IUAV Venice: Directing course "Prince of Homburg" 2007
More slides on my archives! Here is one from my studies in Venice. The course was directed by Elisabeth Schweeger http://www.berlin-school.com/en;faculty-research;faculty;d:431.htm and it was about the play "Prince of Homburg". Each student had to analyse it, direct it, make the scenography to it, and costume it. Only as a rehearsal luckily, the production wasn't really made on-stage in reality. Lucky for me, my idea would have taken millions.
Here you can see parts of the final idea that Ms. Schweeger finally accepted, and gave me good points for it. After calling me a "Kitch Noodle" for first fighting so hard to make the world pretty, and pink, and filled-with-fairy-tales. But I do thank for it, because I was able to reach new kind of ideas that I haven't tried before!
Ps. Unfortunately, this fine idea crashed at once, when 6 months after the course, I saw the movie "300"....Shame, I would've like to use this some day.

The Books of Elliot
"Elliot glanced up in pain. Now he heard the bells coming nearer, somewhere in the ghastly horizon barely shown by the fog. His wings were finally free, but still hurting. Everyone aboard still dead.. he checked. Nothing new since he had fallen asleep in fatique. Should have listened to Basil."
Since 2005 Nrj Fashion awards, I have been writing a fantasy book in finnish, by workname "The books of Elliot". In a nutshell, the book is about angels upon earth, with the true freedom of choice, when human has it only inside certain boundaries: but the question is which ones are truly free, pure, and safe, when the world is getting closer to it's final day and only the angels happen to know all this. "The end is easy for a human -he needs only to die." -Elliot
The work continues slowly (due to my work on other parts of career), but it is growing page by page. Some day, hopefully within 5, or at least 10 years, I plan to publish it. First in finnish, later in english. Forgive me if the upper quote from the book contains mild or bigger mistakes, I'll leave the final translating to professionals. It is a huge dream to catch, but I would not be the first one in Finland to be able to do that! Others have managed, I might too. Time will show.
After the success of Elliot on Nrj -and the Ropecon 2006, where the role-playing audience gave it's great acceptance to him, my hopes got up that he might have a bigger space open in the people's hearts, if I just keep pushing him forward. Some day. I don't want him to be forgotten, not by me, nor by others.
Right now a new costume is coming up into the collection. Partly for schoolwork, partly for my own need. It was time to remember the fabrics, the form, the spirit of the collection. Maybe through this new outfit some new will come up to the book too, we will see! I'll put pictures up later!
