9th Clip. Title: Following the Father Owl. 8:03 minutes long.
This is the 9th clip of the 1st chapter from the DC Myth.
This clip is posted in gratitude to two plays of a trilogy developed by Dr. William Moses, one of my several theatre arts professors at Gallaudet. It was how both plays placed in my lifepath and influenced me for which I am grateful for.
The first “mime” play was Telling Stories performed by Gallaudet students during the Deaf Way I Conference in the summer of 1989. It was during that performance when I sat transfixed and jotted down on its program sheet an outline of putting on stage a story of deaf history through the life of a deaf child. That was the genesis of this DC myth eighteen years ago.
The second play is the first of Moses’ trilogy, The Kid which was acclaimed and selected to perform at the Kennedy Center during the ACTF (American College Theater Festival) in 1982. In my last semester at Gallaudet, I was in this musical mime (a strange but winning combination) production performing the title character of “the kid.” I didn’t realize until much later how the play’s use of archetypes and the universal Campellian journey of a hero this musical mime portrayed had instilled in my thoughts, preparing me in few years later to begin developing this work of literature, history, and art - The Deaf Child: A Mythology.
Thank you, Bill Moses.

Posted in the blessed memory of my Uncle Jerry. my late paternal uncle, “Jerry” Milton Lester Katz for aiding me in my “mysticism.” You forcibly wanted to leave in 2005. Even though you finally left in 2006 on Mt. Tam overlooking San Francisco, what you have taught me will always be with me forever - and helping me impart skeptical wisdom to anyone and, especially, eventually to my two young daughters.
