Le Bonobo-The Women’s Show-for ages 18 and up
A theater production plan by Cedar
As you ought to have gathered from some of my previous blog posts, I have a thing for bonobos. There was a while, when I thought it would be cool to make a movie with bonobos as the main characters. I wrote out an entire script, but it still needs quite a bit of reworking. I’m going to do that one day, but first, I thought I should put together a theatrical production about them.
Actually, it’s not one hundred percent about them.
The name: Le Bonobo refers to the spirit of pro femaleness in bonobo culture, and the fact that there are a number of people dressed up as bonobos on stage.
Throughout the show, various bonobo-like women come out, and the singing bonobos pay tribute to them through song and dance. There will be tributes to Joan of Ark, Harriet Tubman, The Suffragettes, and many other things.
My family is friends, believe it or not, with lesbian singer Alix Dobkin. I haven’t seen her for a while, but I’ve been wanting to.
I plan to write her an e-mail sometime soon, and ask her if she could help me out with my pro-woman plan, by writing the opening song. I’ve already written a couple myself, but I can’t post them here, because one of them is about sex (it’s not explicit or anything, but I don’t want to offend any parents) and I don’t have the words all worked out on the other two.
My poem, ‘The Upside of Bonobos’ from the ‘Poetry’ thread, will be featured as a between songs mini-comedy. The finale song, which I am working on, is basically a reworked version of that poem. It is the last song in the show, and will be the first song on the soundtrack.
In terms of the bonobo cast, there will be two lead female singers, and then a large, mostly female group. There will be some males, but not to many, since this is a women’s show.
The bonobos in the show will be given the names of real life bonobos.
Such as:
Kanzi
Panbanisha
Loretta
Lola
I know lots of others but I can’t remember their names at the moment.
The costumes will be made, by gluing fake black hair onto a black tight-suit (I’ve forgotten what it’s actually called), and applying bonobo-ish makeup to the actors’ faces.
[Anatomically explicit description of bonobo costumes zapped by GAPA.]
The main lead singer female wears two gold bracelets on her right wrist, a peace symbol necklace, and a white cloth with the woman’s symbol on it, hangs from her left elbow.
For those of you who might be wondering, the show probably will feature naked women. But they will be portrayed in a non sexist, pro woman type of way. Most likely there will be a few naked women on stage during the tribute to women in art.
And finally, in terms of mature content, the bonobo cast often engages in openly sexual dances, and spend lots of time doing sexual types of things, which I will not discuss here, for fear of zapping.
Act/song plan:
* Song already named
ACT ONE:
1. Overture
2. Opening Song
3. Song About Joan of Ark
4. Tribute to mothers
5. Song about Peace
6. Hoka Hoka * (this is a colorful word for the type of sex that females engage in)
7. Tribute to Famous Women Warriors
8. The Upside of Bonobos-A Comedic Poem *
9. Song About Harriet Tubman
10. Song About Women in Art
11. Comedy Song About the Human Fear of Sex
12. Tribute to a particular woman (changes each month to keep things interesting)
ACT TWO:
1. Song About Suffragettes
2. Song About Lesbians
3. Tribute to Rape Survivors
4. Song About Abortion Rights
5. Comedy Song About the Fight for Marriage Equality
6. Song About Female Genital Mutilation (more mature content)
7. Tribute to Witches (the good kind)
8. She Walks on Water and Air * – The Trapeze Act
9. Tribute to Brave Girls
10. Le Bonobo’s Perfection * -The Finale
Set plan:
There will be a large white curtain with a black picture of a bonobo on it. This will go up after the Overture. The stage will be black, with a silver women’s symbol painted on the floor.
There will be three towers in the middle of the stage, with spiral staircase leading up them. Each tower will have a statue of an Amazon Warrior on top of it. Water will spout from the Amazons’ arrows.
At the foot of the fountain, there will be a large pool, from which tall fountains of water will gush during the more energetic numbers. The will also be special machines which shoot fire for dramatic effect. At times there may be an entire wall of fire behind the cast. The fountains will douse the flames at the end of the number.
And what’s a great show without a bit of magic? There will be trapdoors, and mist producing machines all over the stage. The mist machines will sometimes produce enough fake fog to make the entire cast disappear. This is probably how they will vanish at the end of the first act. Don’t worry. It’s all non-toxic.
There will be numerous cables and trapezes on stage, and above the audience. The bonobo cast will do aerial acrobatics, and high-wire acts.
Cast:
There will be 30 bonobos, counting the two lead singers.
There will be a cast of 100 extra dancers (dressed in Amazon Warrior Costumes).
Plus the various actors portraying different famous women.
In all there will probably be 200 people in the cast.
How I plan to go about doing this:
First of all, I plan to write to different self acknowledged feminist singers, tell them what I’m trying to accomplish, and ask them to make a contribution, by writing a song to go in the show. No music will be necessary. Just the lyrics will be fine. I have a mind to ask Cheryl Wheeler to write the comedy songs. She has a knack for writing comedy songs.
I also plan to write e-mails to various well known primatologists (such as Jane Goodall) and ask them for advice on how to make it a really good show. I’ll ask them what sorts of dances bonobos might do if they did dance, and what sorts of facial expressions the actors should practice making. Then I’ll set up a fund, for contributions. When I’ve collected at least a few grand, I’ll go from there.
I’ll put up an ad in a drama magazine, asking for strong, capable female performers. Maybe for a joke the ad could say ‘Males need not be strong or capable.’
The Problem:
A show like this would probably receive quite a bit of attention from critics. And hopefully a lot of it will be positive. But I have a nasty feeling that a lot of it will be negative. Right wingers, Extreme Catholics, and die hard republicans will probably say things like ‘This show is pornographic in the sense that it depicts open portrayals of homosexuality.’
People, People, People.
Dances:
There will be various dances from around the world.
Plus, there will also be research done, into what kinds of dances bonobos would do if they danced.
When it will open:
No clue. But it’ll happen some day. I promise you that.
furst post?
hmm, it sounds like an interesting idea.. although I’m not really sure what the bonobo’s have to do with it..
cool! *does top ten post dance*
Well…um…i’m speechless. This is certainly very thought-out and detailed…
Thank you Lord of the Kid Freindly Citizens.
A.K.A GAPAs.
I don’t give a fiddlestick if you never let me p[ost another thing about bonobos.
This takes the cake.
The ‘Girl Power’ thread seems to have lost popularity.
This is a good replacement.
And now to answer Lizzie’s question.
In my next post that is.
Answer to Lizzie’s question:
This is a show dedicated to strong women, and girl power.
Bonobos are girl power at its highest.
Therefor, what better theme animal, then the bonobo.
It’s a wee bit like ‘Cats.’
But instead of singing about themselves, they sing about other women, and about things that women have to deal with.
There are a couple of songs related specifically to bonobos, but not many.
If any of you, particularly the girls, have any ideas for song lyrics, or ideas for the show, please post them.
I’m eager to hear all of your ideas.
If you want girl power, then you’ll love this show.
Omigosh, that sounds AWESOME!
Is this like… Rocky Horror Show meets Madagascar or something? XD
No relly, I think it sounds cool b/c…you’re trying to convey a point, and you’re getting up in ppl’s faces about it – which is usually a good method these days.
Seriously, if you ever get to producing this – I wanna be the first one to get tickets!
about your plan to have a silver women’s symbol on the floor, the audience wouldn’t be able to see it unless the floor of the stage is slanted towards them. or wait, are you planing on presenting this on an arena stage? if that is so, you would want the towers, fountains etc. to be shorter than the first row of the audience otherwise some seats could have a tower blocking their view.
Cool idea though…
o.0 that would be weirder than Beauty and the Beast on broadway. Still, women activsts would luff it.
Wait… I read hrouh the entire thing, and WHAT!!?? This is a porn play!!! Ceader… oh god I won’t even say it….
Okay, I think the idea of using bonobos to symbolize strong women is bodacious and very original, but CEDAR! I agree with CY. This is a porn play! Maybe if you remove some of the more graphic concepts, it could work. But seriously! You’d never get any even slightly reputable theater to play it if you have naked women in it! And what self-respecting woman is actually going to volunteer to do that? The only females you’ll get to do THAT are strippers who- *censors self*. And if the bonobos are going to engage in sexual dances, then make it something that an average parent would let their teenage daughter see.
I’m sorry if I sound like a politically correct, brain-washed Marxist, but please think this over logically before you do anything big with this play.
I know it’s for ages 18 and up, but if you did a bit of tweaking, you could help convey a strong message to the younger crowd- those who are most in need of something like that. You could open their eyes to the world of female equality. Just think.
what has this got to do about bonobos?
13- to add to what Gwendolyn is saying you could eliminate some bits and make a 13 and up version. Lots of musicals have Jr. versions as well as the full length regular musical.
This is not, I repeat, NOT a porn play.
Get yourself a big dissinfectant wipe Copper Yeti, and wipe such absurd thoughts from your mind.
What the heck could give you that idea?
If it was the sex thing, then let me set you straight.
You can put sexual type things in a play or movie, without having it be pornographic.
Porn is all about male power over females.
Porn glorifies sexual violence.
Any sexuality in this play would be presented from a freindly, loving, and proper sort of way.
I hope that clears that up.
If you put naked women on stage, dressed up in stupid, sexist outfits, and have them act like they’re just waiting for some strapping man to come and take them home, that would be bad.
But if you portray the women in a positive, pro-woman, strong woman, type of way, then that’s good.
And like I said, it’s possible to portray sexual things, without it being X-rated.
And it’s not like the actors are actually going to-ZAP-with each other.
They just do things that are suggestive of certain sexual activities.
But it’s all portrayed in a good sort of way.
It would be interesting though, to do something for younger kids.
Maybe I could put together a spinoff version of the show, that would play once a week for ages 10 and up.
It would be a lot shorter, and less mature, but it might be more popular among parents.
Hey Em.
Read post number six for the answer to your question.
I hope all you Muse gals will have ideas for lyrics.
Just check the list of songs for ideas.
I can’t garuntee any of them will be used.
But it will certainly be a big help, and inspiration.
F.Y.I.
This show is not presented in stadium format.
It is on a regular stage.
Did you know?
There is a giant tiger’s head, painted on the floor of the stage, in ‘Cats.’
I found out while watching the ‘Cats’ DVD.
This will be the same way.
It’s hard to see, but its energy is there.
im feeling a little lost, what are bonobos again?
you’re freaking sick
um…………..
PP[oops] PG (21),Bonobos are apes closely related to chimpanzees. Look them up on Wikipedia if you like.
All right, your long-suffering GAPA is drawing a line in the sand. Rosanne and I are tired of hearing about bonobos. From now on until we say so, any post referring to them will be automatically zapped. The Great and Powerful Administrator has spoken.
I looked them up on wiki.. and WTH??? Thats one -ZAP- ape. Disgusting… I don’t see how ceader likes them so much….
GAPA – Why did you call PurplishGlass PP? It should be PG (yes I know, it was probably a typo)…
I thought “Glass” but typed “Panda.” All you purple people can be a mite confusing.
To Copper Yeti:
Dig deeper.
Remember ‘Beauty and the Beast’?
The Beast wasn’t exactly lovely on the outside, but he was lovely on the inside.
To GAPAs:
Thank God you stopped the other bloggers from talking about the actual apes. You would’ve had to kill this thread in no time if they had kept going.
Now we can talk strictly about the show.
I love them, but I agree for the moment.
Let’s stop.
You are good people.
I have an idea for one of the acts:
Fifty women or so, start standing on each other’s shoulders, making a human pyramid.
Halfway through the number, when the last woman is on top, they start changing places on the pyramid without toppling it.
This would require tremendously good balance.
Sounds cool to me.
Any other ideas?
okay….
24- Has the power of changing what the young, impressionable grasshoppers talk about according to their every whim gone to the GAPA’s head? nahhhh..
(sorry, just kidding. I mean, judging people’s reactions have been, most admins probably wouldn’t have even let this thread live in the first place.. I’m just feeling teenagerish today..)
In your case, feeling teenagerish is both fitting and becoming. Carry on!
31- Yeah, I hate it when that happens…
I express shock, suprize, and whats the word for you-are-compleatly-insane-but-this-might-be-an-ok -idea but umm…
yeah…
Just one thing: There were no women warriors of the Amazon. The traditional dress for men of the Yagui language family includes headdesses made out of straw, and the (rather dull) conquistadors thought that they were women. I think the conquistadors had a little to much rum.
You might try the female warriors from The Iliad instead.
OH MY GOD!!!! I don’t think I’ve EVER mixed up To, Too and Two!!!!! it should say “a little TOO much rum” not “a little TO much rum” eeeekkk!!!!!
Uhhmm. I think the show would be a little too overwhelming for me and probably not something I’d want to see….Kid’s show? Maybe..
Well I think it sounds really neat, Cedar. And if it’s ever produced, I can see it becoming relly popula, to the alternative crowd, at least.
I’m talking about women warriors.
Amazons.
Not the Amazon Rainforest.
Go borrow a book on women’s history for God’s sake.
Thank you those of you who support the ideas.
It shows you’re open to out of the box ideas, and your not sexist.
The bloggers who turn up there noses are probably stuck up massaganists.
Got any lyric ideas?
I could sure use some help.
It seems that I can’t see my post…
Ceader, you are fogteeting osmething: 90% of the blog is female, and I myself am Bisexual. I couldn’t be a massaginist If I tried.
Umm… Where did my post go?
DP (43),
If it contained the word “bonobo,” then the blog software automatically zapped it.
All,
Spell check: the word for someone who dislikes women is misogynist, please. It has nothing to do with massages.
35 (Otzi)- Cedar is speaking of the female warriors of Greek legends, not the Amazon River. These legends were based on certain matriarchal Scythian tribes.
40 (Cedar)- You shouldn’t accuse other Musebloggers of being misogyinsts. Not everyone must believe the same things you do just so they’re not called sexist. I, for example, think that this show is an interesting, if weird idea. I don’t think a lot of people would like it, and, frankly, I’m not sure I would. I just think it’s interesting to base a women’s show around apes. This does not mean that I am in any way sexist or misogyinistic. I’m a girl and a staunch feminist. I am not in any way closed-minded. I just don’t think I’d like the show, as I am a writer and exceedingly fond of plot.
By the way, Cedar, are you male or female?
I agree with post 45 that the show might not achieve great popularity among a mainstream audience and I’m not sure whether it’s something I’d personally enjoy, but the idea is certainly an original one and you’ve obviously put a lot of thought into it. I’d say if it’s a project you’re really passionate about pursuing, go for it! : )
Whoops.
Sorry for the spelling error.
Misogynist.
Gotcha.
I’m male.
Pentatonikk:
I based it around these particular apes, because they have have an unatrually high livel of girl power in their society.
What better mascot is there.
Don’t try to persuade me otherwise on that one.
Lyrics anyone?
49 (Cedar)- Hyenas? Elephants?
Okay, shutting up now.
49- I don’t really think it’s that unnatural- I mean, for the first few millenia (okay, I have no idea as to the dates here), according to L. Gonick, humans had women-ruled, goddess-worshiping societies..
Robert Coontz: Ah. That’s what I really hate about software. It’s completely insensitive.
Now I’ve lost what is [IMHO] a perfectly good comment. >.>
Well, whatever. This is a good idea. Don’t let the squeamish right or the Catholic zealots stop you. They’re hypocrites. Be idealistic. =D
(Or, as Steve Jobs likes to put it, Think Differentâ„¢. =P)
Whoops. Should have made it clear I was addressing Cedar in the third line… Oh well.
I’ve got some lyrics..
Let the B*o*n*o*b*o sooooooooooooooaaaaaaaar….
*is pied*
so, since the program automatically zaps anything with a certain ape’s name in it, does that mean that if one were on the RPG, playing, for instance, the lead singer of U2 and addressing a cow (thus saying something like “Bon0 B0, I feel the factoid you just stated blah blah etc.” minus the 1337), or, as a matter of fact, playing anyone and the cow had just jumped off a cliff or something (“Bo! /\/0, Bo!”, again minus the leet) would that get zapped?
Lizzie, I dono no.
Seriously, though, I do know. But I’m not telling. We can program it to zap what we want. Mwahahaha.
I personally think that this will become a cult classic.
Well, let’s try it.
Bono
Bo, I feel the factoid you just stated blah blah etc.
Bo! No, Bo! I doubt that those would count, though, since there are other characters in between. B*o*n*o*b*o works, after all.
See? We’re not entirely unreasonable.
Well Hyenas and Elephants are all well and good.
But b*o*n*o*b*o*s are a hundred times better.
Le B*o*n*o*b*o*’*s Perfection (the finale song)
G= Sung gently/ L= sung loudly
Lyrics by Cedar
Verse 1: G (solo)
Come and hold me
come and hold me in your arms.
Come and kiss me
kiss me with
all your charms.
Show me ho–w
a woman can be strong.
Sing me the Le B*o*n*o*b*o*’s
song.
Chorus: G (solo)
So to hell with all
these patriarchals
to hell
with
men.
Long live
Le B*o*n*o*b*o*
and her sister guided freinds.
Verse 2: G (solo)
I will bring you roses
I will bring you gold.
I will care for you
till you’re a thousnad years old.
But that doesn’t sho–w
how much
I love you.
Show me you can be strong.
With
Le B*o*n*o*b*o*’s song.
Chorus G (solo)
Verse 3: L (solo)
Show me the power
of
the muscles in your chest.
Show me the children
you’ve
fed with your breast.
Show all your lo—ve.
Shine all your li—ght.
Bring all the sun back from
the ni–ght.
Chorus L (100 women singing)
Chorus number 2: L (100 women)
Long live Le B*o*n*o*b*o*
you know I’m gonna say:
She’s absaloutly perfect.
Let’s hope she’s here to stay.
Long live Le B*o*n*o*b*o*
she brings light to the day.
She’s absaloutly perfect.
Last line: L (solo)
And with love she’s here to stay.
Anybody got ideas for other songs?
How bout ideas for the song on Joan of Ark?
Joan of Arc, Cedar.
Hyenas have way more girl power than those horney apes who we’re ot allowe to mention… but for reasons I’m not allowed to mention on the blog.
62 (Cedar)- ‘The Le B*n*b*’s Song’ is redundant. ‘Le’ means ‘the’ in French, so you’re saying, translated, ‘The The B*n*b*’s Song.
I’ll start the lyrics to the Jeanne D’Arc (yes, I do insist on spelling it that way) song, but since I can’t rhyme, someone else will have to work on that. These just popped into my head, and it seemed such a waste not to use them. It seems like a sort of rock song to me.
Thirteen and seeing angels,
nineteen and you’re dead.
You’re living in religion, Jeanne
It’s all inside your head…
And here is Paris falling,
Over there is Rheims
You think that you can save them, Jeanne?
They’re burning in your dreams…
And if France can rise again?
Messiahs still can die
Your angels tell you, ‘Go now, Jeanne’
Do you have the heart to try?
On second thought, that’s a bit snarky. Never mind, I just wrote it spur-of-the-moment. Use it and expand on it if you like.
a certain speicies of chimp has 95% of its DNA in common with that of homo sapiens. but we also have, like, 90% or something of the same DNA as a banana…
We certainly do not share 90% of our genes with a banana. I’ve heard the figure 50% (the source appears to be a news article that appeared in New Scientist six years ago), but I’d double-check that before repeating it. Hm… Q&A, anybody?
Copper Yeti: Actually, lemur society has more “girl-power”; lemur “tribes” are ruled by queens, and the females are basically dominant in all respects.
There is also a type of Japanese monkey that is primarily lesbian… I forget what it’s called.
seamonster: Actually, we share about 98% of our genetic code with apes.
90% with a banana? You have got to be kidding me. What percentage of our genes is used to determine brains, muscle, skin, blood, tendons, bones, and the like? Does a banana have any of those?
There’s also a species of lizard that is all female. They reproduce without males.
None of these animals hold any easy lessons for humans. I’d be careful about expressing too much admiration for them. What works for another species might not work for us at all.
um srry, i dontr have time to read any of this
Number 65.
Thank you very much.
I realized that myself while walking the dogs.
Example:
It should be:
Sing me Le
B0n0b0’s
song.
I’m not going to repost it. So just modify in your head.
Sorry for the error.
Hope you still like it.
Joan of Arc.
Thank you.
65 again!
I think your song is really good.
I don’t think it needs expanding.
I would just put a large instrumental gap between the second and last verse.
On the soundtrack I would make the gap smaller, and then repeat the first verse after the last verse.
And I think it would be better to say it Joan in the actual show.
People might get confused if it said Jeann.
Great song though.
A primarily lesbian primate. That is cool.
I think I’ve figured out what bothers me about so many of these ‘women’s shows.’ While they are feminist, they’re not really capturing the more practical part of the movement. Yes, sexual liberation and the freedom to love whoever you want, be they man, woman, or b0n0b0*, is an important part of women’s rights, but men also deserve that freedom. The less glamourous aspects of the movement, like workplace equality, objectification, domestic violence, and education, almost never have plays written about them, and they could use the publicity. Is it just because a musical about Title IX doesn’t present the proper opportunity for naked women to prance around on stage? If you ask me, that sounds an awful lot like objectification again.
*Sick as that may be.
56- I know how to do that. You go to options, then discussions type it into the little boxes that say either comment mederation(which is all the comments on this blog, you obviously checked “An administrator must approve the comment” under “before the comment appears) or comment blacklist, which deletes the comment(in this case anything containing the word bo-no-bo) without any warning. Am I right?
I heard we share 25% of our genes with a banana. But I got it off a shirt so I would’nt trust it if I were you.
This show feattures songs dedicated to victims of sexual violence, and great women heros of history.
Obviously not all corners of the situation can be given time, but I try to do the best I can.
She Walks on Water and Air
Lyrics by Cedar
Verse 1: L (both lead singers)
She walks on water.
She walks on air.
She moves through li–fe
without a care.
She flies through spa–ce.
She flies
without a care.
The wind b-low-ow—-s
through her hair.
Chorus: L (same)
She can walk.
She can run.
She can fly.
Out in the sun.
She can work.
And she can play.
She is grea—tfull
for
today.
Verse 2: L (main lead singer)
She is l-l-l-leaving
all the pain behi—nd.
She is fl-fl-fl-flying
on to better times.
2 minute instrumental (in show version/ 30 seconds in soundtrack version)
Repeat chorus twice
Fade out.
Show art:
The show’s symbol is an abstract image of a woman flexing her muscles.
The soundtrack cover art, feattures the face of a woman who is half human, half bnbo female. Both are wearing personal microphones.
By the way:
I don’t love b-on—-ob–bos in a romantic way.
Just in an “I’m your greatest fan” sort of way.
Good songs. How long did they take you to write?
I wrote them before this thread was started.
I put them together bit by bit over a few weeks.
Glad you like em Jadestone.
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!
We’ve reached 300 posts on the original ‘Muse Movie’ thread.
Go post something to party.
Okay. I’ll bring pie.
Hey Jadestone!
Thanks.
I’ve been wondering ever since this thread got started:
Is there some sort of machine that you could sing into, and it would rate the content of your singing ability?
My favorite singer is Erik Karol, and I’m sure he would rate 100% in all areas of singing ability.
I wondered, because I want to find a top notch female singer to play the lead singing-you know what-in the show.
No, unfortunatly. Our only judges of voice ability are other people, who all have different opinions on those matters.
Oh well.
I suppose it’s good to have a singer pickled by a human judege, instead of a machine though.
Huh…
This play looks a little… iffy. I know you don’t mean it to be a weirdo play, but many will portray it as such. If you were planning on completely nude women, maybe giving them a little cover would be a wise decision. Or maybe I’m just a prude.
This is stilla crazy (good) idea. Keep mulling it over.
The most nudity there would be, would be barechested women, with complicated makeup to make it look as though they’ve cut off one of their breasts. Like Amazon warriors did to make it easier to shoot arrows.
These women would wear metal skirts, and carry bows and arrows.
Fully naked women, would be percieved as pornographic.
Don’t worry. That’s not in my plans.
Naked-ness doesn’t necessarily make for pornogrophy.
/random point.
Exactly Zallie.
That’s what I’ve been trying to say.
It’s all in how you portray it.
When you go to a museum of fine art, and see some nude painting, your first reaction, probably isn’t ‘XXX!”
I never suspected a thread like this, would reach nearly 100 posts in just a few days.
It just goes to show, controversy sells.
comparing women to bo! no bo! s is sextist
Saying a woman is b-so-so-ish, means she is strong and capable and could kick any man’s ass in a nonosecond.
Last time I checked the dictionary, that didn’t sound like sexism.
AGAIN. CEDAR: There were no Amazons!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay Otzi. Maybe there weren’t any women warriors who called themselves Amazons spacifically. Perhaps that’s just a name that society invented for them.
But there have most certainly been many strong, courageous, and brave female warriors in history, and that’s what being an Amazon means.
It’s the thought that counts.
yeah…I guess. but i am a stickler for accuracy. Mabye if you said they were a metaphor in the production…
I’ll shut up now.
100 posts!
Yahooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-STOPRIGHTTHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Darn, no use.
Fact about soundtrack:
In the stage version, most of the songs feattture large b-bleep-o choruses. In the soundtrack version, the majority of the singing, is done only by the two lead singing women, and the main backup singer man.
Only a couple songs featture the chorus in the soundtrack version.
The soundtrack will have a different feel then the stage version.
Yesterday I sent an email to b-bla-bla-o expert Frans De Waal at the univerity where he works. With any luck, I should be haring back from him sometime soon.
I’ll tell you if he writes.
Please forgive me if I don’t come here as often.
The new Muse Movie thread is up, and it’s just wonderful.
I’ll still come here. Just not as often.
A lot of shows seem to have some sort of ‘strong man’ thing in them. I think there should be a strong woman act in this show.
The strong woman would hold up a big platform above her head, while a bunch of people danced ballet on it.
That would be neat.
104 (Cedar)- It’s because men have more upper-body strength. Completely anatomical.
97 (Otzi)- Did you not read my post about Scythian female warriors? The Greeks would have called them Amazons, although that’s not what they called themselves, obviously.
Kuai Zi:
I know men have more upper-body strength. But I’ve never heard of a show with an act where a woman shows off her muscles.
Whatever she can lift, that would be good.
You’d need some mighty strong women for that pyramid dance I thought up.
I’m not saying women aren’t strong. And out of about three billion females on the planet, I’m sure you can find at least one who can lift a dancer-covered platform. Google. Yay.
And call me Penty.
Penty.
Very well.
I’ll try to remeber that.
NOTE TO GAPA:
Appoun my return to the Museblog, I feel content with closing down this thread. I would appreciate it, if you left it up in my absense however, just in case one last person comes to comment.
I’ve let you know, and I don’t have much else on it at the moment.
It was really fun while it lasted though.
Just please don’t close it down while I’m gone.
Thank you.
Correction of spelling error in last post:
I’ve let you know about it, and I don’t know much else about it myself at the moment.
I’m back.
Oh well, I guess no one had anything to say.
You can close it down now GAPA, unless you think you shouldn’t.
I’m fine if you do though.
PS: Hope you’ll all come to the show when I finally get it togehter.
I recently sent an email to the B-yada-yada-o Inititive website. It’s relitively Kid freindly, but I’ not going to give the adress here.
Google it if you’re curious.
Anyway, I suggested the idea of a documentary on B-Phzzz-o girl power to the Inititive, and they said they like the idea. They asked me if I knew of anybody who might be a good sponser.
I suggested Ms. Magazine.
I’m going to write them another letter soon. with more detailed ideas.
