Dan Hoyle - performance artist who currently specializes in circumnavigating
the globe while variously and wonderfully encountering and mirroring the
character(s) of globalization - has a totally engaging, eye opening piece on
performing in Port Harcourt, Nigeria in this morning's San Francisco
Chronicle. (the website will bring it up).
Heartwarming to me. I was in the Peace Corps in Nigeria in the sixties. In
the early eighties, Daniel - who is a son of Geoff Hoyle (a now famous mime
and vaudevillian performer) was one of the four toddlers - including my
daughter, Pearl - in ar joint family "play group." Ironically, Daniel was so
shy then. (Play Groups are what we formed as writers and artists - when we
could not afford 'professional' childcare.)
Anyway it's a hot piece and nice to see something really electrify the
entertainment section of the Chronicle!
