Referees are needed. Why "Coreopsis" ? "Coreopsis""Kore-Opsis??""Maiden-Looking???????"Like a bright little wildflower, folk, myth, and ritual theatre grows where it can, blooms brightly and seeds itself for future generations. There is an onomatopoetic reference to Kore, the Maiden of the Eleusinian Mysteries in simply saying the name of this wildflower. By doing so, one may evoke the image of the Court of Beautiful Dances, a place where ritual theatre flourished for many thousand years. Like wildflowers, folk theatre flourishes in unexpected places: street corners, alleyways, open fields and along roadsides. It is my hope that this journal will like wise flourish and become part of the whole that keep the traditions alive and flourishing. kōrēŏpˈsĭs, or tickseed, names for species of Coreopsis, a chiefly North American genus of the family Asteraceae (aster family).
