DESCRIPTION

The novel begins as Arella prepares for 2000 and the fresh start it represents. More at home in cyberspace than anywhere she has actually lived, she reinvents herself and her life story for readers of a multimedia web diary she calls Arella’s Repertoire, a blend of memoir, travelogue, and blog. Like her Russian forebears, who immigrated to the United States at the turn of the previous century, she imagines belonging somewhere. Motivated as much by a child’s longing for fantasy as by a woman’s desire for truth, she highlights scenes from Miami, where she came of age in the 1960s, and Los Angeles, where she settled after many stops along the way. The narrative explores personal and cultural memory in the digital age.

  • Preface

    he story is framed as an online text that Arella posts incrementally throughout the month of December 1999, as she

    prepares for 2000. More at home in cyberspace than anywhere she has actually lived, she reinvents herself and her life story for readers of a multimedia web diary she calls Arellas Repertoire, a blend of memoir, travelogue, and blog. Like her Russian forebears, who immigrated to the United States at the turn of the previous century, she imagines belonging somewhere.

  • Part I A Time Traveler En Route

    (Prelude)

  • On the Cusp of 2000 (Posted December 1, 1999)

    hen I awakened this morning on my living room couch, I was still wearing my gold dancing dress, a reminder of last nights

    virtual excursions. Adrift between worlds, I soon felt the lure of my actual surroundings. The drapes were wide open, letting sunshine filter through sliding glass doors that overlook the terrace. I could see the Hollywood Hills in the distance, a perfect backdrop, I thought, for recounting my latest wanderings.

    So here I sit moments later, typing away. Nothing makes sense at first, and then images begin to flicker, restoring fragments of memories and dreams. With you, my readers, I share these fleeting impressions as I transform them into an end-of-the-century finale for Arellas Repertoire, my space for writing on the World Wide Web. This is where I remember both the century and the phase of my life that are drawing to a close. Its also where I envision a fresh start. A blend of fact and fiction, my stories trace the paths Ive followed to reach my latest stopover, where I sojourn now, a time traveler en route.

    I glance around the space Im learning to call home, a charming apartment in L.A. that I have all to myself. From my vantage point on the fourth floor, I have a spectacular view of the hills, and new horizons to explore. When I turn the other way, the scene becomes more personal and retrospective. I see unpacked boxes and stacks of booksmementos from the second half of the twentieth century. These lifelines to my past comfort me, especially the diaries, journals, and letters Ive managed to keep. They also inspire my creative work across a range of old and new media.

    Both sanctuary and stage, this space provided the setting for yesterdays video performance, Still Mind, a New Years tribute youll have a chance to view soon, after its edited for the web. Meanwhile, Ill try to piece together for you what I remember, the real and imagined backstory of my virtual excursions.

    * A woman, lets call her Arella, strolls around a spacious room

    she has all to herself. Sliding glass doors open up the north wall, revealing a panoramic view of the hills beyond. Sunshine brings the space to life, playing off Arellas golden brown hair and accentuating her blue eyes. As though leaving a trail, she removes her high heels and flowing cape, accessories that complement the iridescent gold dress shes wearing, a dress made for dancing. The sheer fabric mirrors ambient colors, an impression enhanced by crystal earrings that reflect the light. A Tibetan flutist plays in the background. His spellbinding melodies induce psychic transport.

    Before long, Arellas twirling her way to other worlds, a prelude to choreographed dreams. Her age seems to change from moment to moment. An agile body suggests stories not written yet.

    Soon, she imagines, her words will dance too. And then something outside attracts her gaze, halting her

    fluid dance midstream. Arms outstretched, a faraway look in her eyes, she stares at the horizon, mesmerized by what she sees: A phantom vision? A dazzling light show? A supernatural entourage? She is strong. She has lived. Sacred music stills her mind.

    Twilight approaches and the room dims. She starts dancing again, more relaxed and carefree than before.

    As though entranced, Arella gravitates toward the living room couch and lies down. A spread with shimmering, multicolored weaves envelops her. She falls asleep as the music fades out. The glass doors frame a brilliant display of color and light exploding in the distance. A period of calm follows and she drifts away, no longer relying on a script. The rest of her travels elude the video cameras, which have captured everything so far. Movies of another sort play inside her head. She is the dreamer. She is the dream.

    While she sleeps, ghostly figments emerge from her body as though conjured by magicians of special effects. Each figment

    appears as a translucent ray of color. Volatile arabesques of rose, blue, plum, silver, and black come together and diffuse, one by one morphing into figures reminiscent of Arella at various phases of her life, from childhood to middle age. The colors of their costumes match the colors of their ghostly forms and distinguish the figures from one another, as do the costumes unique designs.

    Thus transformed, the ensemble circle overheadspectral dancers in flight. As they perform, another figure emerges from the sleeping woman: a brilliant gold ray morphs into an ethereal figure who resembles Arella as she appears on the cusp of 2000. The specter looks radiant in an iridescent gold dress and flowing cape that offset her golden brown hair and bring out the blue in her eyes. Her age seems to change from moment to moment, depending on the light and her speed of travel. With self-assurance, Dancer in Gold glides through space, a wise elder endowed with humility and grace.

    This way, she says to Arella, entering her dreamscape. The other members of the female dance troupe chime in.

    DANCER IN ROSE (young girl): Well guide you through territory youve visited before and introduce you to places youve never been. DANCER IN BLUE (teenager): In these realms, memories and imagination blend, and many channels of communication are open at once. DANCER IN PLUM (midtwenties): Just let everything float freely and youll be fine. DANCER IN SILVER (midthirties): And if youre inventive, youll solve some mysteries. DANCER IN BLACK (early forties): Most of all, enjoy our renditions of your repertoire. DANCER IN GOLD (late forties): We hope youll join us.

    Arella welcomes the dancers into her dream and takes off with her guides. As the great-granddaughter of Jewish immigrants, she follows paths her ancestors could not have imagined when they fled Russian ghettos a century ago, even though she shares their desire to belong somewhere, and like her great-grandfather Daniel, a celebrated mystic, she ponders esoteric dimensions of space and time.

    On her latest excursion she encounters a wondrous theatre that concurrently showcases scenes from the past, present, and future, reenactments of her own life. Great-grandfather Daniel would have loved this, she thinks, trying to experience the magic firsthand. No playhouse bound to the real world could replicate the free-floating, fanciful stage sets she discovers, nor could earthly performers interpret the repertoire as adeptly as the dancers she has followed here, to this timeless space.

    On six separate stages, one for each dancer, Arellas guides demonstrate their skills as choreographers and dramatists, recreating episodes from an ongoing story. Unable to take in everything at once, Arella watches one performer at a time, beginning with the youngest, Dancer in Rose:

    A piano accompanist plays in the shadows as a ten-year-old

    girl performs on a stage designed just for her. She wears a rose unitard and a short gossamer skirt with silver, blue, and plum sequins. She is slender, with long blonde hair and blue eyes. Inspired by her life in Miami, she keeps the mid-1960s alive by reciting diary entries that she recorded with care, celebrating a fifth-graders world.

    DANCER IN ROSE: We had a little art lesson. For extra credit I turned in the Greek gods that I sculpted with soap. At the park Rita and I chanted witch verses. They go: Ish ka bibaly, olton dolton, bo bo ba de tan dot an, wa bash ba do. Everyone thought we were casting a spell.

    In the territory she has claimed as her own, Dancer in Rose

    spins with abandon. *

    On an adjacent stage, an obscure figure plays acoustic guitar, enlivening the performance of a teenage dancer who wears a sky blue unitard. Around her slim torso flows a cotton skirt tie-dyed in rose, plum, and silver hues. Her sandy blonde hair is long and wild, her eyes a sparkling blue. Inspired by her contemplative notes, Dancer in Blue commemorates her high school years in Miami during the late 1960s and early 70s.

    DANCER IN BLUE: Astray one day in a dreamy cotton candy wonderland looking for a smile, we, gentle tiptoers, romped with auras of magic and sighed as the radiance waned. Power to the People!

    One reflection leads to another, perpetually charging a body

    in motion. *

    Nearby, jazz rhythms filter through the domain of a twenty-something dancer who is immersed in a nuanced performance. She wears a plum unitard and a silk sarong with marbled rose, blue, and silver patterns. The costume accentuates her well-toned body and dramatizes her sinuous travels through space and time. As she moves, her light brown hair blows in the wind. Her blue eyes dazzle. Its the mid-1970s. Back in South Florida after graduating from college, Dancer in Plum works through experiential layers her journal writing has shaped.

    DANCER IN PLUM: Maybe I need to live in equilibrium, taking only controlled excursions into any extreme. This way I would surrender to passion selectively, rather than giving in to emotional intensities that rock me into desperate madness.

    Moving images start to shape my graphic world. The blank page acquires new dimensions, and my imagination opens to designs unforeseen. I work on a choreography of everyday rhythms.

    Dancer in Plum relishes her private space, where, under the influence of her personal repertoire, she translates impressions with her body.

    * Elsewhere, avant-garde musicians improvise. Their hypnotic

    minimalist score creates the mood for another performance unencumbered by the passing of time. Free to replay familiar scenes, a woman in her thirties defines a space that suits her style. She wears a silver unitard and a black silk skirt. A shimmering weave of rose, blue, and plum runs through the fabric. Her tousled chestnut hair is pulled back off her face, drawing attention to her blue eyes. At this juncture in the late 1980s, Dancer in Silver is living in a Midwestern college town and struggling to write her first novel. She considers where she has been and where she may be going, as her reflections suggest.

    DANCER IN SILVER: Im trying to collage a new map, to go places Ive never been before. Intuition guides me. My tasks: unearth treasures from distant passageways; translate memories of physical pleasures into words. Subtitles peer through . . . mirror reflections.

    No one can accompany me here, in contours designed for imagining. I transcend limits that get in my way, again and again. Absorbed in elusive scenarios, Dancer in Silver preserves

    traces of other worlds. *

    In the distance, members of an international ensemble roam about a fantastic set. They fuse Eastern and Western musical traditions. The groups enchanting world music permeates the sanctuary where a free-spirited woman in her early forties inhabits a space she has remodeled for dancing engagements. Her sheer black gown reveals hints of the black unitard underneath. A silver necklace with assorted gemstones adds touches of rose, blue, and plum. Her long auburn hair falls loosely around her face, almost hiding her blue

    eyes. In Los Angeles during the mid-1990s and writing a screenplay, Dancer in Black invokes her own form of alchemy.

    DANCER IN BLACK: Little by little, fragments of a life take shape, collaged reflections that look backward and ahead, a tribute to the in-between spaces one may occupy along the way.

    I revisit imaginary havens, retracing pathways. Memory layers unfurl, a mad rhythm, a dervish pace.

    I create a repertoire of virtual memories from which I will develop characters and scenes. I experiment with voices I have known or imagined. I play many parts. While Dancer in Rose, Dancer in Blue, Dancer in Plum, and

    Dancer in Silver perform solos on their respective stages, their avatars join Dancer in Black in her sanctuary. Members of the ensemble thus cross paths, enjoying their visitation rites. Music plays under the scene as Dancer in Black addresses new audiences, wherever they might be. She channels private visions into public spheres.

    DANCER IN BLACK: I speak to you from a transitional space, an unmarked passageway. I share with you the sites Ive visited and invite you to explore uncharted territories that lie ahead. Together, well glimpse realms where obstructive boundaries melt away and new spaces of thought, feeling, language, and creativity appear.

    (To the ensemble): I hope youll explore my sanctuary. Youre safe here. Encouraged by their host, the dancers invent rhythmic

    patterns. They work by themselves and they collaborate. To their surprise, Dancer in Rose, Dancer in Blue, Dancer in Plum, and Dancer in Silver find openings to their private domains, spaces they call home. Through trial and error, they discover how to leave the sanctuary and how to return. Along the way they find a network that

    links all their home bases with one another. New routes appear. The dancers become fearless travelers.

    nowcircles overhead. She looks radiant in her iridescent gold dress and flowing cape. The sheer fabric reflects the colors of the other dancers costumes. Crystal jewelry enhances this mirroring impression.

    DANCER IN GOLD (to Arella): Welcome to our magic theatre. Please drop by any time. Were always happy to discuss the repertoire, whether youre interested in the past, present, or future, terms that mean little to us but a lot to you. Arellas repertoire assumes a life of its own with this

    remarkable cast, which resists being fixed in any one form, whether on the page, on the screen, or in the mind. The performers embody stories in motion, characters transmuting, becoming extrasensory forces and colors dancing rhythmically in space. Evanescent designs. Fleeting impressions. Make-believe. Arella tries to grasp the role shes playing in the dramas that unfold around her.

    ARELLA: I imagine myself everywhere and nowhere. My thoughts flow and my work remains fluid, one project spilling over into the other always becoming something else. DANCER IN GOLD: Know how far to venture into the unknownthats the key. ARELLA (to ensemble): Thanks to you all, my next role takes shape. I envision myself as an agent of travel and psychic transport. Ill specialize in imaginary places and secret passageways. Ill conduct guided tours and design itineraries for other time travelers en route.

    The dancers slowly morph back into shimmering rays of color hovering over Arella, asleep on the living room couch. The Tibetan flutist plays in the background. No longer visible, Dancer in Gold speaks from other realms.

    DANCER IN GOLD: We leave behind traces of where weve been, entre to a virtual journey that can be revisitedand reconfiguredat will. Now were all fearless travelers.

  • Homeward Bound (Posted December 2, 1999)

    ost in dreamscapes that recreate memorable scenes, I watch movies play inside my head. As the retrospective unfolds in

    strange temporal and spatial zones, I surrender to the allure of other worlds. Amid the real and imagined spaces through which I navigate, ephemeral scenes drift by. Rhythms and colors sweep me along. On the way I tap into my personal repertoire.

    Once again I discover the spectral dancers, who have become my personal guides. Masters of flight, they enchant from above. Dancer in Gold, the senior member of the troupe, soars above the others and then they vanish, leaving her in the spotlight. Luminous, she undergoes metamorphosis, relinquishing a fixed identity. One by one she becomes the other dancers: Dancer in Rose (young girl), Dancer in Blue (teenager), Dancer in Plum (midtwenties), Dancer in Silver (midthirties), and Dancer in Black (early forties) come to life anew as Dancer in Gold improvises.

    Adept at most forms of contemporary dance, she repeats the cycle several times, each variation more vibrant and colorful than the last. New passageways open. Through subtle gesture and inspired movement, she unleashes creative reserves. After several rounds, the nimble Dancer in Gold resumes her initial persona, and with a few flourishes of her own, she concludes the electrifying performance. Special effects diminish. She flies off, joining the troupe.

    Now the dancers pass over territory I recognize. They fly effortlessly from South Florida to Southern California and back several times, following a circular route. The expedition takes only

    seconds. As though scouting locations for a movie or staging a play, the dancers plan my itinerary for the next phase of the tour. Destinations include Miami and L.A. By the look of things as I zoom in, the New Millennium remains several years away.

    While exploring a stage of the world that remains in flux, I learn to decrypt secret messages. Leah, who made her debut in Visitation Rites, my first novel, returns to help. At the same time, she updates her stories, a blend of fact and fiction channeled through my own memories. Visitation Rites left Leah in 1980 when she was planning to move away from South Florida. Youre about to meet her fifteen years later on her first trip back. This is where my retrospective of the twentieth century begins.

    A native of Miami, Leah has gravitated westward after many stops along the way. She passes for an Angeleno at this juncture in 1995. As you read, check out the hyperlinks Ill be adding to the tales that she and the rest of the cast tell. (Look for highlighted passages, or go directly to lists at the end of each post.) Among other things, youll find leads to a variety of sources that address the characters cultural memories, which are shared collectively and documented across a range of media, including the web. These external sources complement the characters personal memories, which are preserved in Arellas Repertoire. Besides the written narrative, theres also a Multimedia Gallery, where Ill be showing my latest video. Stay tuned!

    If all goes well, Ill be posting installments throughout the month of December until 2000 arrives. Youre invited to join Leah and me as we look backward to move ahead. After the first of the year, Ill add a personal tour of the web based on our memory work.

    contexts than I could present on my own. Hyperlinks embedded within the narrativesand also listed at the end of each entryaccomplish similar goals. For this tour, however, Ive reorganized that material according to selected topics: Literature and Writing; Film and Media Arts; Television; Music; Dance; Theatre and Performance; Visual Arts and Architecture; Philosophy, Psychology, and Critical Theory; Mysticism and Spirituality; Internet, New Media, and Virtual Reality; Postmodernism; Fashion; Public Figures; Historical Events; Social and Cultural Movements; Science and Outer Space; Recreation; Health and Fitness; and Place.

    As the tour demonstrates, most references to these topics in Arellas Repertoire are represented somewhere online. Besides sparking imaginative memory work, the web thus serves as a collective archive that offers easy access to long-forgotten resources and at the same time preserves new contributions. Part of the networked, interactive, multimedia repository that the web supports, Arellas Repertoire has been transformed into a theatre of recollection, and my stories have found a home in cyberspace, where the Multimedia Gallery that complements this tour also resides.
