Also that Scarlet and Ashley were Brits.

In re new theatre with choreography and opera scores -- also at half time, 
and China: 

 Xmas before last, my mother's xmas party for her Birmingham neighbors, -- 
you'd have to have been there --

Me  urging the boy next door, a drummer getting a phd at an East Texas 
school, and his wife who supports them teaching half time flag twirlers, to 
choreograph a stadium piece in sign language.  I also describe some  mass 
every one is part of the art pieces Chiang Ching staged..  

I've  urged the sign language ballet on three different choreographers of 
ballets
with major corporate funding, at least one of whom lost my support for 
crossing and
encouraging his dancers to cross, the musician union's picket line.  I seldom 
mention
my respect for the art of Chiang Ching.  

To me it is relevant, perhaps to one or two other RAT listees, that a sign 
language
ballet was performed to the Star Spangled Banner at the super bowl.  It 
wasn't quite
what I had in mind, but I was quite thrilled.  More to come. I pray some are 
RATS.  Actually, since I can't read sign language, I may have been more 
thrilled than I knew.

Also,  in re  stadium art and its relation to RATS, those with a root to 
guerilla street theatre, ala Schechner's launch with Kill Viet Cong in V V 
piece in 1967, I think that's the date:  The script for Kill Viet Cong by Bob 
Head was a paragraph proposing a ballet opera to be performed in the Sugar 
Bowl at the end of which the Cong hands a real loaded gun to a fan in the 
stand.

I don't think the Raven who starred in the post game show was born yet.  In 
re which what about these TV - verite Truman story, you asked for it, shows 
coming from UK?  Are the surveillance camera performers on this list?  Please 
don't invite me to another list; just
make a short retort here.  I think this is scarey. And I enjoy being a 
granny.  tsk tsk
