Is this a promotional attempt to get us all to move up north? FM: Many of your works have parts set in Canada. After two years I had enough, but it was still interesting talking to readers.Ģ.

(The contrast with Andrew Holleran’s contemporaneous Dancer from the Dance is striking.) The Society, and many gay men were more focused on simply surviving than on building a family. Yes, the play is maybe a bit ahead of its time in that respect, given that it was written at a time when gay relationships themselves were generally not accepted in That issue of what a gay “family” would look like is an eternal one. In the last of the three plays, he attempts to construct something resembling a family by adopting a gay teenager, to the horror of On-again, off-again relationship with a bisexual guy named Ed. The three plays cover about five years, during which Arnold has an It’s essentially the story of Arnold, a New York drag queen, and his search for happiness.

It took several more classes, but once we started working on the interaction of colors, I gradually got interested in learning more about color theory.

I missed the first part of the lecture because all I could hear in my head was my voice repeatedly whining, "No color theory!"įinally, with no other option, I shut off the internal dialogue and reluctantly turned my attention to the instructor. The curriculum required me to study color theory two times each week for 15 weeks plus spend countless hours outside of class, completing the assignments, and this was only the first of four courses. Then the instructor arrived, and within the first few minutes, I discover that the Color and Design course was just another name for Color Theory class. I was ready to create something amazing and couldn't wait to get started. I remember the first day of my very first design class. By the time I set off for university to study design, I had no interest in color theory. The compliments continued to pour in through my teen years. As a kid, everyone loved the colors I put together. While I have always loved color, I have not always loved color theory, nor did I see a need for it.
