Kevin Six published in Mother/Daughter Monologues

I have been published -- again. This time by the International Center of Women Playwrights. I am now a member of that robust organization (as well as the Women's Caucus for Art, San Diego) though I am not in possession of a uterus. And I was granted honorary membership in both organizations for my writing skills.

Sales of the book, Mother/Daughter Monologues, benefit the ICWP and its programs. The book will be available online through Amazon and Barnes & Noble soon but is already up on the Center's Lulu Website. See it here.

My monologue was written for my friend Miriam Neigus and is featured in Volume 1: Babes and Beginnings.

Hope you like it.

Staged Reading With Fights 6:00 p.m. 12/11/09

My Play, The Art of Love, will be produced in 2010 but before that, I want to hear it read. This will happen, informally, on December 11, 2009 at Swedenborg Hall. Here is all the information:

The Play
There are seven women and two men playing 14 parts. The play takes place alternately in the "real" and a "fantasy" world. The theme is how women fight. There are at least five opportunities for stage combat for women.

The Rules of Engagement Website

The Place
Swedenborg Hall is the artistic center of the Swedenborgian Church of San Diego. Don't worry, it's not "churchy" they embrace all beliefs. Their website.

The Event
The very informal event will be from 6 to 8:00 p.m. and include:
Information from the playwright and director;
Some fun, safe, stage combat for whomever wants to participate;
The reading (everyone who wants to will be allowed to read with role-sharing);
A post-reading discussion.

The Things We Want To Know
1. What is the look, feel and culture of the "fantasy" scenes?
2. What types of stage combat would be fun to see?
3. What is the feasibility of producing the play?
4. Without re-writing the play, what did you like/dislike and what would you change?

Why I'm directing it...

Next
came Kevin Six’s LOVE UNREQUITED: AFTERNOON (ASIAN GALLERY).  This
piece was the second of three of Six’s gallery pieces spread out over
the festival, one per program.  While I’ve heard that the other two
galleries – MORNING (AMERICAN MASTERS) and EVENING (EUROPEAN GALLERY) –
are contenders for Best of Fest honours when the votes are tallied at
the close of the festival, this one was unfortunately not well served
by a set of four actors with utterly different acting styles ranging
from the understated and breathy, through the monotone, and into the
over-emoted.

About The Art of Love...
Swedenborg Hall is transformed into an art gallery, with the action happening on the main floor where the audience usually sits. Audience members are seated on stage and around the perimeter of the space so they can feel like flies on the wall, witnessing the profound, dramatic and sometimes funny way people react to art and each other.
