HYBRID 3 DAY EDIT STREAM of RIO ISLAND SHOWS April 11 to 12, 87, CARNEGI...

Good Morning Holy Father, Thank you for allowing me to understand your ways. Thank you for allowing me to understand  your  usage of time, the molding of my clay as you shape me to work  with creative ideas about you, your son, and  how fallen we are in our journey in life. Start, Stop, Learn , repeat. Spirits  attack us daily,  What was Rio Island About Lord, The Dream you gave me 1987 thirty -eight years ago. 
The words  you gave me as I wrote  this play. Then creating a similar Desktop Video Edit of this show early  1992 when I had   that genlock  and Amiga Commodore system, Yet, I taped over the beginning of the show  for another Performance Stream which was an early beginning of NDNs & DOGs, but Stopped at at 20 minutes before I realized I was taping over  that work. Yet it is through your hands that all comes together. To export  20 minutes of what I did yesterday, and to find that original VHS edit the day before was not coincidence. 
There it was as I check out that damaged edit....I push play on the VHS deck, I stopped the accidental recording just before twenty  minutes. And there was the theatre edit of the documentation footage edited with the colour footage of the performance piece. So thank you Father for Al Razutis for being the excellent experimental filmmaker who taught  me, Thank you for the late Kenny Bishoff , who introduced me to Emile Daley who painted the acrylic  painting of the blond  head avec heart and Indian head, I copied over  the killing of the two witnesses, as the false Jesus was painted tainted by the minions of The Devil.  The Archetype couple WOMAN I & WOMAN II continue life in the passive  active space of flesh in God's time. Yes Father , I hear you, protect me, teach me, I feel you appointing and positioning of my journey. Miigweech Thank you  for  the late Warren Arcand ,brought class to this play avec his portrayal of MAN III, a minion of the Devil. And thank you for his  critique an early writing after this play, to keep my vision clear and concise, Another re-write to do, Stories of Redemption of what greed destroyed. Thank you for the late Deborah Charlie, who brough life to the words I shared, as she lived  and survived the evils of man. God bless  her Father. she told me her stories of abuse and hate against her because of her skin, just like my other friend, an indigenous visual artist, performer and producer in community works for her  people and all. Thank you for Colin MacPherson, who brought me into his free acting /directing workshop to work with the people of the DTES then, helping Colin as he gave a voice of  the people through his theatre  directing and teaching. Thank you for Denis Brillion , who brought  the FIRST WOMAN to life, Thank you for Wayne LaRivere , who helped me through Spirit Song Theatre to bring  on the talented actors in this Performance Piece. Thankyou for  Royhaten Town who brought a unique perspective of WOMAN III, a minion of the antichrist. Thank you to Piet van Dugteren who portrayed the Christ figure, who was, is and will be, even when he is portrayed as a lie. Lies today, so many father. 
And now as I see when I created this pieces as a student artist, I did not understand why there is this religiosity  that is in my work at times, but it is through your hands I work, live and wil return to you in your time. Thank you for RIO ISLAND  being reborn today, after ala the attacks, and days of surviving this world we wake and and live  each day you decide to gift us daily Amen.
Good morning all , finally, RIO ISLAND is ONLINE And ready for the digital world in a time of prophecies, false prophets,  evil and good pushing people through a mad world of journeys, rests, and pleasure. Love to all, I do not know what I was thinking back then, but it was what it was XOXO to all. Be kind, have courage amen XOXO
