Cracking The Egg.

After much poking, prodding, nudging, hinting, and downright demanding from the odd source or two, I finally relent and begin this journal, or 'blog' I suppose I should say. Hopefully it will evolve into a discourse between like-minded individuals rather than the tedious oozings of an elderly man's boring mentation.
I anticipate being nothing short of honest… dangerous territory in today's world… and, I'm sure, frequently wrong about many things… things that I would dearly love to have corrected.

Much, if not all, of what will be appearing within this 'Blog' will be Arts based, with a particular leaning towards the creation and presentation of theatrical performance.
So, if you believe that there exist no lines of demarkation between any of the performing arts disciplines; that the actor, the dancer, the musician, the magician, the tumbler, the clown, or indeed anyone who freely 'gives' of himself in order to educate, entertain, amuse, or excite an audience, and are seriously interested in exploring Theatre in all it's forms, then I would be immensely pleased to enter into discourse with you.
Who knows, maybe we shall fit the pieces together in exciting new ways and discover new forms. Too many these days are interested in nothing more than the perpetuation of mediocrity and in the fossilisation of the traditional… usually caused by the pursuit of cash or kudos of the performance, rather than the art and craft of the creative process.

To begin this foray I offer one small challenge, which is the name of this 'Blog'. It is but a simple clue to something else… please solve it, and award yourself the satisfaction of discovery.

I look forward, with some small measure of trepidation, to your encouragement, chastisement, approbation, even devilment, in pages to come.
