   Delores Fisher near the IMDb yacht San Diego Comic-Con 2017 An August hello and shout out to my international audience, particularly all of you new and continuing readers, in Singapore, South Korea, Spain, and Brazil!      San Diego Comic-Con International: Star Wars was a popular theme San Diego California weather turned warmer just in time to greet Comic-Con International 2017. This year, I met such a diversity of people in harmony that I immediately posted on  Sonictapestry: https://sonictapestry.wordpress.com/2017/07/21/delores-fisher-san-diego-comic-con-2017-post-1/                                                 Cosplayers (and me) And, my observations about ways in which Comic-Con attendees with a disab...

KL Brisby, William B.J. Robinson, Delores Fisher, Paul Arajo San Diego Fringe Festival 2017 presented another definite hit show with the cast of  K. L. Brisby's historically researched script "The Yellow Hell of Vincent Van Gogh: a memoir of music and blood." KL Brisby and Gingerlily Lowe are San Diego theater icons. I met them approximately 30 years ago when I was cast as Uncle Remus in a show with Brisby. It was a slightly controversial yet innovative theater story project. As I remember it, lead male actors pulled away from the show due to socio-cultural community "fall out." Encouraged to try the role, I helped to create a cross generational/gender role. Uncle Remus-a male character based on the Joel Chandler Harris Uncle Remus folktales, is played as an aging slave almost 80 years old. The musical played to a packed house for children and adults every show. As with my stage work at other theaters and with so many other nationally acclaimed Sa...

Lacresha Berry and Delores Fisher after show conversation San Diego Fringe Festival is noted for choosing innovative performers with a message. The second dynamic one woman show that I saw at Fringe Festival San Diego was Harriet Tubman portrayed by Lacresha Berry caused a resonance within me as an educator. Check out the full post. It can be found at https://sonictapestry.wordpress.com/2017/07/06/san-diego-international-fringe-festival-2017-berrys-harriet-tubman/ Other educators in attendance agreed including Fanny Garvey, international educator.                       Fanny Garvey and Lacresha Berry  Oh yea. . .  music lovers, remember the group Mandrill? Well, Pasadena talk show host Debra "Smilelady" and Ric Wilson of the group Mandrill was also in the audience. I enjoyed  talking and sharing upcoming projects after the show.           ...

                     Kathleen Denny Writer/Performance Artist San Diego 2017 San Diego International Fringe Festival is in its 5th year. It's Kathleen Denny's 1st San Diego Fringe. I hope she comes back. Her show, "Nice Is Not What We Do" directed by Mark Kenward is fascinating. Kevin Patterson has another hit series this year from local  producer directors like K.L. Brisby and Gingerlily Lowe-(The Yellow Hell"), national performers: Kathleen Denny-"Nice Is Not What We Do", and international writers, performers, producers, directors like bi-national artist Melissa Cisneros-Mexico ("Juego De Las Microacciones") to Giorgia Mazzucato-Italy "(Lifegate"). Kathleen Denny knows how to plug a show. She is a gracious and engaging conversationalist. I was so excited about seeing the "Big Kitchen-A Counter Cultural Cabaret Take 2" that I had arrived a half hour early. Ms Denny and I sta...

                                                           Poet Olga Gutierrez-Garcia Hello this June to new readers in Australia, Portugal, Ukraine, and Indonesia. San Diego has had a burst of sunshine. For those of you planning to visit, we still have evening fog rolling in and temperature drops; compared to hot days, a few degrees colder is most appreciated. The changing temperature from May/grey, June/Gloom to sunny definitely was a plus for Olga Garcia's reading at San Diego's Cafe Cabaret. I see a flier in my email a few days earlier and consider going to the reading. Olga's new works are full of flavorful and sometimes abrasively juxtaposed images and metaphors. Host Jim Moreno is making sure that people get the ...
