I am interested in this project is because I have a burning fire inside me that is threating to consume me if I don't share it with people. It motivates me. My fire comes from all the fucked up people in this world who don't have enough common sense to treat living beings with consideration and empathy. I hope that one day my fire will burn up their hollow hearts so that a new one can grow in its place.

Assertive Affirmation

Assertive Affirmation Training

I don’t want to be passive or aggressive or passive aggressive; I want to be assertive. I believe in myself and what I am doing. I believe I have good morals and beliefs. I believe I try to be the best person I can be. I watch for part of my personality which are more detrimental and I try to develop that part of myself.

The start of this project came from that desire to understand myself and others better. As with most research I do it becomes a piece of art. Thus the play is about narcissism displayed in peoples personalities especially people born to western privilege. How this sense of entitlement is a western concept that only exists within societies with huge economic disparities.

Those born into a low cast are never taught entitlement except in the context of being expected to provide whatever the master desires. Even in PC communities it is still expect that the womyn cook and clean while the men shot the shit and drink beer.

To me this problem of common respect and basic communication techniques is why we are lacking a cultural revolution. An analyzation of the common problem of alienation and cultural insensitive most often come down to an individualized sense of entitlement and other major signifiers of Destructive narcissistic personality.

I want give oppression workshops and intercultural communication workshops which teach people how to be assertive and not passive or aggressive or passive aggressive but to communicate with there whole self. :s)
