How time flies by.
How things change.
My project has completely changed
I can't really define what I'm doing
I'm in crisis sometimes
afraid a lot of the time
torn and trying to move forward without one single example
trying to re/invent, re/define myself
all of the time
I'm the most unstable I've ever felt in my life
questioning fundamentals in myself that once i
took for granted....
And it's pure joy.
I am so happy.
I feel open now - open to
learning and healing
taking risks and being strong
loving myself as best as I can
Look at that. Looks like self-love.
I'm incredibly happy and can't imagine being anywhere else.
I'm busy and have made some fantastic friends.
It's beautiful here, and I feel like time is going so fast. Too fast sometimes. Though I know it's probably going at just the right pace.
Look at that. Looks like patience.
I'm about to embark on a HUGE project. Waiting for some green lights - then I'll be sure to write about it come next year. It's fucking scary and huge and I'm so afraid and excited and I don't know how it will turn out. But I'm jumping in.
Look at that. Looks like risk. Looks like self-confidence.
How time flies, how things change.
I'm off north to Ilocos Sur to visit family in Narvacan and Vigan for Christmas! Leaving tomorrow, and will be gone for a week, Dec. 21-27. I'll be back in Manila for New Year's.
Sorry I haven't written in three months. You know, life. Enjoy the pictures - they're of "The Silent Soprano" the show I assistant directed, and of my trip to Baguio with my cousin and niece.
Enjoy and MALIGAYANG PASKO!

History of the Center
The Center for Sustainable Foolishness was founded by two brilliant (and slightly neurotic) women under a full September moon.
Sitting and chatting into the dark night about the joy of heartfelt impulses, the deliciousness of absurd thoughts, and the immense possibility in half-baked ideas, they decided to form the Center as a safe place for serious, contemplative thought on our most silly fancies.
After all, do we really want to say no to every bad idea?
"Oh, what fools these mortals be!"
-William Shakspeare,
A Midsummer Night's Dream

The Center's Mission
The Center is currently serving as an archive of thoughts, musings, and projects of Krystal (Xtal) Banzon, Center Co-Foo.
Who the eff is Xtal?
Xtal is beginning her first year as a graduate student at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, in the Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP)
As an artist and theatre director/producer/creator, Xtal has little idea how she ended up at ITP. She is interested in exploring the future of storytelling and performance, especially ways to articulate hybrid identities and underrepresented narratives through new forms/media/technology.
Xtal is excited to learn an incredible amount of stuff she never even knew existed. She will be playing around with toys she never imagined playing with. She is excited to own her first pair of wire strippers, and to learn how to solder things.
It's a fool paradise.
