The Benjamin Xavier Reality
I, a business person 30 years--with no acting background--sprung into Bungee Mind to become the character Benjamin Xavier, aka BenX, a disgraced Homeland Security agent turned self-certified, dual event security person / lay pastor. At a real community arts event, I performed a safety review and blessing of the premises for the audience. Alongside my duties as Ben, I participated in a theatrical workshop with an aspiring high school actor whose character encounters BenX at a laundromat making efforts to ensure the well-being of Latino patrons mistaken for Middle Easterners. Bungee Mind is a massively ridiculous, parallel universe, where I had a blast stretching my being in ways I had not imagined; holistic (and holy) medicine I recommend for all. --Bryant Goulding, Northport, NY
