Bring Your Own Menu - A Puppet Show
THE SEEKER
He stood in the middle of the studio staring at me as I stared back at him waiting for some sort of signal from him. After an uncomfortable silence - for him not for me - he finally asked: aren’t you going to tell me what to do? To which I answered: I’m just waiting for you to take the lead. - GL

THE PROPOSAL
A short Training/Casting Story video about the concept of Bring-Your-Own-Menu - a very important element in the Absolute Theater approach, my work with models in photography and pretty much anything I do.

A day had already past but just recalling the explosion of flavors in my mouth from the garlic pork chop I had made me want to scream as loud as I could - the energy was just too strong to just talk about it. - GL

NYC STORIES: NOT YOUR CLASSICAL STORIES
Collection of One-Act Virtual Theater Plays. Series of short stories about lust, fantasies and the inspiring collective sexual energy of New York City
Series of short stories about lust, fantasies and the inspiring collective sexual energy of New York City.
ABOUT THE FORMAT
Although this series was originally proposed as a collection of Short-One-Act Virtual Theater Plays for LAT Digital Space, I thought I better follow the ideas wherever they want to take me. Perhaps they will end-up as short videos, cross-disciplinary collection of works or - as they were originally intended - short virtual theater productions.

PROJECT DEVISING NOTES
August 18th, 2023
Since I no longer live in NYC, in order to convey the city’s inspiring energy, I first must explore the particular “energy” for each proposed story and to do so, I probably will end-up creating a series of sub-projects “triggered” by the original musing energy.
CALL FOR COLLABORATION
At the moment I’m looking for actors to collaborate virtually in this project. You can either participate as an actor in a existent story or bring your own story (for stories requirements please contact me directly). If you are not an actor but would like to collaborate with the project, please contact me.
There is no charge or pay to participate in this project. If there was money to be made from livestream performances’ tickets sales or on-demand charges, the profits will be distribute equally among the cast of each show. For more information about the business side of this proposal, please contact me.
TRAINING, CASTING AND PRODUCTION STORIES
For the launching of SENSETREAM - a member site or video collection, I’m working on the first videos with stories collected from my years of working with actors, models, dancers, etc. as an acting coach, casting director and director.

creative energy workouts
Creative Energy Workouts are sensory-somatic explorations of a “sensory trigger” with the purpose of awakening the sexual energy and transmuting it into creative energy. The trigger might be a thought, a feeling, a scent, an image or anything that sparks the energy or simply “triggers” our “itch” to explore. Although the objective of these workouts is not to create but to “train the body to awaken and transmute the sexual energy”, there are times when the creative process is complete and the experience is recorded in some form of creative work.
Following the flow of the energy is essential to the creative process. I have found trough my personal work that forcing the energy into a preconceived path or workflow only leads to blockage of its free flow and that of the creative process.
