Living Inside My  Head By Bedor Alobaidi

I don't see you in my dreams, but you are the first thing I remember every time I open my eyes in the morning. We don't talk daily, but you live in my head, and my imagination keeps a heartfelt conversation with you - endless conversations. I don't even know you, nor do I know myself. Every time I try to see your eyes, they shift to your lips or shirt, as if I am seeking comfort before I lose my mind or the right words to say to you when the topic is serious, very urgently serious, or completely below the average seriousness I can be myself. I don't like being hard on myself all the time.


You feel like home, not back home or in my second hometown, but in a dreamy place called home. That's how warm you are, and how cold I am every time. I just cannot shut up and run out of time whenever I talk to you. 


You are my friend, or maybe not just yet a friend, but maybe closer than that, or maybe it's all just in my head? Even though I know that whenever I see you or make you read my complaints, I wish you knew that it's my heart that's talking and communicating with you, not me. And I must admit that you have a certain magic that makes me talk and talk and talk and talk until nonstop. I know I can be loud and noisy when I talk, just like my silence.


When you asked how my week went and my answer was 50/50, you responded by saying, "Well, I don't know where you live or how you live or what's going on in your life, but that's life, and we can't expect our days to go perfectly every day." I just wished I could have interrupted you and said that I live in my head. I live there a lot. It's my sacred place that I belong to more than a sense of belonging to home, house, family, community, a whole neighborhood, or friends. I'm with all of them and not with them at all. I'm a loner, not by preference, but rather because it has been a pattern for a very long time, maybe since the day I was born, and that's because I'm different and hard to be understood.


It's not a lack of love, but a lack of understanding and sometimes a series of events that lead me to end up in the wrong places with the wrong people who I thought I could relate to somehow or just fit in. 


But something happens and detaches me or removes me from these places or people's lives in a mysterious way that I wish I could understand why. I am the unknown to no one. Let's keep it simple that way. And yes, I'm sure even you will not be able to figure me out, not because I am special or a red carpet star, nor an ordinary woman, but because I am like the puzzle that I can't find the answer to. Do you think you can? I hope so.

So, I decided to share with all my followers and readers here on my blog some of the interesting plays I have enjoyed reading and reflecting about through the fall semester of 2013. I will be sharing some of my writings that I basically have done for my  Theater  classes, in which I enjoyed taking the most since the first days I started going to college. And with all  pleasure, here's one of my most favorite plays that I pretty much enjoyed reading about through this semester. So, I hope you guys enjoy reading it or even get an idea of the play's theme, climax and plot and also if you find it really interesting you might consider searching for the play itself and start reading it and by then you will see realize why I consider it as one of the most favorite plays I have ever enjoyed reading , back when I had to study it in my theater literature class .  Happy reading :)  The Rising of The Moon By Lady Gregory: It ...

The Deadly Theatre

After reading and highlighting the important key  elements  of the “Empty Space” as how it’s referd on the book that was written by the author Peter Brook, I was bale to draw out an idea of what’s the definition of an empty space and  calling  it a bare stage as how it was mentioned in the text.  Then he  splinted  the word into four ways and distinguished what are the four different kinds of theatre. These types of theatre are: Deadly Theatre, a Holy Theatre, a Rough Theatre, and the fourth one was the an Immediate Theatre. In this chapter Peter Brook was to deliver a powerful indictment of deadly  theater  for us. In better words, he was able to identify and explain with such a  detailed  relevant sequence what is deadly theatre in terms of performances that are dull and boring, providing no transcendental experience or immediate encounter with truth and beauty. In his book, Brook has focused on sev...

The Rough Theatre

“The Rough theatre is something more experimental”. This means that we already have moved into a different type of theatre that Peter Brook has guided us into it from his book “The Empty Space”. In better words, this is a simpler form of theatre than the ones we studied before such as the deadly thatre and the holly theatre, what makes the rough theatre different than the obvious theatres is that “through the ages it has taken many forms, and there is only one factor that they all have in commonness--- a roughness”.   I would rather call it a vivid, noisy, lively, flexible, and very creative theatre.  You can touch and feel the real meaning of owning the space “The Stage” and being all comfortable with any new, quick changes in terms of plays, directors, and the actors themselves are more free with their expreissions but noticebly they are not limited as how we examined in the first two chapters.  In this type of theatres, you can easily see it’s not ...
