“НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, ЖОВТЕНЬ 2010 21 basin. Silence filled the room, and the only thing that seemed important was to watch the silhouettes of twinkling candles floating over the water. One day at work , Virlana said to me “Pe rformance is an art that disappears yet I never think of a performance as finished.” This comment has stuck with me as an important facet of theatre wisdom. Unlike tangible pieces of art that can live a lifetime, a theatre piece can have true life only whe n it is being performed. Those involved must find a way to capture a performance and sustain it in a way that will contribute to theatre history and allow the piece t o be reinterpreted in the future. One way in which to do this is through archiving. A gre at deal of my time with Yara this summer was spent archiving past documents from previous shows. With 20 years of history to examine, the task seemed daunting. It meant examining scripts, press, publicity, photographs, and music of many individual shows. A ll this information was scanned to allow Yara to update and digitalize its private archives; then the information was chronologically ordered and archival folders were prepared for donation to a library archive. It was an enormous job; at times, Virlana an d I wondered whether it was possible to accomplish. Yet, as the weeks went on, we saw progress as gaps and free space began appearing in the bookshelves of folders that line Virlana’s office. The skills I acquired while working with Yara have been unique a nd valuable, something that will no doubt be useful to me in my future career in the theatre industry. This was my first time traveling overseas alone and living away from home. During my stay, I lived in an apartment in New York’s East Village, soaking in the bohemian arty ambiance that the area personifies. To try and pinpoint a specific favorite experience is almost impossible, but some of the Ms. Huzij enjoying Broadway . moments I will truly remember include walking through Central Park, 4 th of July fireworks over the Hudson River, seeing numerous Broadway shows, visits to the Met and MOMA and Guggenheim, my weekend trip to Soyuzivka for the Ukrainian Cultural Festival, and experiencing a Yankees game. After all of these experience s , I was ab le to leave America with the knowledge that I could return home and truly say that had I lived the life of a New Yorker for 9 weeks. And that is something that I will treasure forever. Show Time GRANDMOTHER’S COSTUME After putting her grandchildren to bed, a grandmother changed into old slacks and a droopy blouse and proceeded to wash her hair. As she heard the children getting more and more rambunctious, her patience grew thin. Finally, she threw a towel around her head and stormed into their room, pu tting them back to bed with stern warnings. As she left the room, she heard the three - year - old say with a trembling voice, "Who was THAT?"
