The kid's voice in the audio may be mine. I made my stage debut with TLT as a toddler. Apparently, I crawled onto the stage & arranged shoes as people shed their clothes. Very improvisational theatre of which I have no memory. (My dad's a playwright & directed Theatre Genesis.) This type of theatre could never happen now b/c the audience is not the same. When people say Children of the 60's made no contribution to society but free love & STDs, I ask them if they shop at Whole Foods.

Were you the little boy dancing with the group? My class wants to know what happened to you if you are. Do you live in New York City? If so, can you contact me at bjudell@ccny.cuny.edu. My students would love to chat with you in person or otherwise we could converse over the phone.

You do not understand the context. Watching the Living Theater on video is not the same as being a participant. The group broke down the barriers down between stage and audience. And they were fighting against racism, homophobia, misogyny, destruction of the planet, and they were arguing for free love. They definitely had a trickle down effect on much of theater that followed afterwards. Compare HAIR to Beck and Melina's baby.

horrible! How could that group ever become famous? With all their shouting they did not change anything.

It's got to happen inside first. You can take away a man's political freedom and you won't hurt him- unless you take away his freedom to feel. That can destroy him. That kind of freedom can't be granted. Nobody can win it for you.” – Jim Morrison
