Narrative Cocktails

Time for another round up of Intiman Theatre’s specialty cocktails, some from last season and some we’re serving right now. I created a lot of these. I did not create the cute little quotes.

Try these at home.

William Emmert On My Wall

While at MHGS, I spent three years on Student Leadership. Part of what my particular team (Sacred Space) did was to curate the two art galleries in our building. The main floor gallery is for local artists and the upstairs gallery is for artists from the MHGS student body. For my final summer as a [...]

Kj’s Corner: Real Presences & Adaptation

This summer I had the opportunity to serve as research assistant to Dr. Chelle Stearns for her course on “Theology & the Artistic Impulse.” This meant I got to give two lectures on the class material. (At MHGS we don’t use student TA’s due to dual relationship concerns- so research assistant is a kind of [...]

When You Visit A Tattoo Parlor Alone…

…it’s inevitable you’ll end up playing Monopoly on your phone while your skin is purposefully wounded.

Otherwise known as…I went to get my tattoo touched up (pretty standard for foot tattoos to need touch ups), and I passed the time taking video of the experience.

Yay for Matt Sawdon and the crew at Sunken Ship Tattoos in [...]

Theology Collage- Literally

For my current theology class, we were invited to share our “vision of the Church”, in audio or visual if we preferred, rather than writing a paper. I made a little collage which will really only make sense to me. I’m not still not used to being graded. Thanks Bennington.

In Search of Lost Time

I’ve been feeling pretty chaotic inside lately- both overwhelmed and un-tethered–trying to find strucutre and a rhythm, but just sort of floating, ever more anxiously, into the vacuum of dark outer space. Basically, it’s my usual Jan-March challenge when Intiman goes off season and 35 hours of my week float away into the ether. I [...]

“Facebook, Roadside Attractions and the Atonement” or “Vince on the Cross”

I was allowing myself to be distracted by Facebook one day, following friend’s links haphazardly to see what quizzes they’d scored 83% on or what pictures they took on their vacations. One link trail took me to a photo album of a friend from high school. No doubt it was the photo album [...]
