WHAT WE'VE BEEN UP TO! WHERE HAVE WE BEEN?

We're happy to report we've not been lazy.

It's just been hard to make this happen when we've been working so much.  ARM (Arm Rose Marsh) is by day the AD of the Samuel French Off Off Broadway Short Play Fest, EL BEAU (Eric Lewis Beauzay) has been up to this, this, this, this, and this.  So lots of stuff.  PLUS we've moved, had a DJ cat baby, and are working on actively starting a design collective, SUPER DOPE DESIGNEE TIME. Creations abound! We'll be posting photos of designs soon, but for a pretty good idea of aesthetic and angles, visit Eric's PINTEREST page, where he's been throwing up the goods and collecting research.

A little recap having to do with our performance of ACRES OF CLAMS at Ars Nova:  It went swimmingly!  We were so happy, thrilled, titillated to present the work to a sold-out, enthusiastic crowd, who song along, swayed, and chanted to the music of WASHINGTON STATE!!! We had audience representing from Maple Valley, Vancouver, Bellingham and Ferndale, Moses Lake, Seattle, and Vancouver Island, so all in all a very Northwest evening, full of facts and fun and beer-swiggin'.

PHOTOS: Acres of Clams!

Photos from the 2011 AiB SITEfest production of ACRES OF CLAMS are finally here, thanks to our friends and lovers and fans of the show.  In case you might of missed it (and it's possible, considering the right-appropriate, torrential Washington State downpour), the show marked a sold-out success for us, and resulted in fully bellys, good clean jams (save the song 'bout Savage Poon) and some reckless square dancing (the Washington State Dance!

New News.

Two big things, buddies:

1) UNTITLED TRAVELOGUE PROJECT is being revised and reworked. From basic footage in Decemeber, we've decided to expand the project into a web-based performance work...more on this coming in Summer 2011.

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! UNDERGROUND ZERO FESTIVAL!

We've reported that Eric has an opera of sorts featured in the 2010 undergroundzero Festival at PS 122. He's the Scenic Designer. What is the Underground Zero Festival, you ask?  "undergroundzero offers a unique flying repertory of innovative work by renowned local and international theater makers. Artists bring a production of their choice to this summer laboratory where risk-taking is encouraged and expected," says the website.

Here's the complete line up courtesy of our friends at CULTUREBOT. (of course, you could just visit the PS122 website as well.)
