back, Johnson, ‘drive, and Never Came Back’.

Whatever the lyrics Miss Johnson has single handedly shown why going to Art shows matter. Her Hyper Realistic, Expressionistic Abstractions are thought provoking masterful works. 

Her technical skills are so on point that as you stand next to her girl smiling or red devil, it takes a few seconds for ones thoughts to wrap around the fact that these ARE NOT photographs.

Even more so, her decision to deliberately toy with reality by blurring, marking and splattering heightens the delightful drama on the canvases.

For example her egg drop sun and black drizzle over the La Basse image could be gimmicky in any other hands.

Miss Johnson triumphs here by instinctively being in synch with every single brush stroke she renders. She gives just enough shift from Realism to Fantasy as can be seen in Maracas beach where her sun is a child’s playful scrawl.

What I appreciate most about I went for a drive and Never Came Back is its unexpected candor on life in the tropical paradise that is Trinidad and Tobago.

Overlaying frenetic markings on captured moments, defining the happenstance of one’s input like a diary or a witness to the mundane (beauty) likened to the simplicity of  driving on a dark night - is all done with an ease, an exceptional understanding of painting. It is a comprehension fraught with the discipline of getting out of the way and letting the energy come forward as she does - not simple or easy at all.

Everybody has a hungry heart, Springsteen sings and Miss Johnson’s heart beats for us in her work. One of the most impactful shows of 2023 so far.

Lift trucks are dangerous

So. I work in a large store, right? So sometimes, we need to use lift trucks, yeah? You with me?

There are so many people who either don't know how dangerous they are, or literally WANT to die. That's the only explanation for why people decide that walking RIGHT NEXT TO THEM WHILE THEY ARE MOVING or RUNNING RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM WHILE THEY ARE MOVING is a good idea.

So, I'm going to teach you some things about the two most commonly used machines in my store.

This is the forklift. It is called that because it lifts stuff with two forks. It is rear-wheel drive, and those wheels are also the ones that turn. The whole mast tilts, and there is also a cage on top to prevent the driver from being hit by large falling objects.

The dangerous part is the fact that the thing weighs 13,000lbs (roughly 6-7,000kgs I think). That is WAY more than your average car. It can actually loftt pretty much any car most people drive.

If this runs over someone, that person WILL be seriously injured, and could very likely die. It is extremely heavy, and sometimes, the brakes aren't the best. DO NOT run in front of a moving forklift. Ever.

This here is a reach truck. It is different from the forklift in a few key ways. It is smaller, it is battery powered, and it is lighter. It is called a reach because the forks can extend forward, or "reach".

Rear-wheel drive, back wheels pivot, but you can turn and drive in any direction easily enough. It can be tricky to get the hang of the steering, but it's possible.

This thing weighs about 8,000lbs (3,600kgs). The wheels are hard plastic. If it runs over your foot, there is no chance of recovery. You WILL lose the foot. If it runs over your whole body... Same deal.

Again, sometimes the brakes don't work as well as they're supposed to. It can take several feet to stop if the driver doesn't do something extra to stop it. (Maximum distance should be 6 feet until it stops. Some of our machines take up to 10 feet. Not OSHA compliant, but it's very expensive to fix).

Both of these machines have the power to completely destroy the entire store. They can collapse the entire building. Take that into consideration before you start walking in front of one willy-nilly.

EVERY PERSON who drives these machines has passed a class in order to drive it. There is a spotter walking in front of the machine to move people out of the way, or to signal the driver to stop. But some people decide to wait for the spotter to pass, and then walk in front of the machine. DO NOT do that. The driver could be watching a small group of children in the side of an aisle, and is not watching for a grown person who should know better than to walk in front of a moving machine.

It is for this reason that we close off two aisles when lifting/dropping a pallet on the shelf. If the driver makes a mistake, something could drop on the other aisle. If someone was under such an item, they would be hurt or killed, depending on what's dropping.

PLEASE KEEP BACK FROM MOVING MACHINES. THEY ARE NOT SAFE TO BE NEXT TO. NOT EVEN FELLOW WORKERS ARE ALLOWED TO BE NEAR A MOVING MACHINE.

The Pivot

~Galleryyuhself~ Today I take a look at one businessman doing his best with the ups and downs brought on all of us in the world because of covid-19.

                       ..............................................................

One businessman, two very different approaches to two restaurant concepts. Covid-19 has taught us all to pivot. After many successful years of being on the avenue of Woodbrook with Drink Lounge and Bistro and LOFTT Gallery, Dale Ramirez has two new ventures called Calabash Garden and Punch & Pie.

He has gone for one elegantly casual and one down home bakery based approach. The use of solid colours and type styles lead the way for both Caribbean pallets. 

He leads the way in fighting the good fight in a very difficult situation. He has also possibly single handedly shown us what can be done with a great vision and a never say die attitude.
