Happy UK Black History Month! One way to celebrate is by reading An Inconvenient Black History of British Musical Theatre. This book "serves as a salient reminder of the wealth of Black performers who should not be consigned to history." (@thetls.bsky.social) www.bloomsbury.com/inconvenient...

The hands down best piece of media about Dolly is Jean Carlomusto’s 1991 short doc “L Is for the Way You Look,” in which a group of queer women discuss what it meant to (maybe) see Dolly in the audience of a show by Reno (the popular lesbian stand up) at PS122 vimeo.com/166066583

kusama is a difficult figure to place in performance history, but terribly important to it. like ono and kawara she introduced the ideas of the japanese avant-garde(s) to those of nyc; though not of gutai she at times shared that group's interest in doing painting and performance at once. (1/10)

b&w photo of Kusama Yayoi's "Kusama's Self-Obliteration," 1967. two nude men unfurl a banner on the brooklyn bridge walkway with the title of the piece; two nude women touch heads under the banner; kusama, clothed in leggings and a smock, paints splotchy dots on the performers' bodies.

The truly iconic Louise Lasser has died. This is my favourite scene in any WA movie. She said it was entirely improvised. I love her restrained seemingly hesitant delivery, the way they play with rhythm & tone to create spaces within a spiralling structure for barely acknowledged doubled punchlines.
