Starting to make some small moves in the studio. Also been working a lot of full days in the print shop with Randy on the Kentridge photogravures. Reading Beckett, Mayakovsky, Genet. Watched “The Bicycle Thief”, Chaplin’s “The Kid” and “Immigrant”, etc.
Made a miniature stage set in the corner of my studio from performance fragments. Made two puppets- a bird and a figure- out of wire and paper.

Here’s an edit with things more condensed, and with titles.
Watched the wages of fear, also watched La Bête Humaine by Renoir. I like Jean Gabin’s acting, but more so in the films by Carne. want to watch Port of Shadows soon as well. But I think I will look into Chaplin a bit first.
Read “Six Drawing Lessons” the book version of Kentridge’s Norton lectures at Harvard (xmas gift). Next on the reading list is “The Thief’s Journal” by Jean Genet.
Also got a dvd set of all of Georges Melies films and shorts, so I need to start taking a look at those.
