No Projects Currently Scheduled

After shows in the Boulder International Fringe Festival in 2013, 2015, and 2017, I have taken a break to work up more material.

I am writing songs to be sung parlando style, or if you prefer, I have written poetry to be recited with musical accompaniment. I performed in this style at the 2017 Boulder Fringe. Here is the notation I use for my song scripts: ParlandoNotation.

I plan soon to put up some audios and videos of performances.

The songs are part of my work on “Inner-Mind Philosophy,” philosophy that begins with the recognition that consciousness is a tool of the brain. Consciousness is a tool that thinks it is the workman. Most Western philosophy is centered around the conscious mind, peering out at a world that may or may not be there.

At the beginning of the sexual revolution, while Mustn’t is rapidly changing to Must, a young man tries to make sense of it all: The romance, confusion, gross-out, and terror. The joys of male sexuality. The good-natured male/female xenophobia. The stages of intimacy. How to consent. Aphrodite’s curse. What women want. Why guys fear intimacy. What “NO” means. The Goddess.And much, much more — all in the quest for deeply meaningful casual sex. Love… Like… Whatever combines story-telling and satire, romantic poetry and male wisdom.

Preview audiences have said:

“Full of the unexpected.”
“I like how you point out those things we all feel but rarely admit.”
“Very honest – not usually put out there. Men especially will appreciate it being said.”
“Very funny.”
“Very witty, but some people may be offended.”
“All your stuff is about sex.”
“Loved your emotion and the subtle rhymes.”

About the show’s creator: Thomas Christopher has been, among other things, an author, poet, story-teller, public speaker, playwright, contra dance instructor, unitarian lay preacher, and computer scientist.
