ABOUT THIS BOOK | CONTENTS
[COVER]
Knight
of 1000 eyes.
is about extending the range of human
perception through movement, philosophical
inquiry and the imagination. The story is
about a gardener who, needing to defend
his patch from thieves, teaches himself
tai chi. In the process, he comes to
experience Chi and we watch his heady
western mind coming to grips with these
energies coursing through the universe as
manifest themselves through insights,
realizations, and perceptual extensions.
He
takes on a name for himself --Yum Chi --
when he gets into the Form. Getting into
the Form grows into the feeling of having
the self and the Self aligned. He
scrambles to make some sense out of his
feelings and studies exotic movement
philosophies and ends up writing a new
commentary on the I Ching. He develops a
series of solo theatre pieces which are
impelled by semantic seed sentences that
force the user into the participation of
identity.
