What is this?

Welcome to the official blog for the Speaking of Silence performance project This site is a place to share your stories and thoughts about silence and to engage in a dialogue with other interested writers, artists, thinkers, activists, and people around the world on the subject of silence and the power it has in shaping who we are and how we relate to the world.

Every few days or so, I will be posting a provocative question or quote to generate more thought and responses from you. You may respond to the quote or let it be a springboard to other stories you'd like to tell in the comments section You may also submit a story unrelated to the current Post Question by hitting the comment bar.

So share! Nothing is too small or too big. And you can share as often as you like. I am hopeful that this becomes a really dynamic space for people to visit every few days.

Women and Silence


This will be the theme of the audio piece between the Strindberg and Beckett at the June performance.

There are many questions related to this subject and we expect to hear from a wide variety of voices and opinions to use as the raw material for the piece. We'll start posting a question a day for the next few weeks to generate specific thoughts and responses around certain themes.

But for now - anything that springs to mind about this subject that you'd like to share?

Some of you have asked for instructions about how to leave a comment. Simply click on the tiny work "comments" at the end of this post. (If people have already left comments the word will have a number in front of it, i.e., "3 comments".) This will open a new page, where you can read the comments others have left and with a box to the right where you can leave a comment yourself. You will also have the option of signing in with your name, or remaining completely anonymous. If you are anonymous, there is absolutely no way to tell who you are -- so feel free to be very honest!

Here's another plea to PLEASE leave comments! And please spread the blog to others. I'm getting a bit nervous that I won't have enough responses as raw material to construct a piece in which multiple viewpoints are honored. Plus, it's just nice to know people are out there.
