Since last I wrote I have left the fair land of Sweden to travel a cors the sea to the land of plenty, hospitality and over sized. I'm sitting in the Tsco. family's temporary house in CT, before moving onto campus tomorrow. I've only been here a few days but because of everyone's helpfulness and generosity I can conclude that so far so good. I have been treated to, but not limited to, food, housing, transportation, more food, movies, Broadway shows, drinks, baseball games, cell phones, yoga mats and cooking appliances. These people are so very nice.
A.T, the oldest of the Tsco kids is a talented photographer and costume designer in New York City. Together with M.B she just concluded the performance of "Bryant In The Park": a performance play set in Bryant Park about a fictional croquet society using the work of William Cullen Bryant. A.T designed the costumes of the piece that has received publicity by The New York Times as well as Time Out New York.
Here's a short summary from the art.party.theater.compamny's webpage.
"A dozen members of the exclusive and imaginary Bryant Park Croquet Society were dressed in white and playing croquet on Bryant Park's main lawn. Sipping tea and gossiping, they amuse the crowd that gathers around. Suddenly, as if possessed by a spirit, they burst into William Cullen Bryant's odes to nature. Slowly, they begin to transform and finally surrender to summer and its wild power through dance, music, and movement. At the end of the performance, members of the Bryant Park Croquet Society collected onlookers' feelings about summer."
I've also been treated to a Boston Red Socks vs New York Yankees baseball game as well as a BBQ, a new cell phone and kitchen appliances to my new apartment. I'm happy, I'm so glad.
