Greetings to all friends, including those from Staten Island, Brooklyn, Manhattan, New Jersey, and more distant parts. And to all of our new friends throughout the state of Vermont, from the past five years, here in the state of Vermont.
Karen and I hope you find our new website to be decent.
In this blog, from now on, I want to begin a dialogue on our keyword theme, LOGRES, and the two main branches that extend from that source.
The first major theme will be the wide and under engaged realm of CREATIVITY. How much potential is their in our human society for creative expression, and how much of that talent lies dormant, needing only to be encouraged?
The second theme is the all important keyword concept to us at American Logres Theatre, that of course being LOGRES.
If you have looked over the links from our homepage, you have a good introduction to what LOGRES is all about. My own growth and understanding of this spiritual "climate" change has been growing and deepening since those early days in late 1973, when this 20 year old college student, newly "revived", after my James Dean "Rebel Without a Cause" teen years, was finishing the last of the seven Chronicles of Narnia books, by C.S. Lewis. That book, The Last Battle, ends with the earth children and Narnian friends passing into new lands that are clearly related to the Narnia and the England they knew all along. But not the same. These new realms are "within" the Old, yet larger! Brighter, more solid, richer in color, richer in all of the senses. What Lewis was driving at, though I hadn't yet met his concept yet, (that didn't come until a year later), was LOGRES. The Last Battle- the last 5 pages of the book. What we used to call ,"a mind blower!" And in a so-called children's book! Mind blower! You can trust me on this. Once again. Welcome. Much more to come.
