Blue blooded Vagina Warrior + BigWig Theater Blues + Going Solo



Because I am a blue blooded VAGINA Warrior.

And proud of it.

Yesterday, I finally got the slot as organizer for next year’s performance of the Vagina Monologues, which would serve as one of the highlights during the celebration of March as Filipino Women’s Month and March 8 as International Women’s Day. It’s a long way off, I know, and yet I’m busting my head in trying to hold all the ideas that are rushing forth.

this year’s performance was very good, and as how things are, I would like next year’s to be even better and bigger than last year. Question is, am I man enough for the job?

Last night, while I was thinking about it, I was able to laugh on how crazy I must seem to people, or how twisted my mind could be at times. At some point last night, I laughed when I realized that I could say that I am working for Vaginas, which I currently am doing. And I do love it.

Theater stuff like this makes me remember of how it was with dear ole BIGWIG. It was a short run, I have to admit, but if it comes to passion, even the shortest time could burn up so much creative juices and fuel. Bigwig, born from the shared passion of brother lazarusmoth and sister amijan, gave me memorable experiences. Being light and sound director was not bad, considering we were starting from scratch. Whew..i miss those days….

Now here I am, more than two years after the last staging of Sartre’s NO EXIT, 500 kilometers away from home, all alone.

Am I man enough to do it?

Well…

I am a blue blooded Vagina Warrior, and as long as there are Vaginas out there, I am gonna make it work.

p.s. to those who thought that being a Vagina Warrior was being disrespectful, oh dear, poor you.

p.s. # 2. im outta here
