Theater Artist in Washington, DC - why?

What do you like to do in your free time?

Engage my autodidact tendencies. Meet people. Make stuff.

What do you know the most about?

Physical theater. Being present. Group dynamics.

What do you like about the Listserve?

It's like Omegle for the severely introverted: I get to meet someone without having to do the work or expose myself (not like that). And it's a meet that isn't governed or influenced by my own daily schedule and proclivities: I can meet someone who has literally no connection to my daily life. I have a theory that everyone is interesting when they tell you what they are passionate about. Sometimes [The Listserve] proves that. And currently, I'm horribly trapped in my everyday life without good community. [The Listserve] helps me to not feel so isolated.

What do you NOT like about the Listserve?

Moralizing dumbass remarks that try to give blanket advice and take too many words to do it.

Why are you interested in this project?

I like making. I like connecting. I need to have a voice in something because I've had so little agency for too long.

Age

So many people who write for [The Listserve] seem dull-normal: like the everyday folks I meet who don't seem interested in anything that isn't posted on FB or happened at their workplace. Yet, these people I (rightly or wrongly) assess as dull-normal follow [The Listserve]. Why? What is it they like and get out of it? (I swear, I'm not mean or misanthropic. But a project like this demands honesty, and in this case, I don't see how my opinion might hurt anyone's feelings. I'll retract if I have misunderstood the format and my remarks might cause someone hurt.)
