August Open Rehearsal Pictures

Charley Parden sent along these photos, images from our August 22nd open rehearsal of TEXT/PLAY/ORCHESTER outside of the Goddamn Cobras Annex. In 'em, we are testing/working/rebuilding our technologies/movements and exploring the silence in the piece (it's dark in places, and it gets a little lulling.) The result, of course, is a kind of party--our player set around chatting, while we worked to get the technology up and working. When we did text--the motion of the player was executed without the knowledge of those around them, resulting in some kind of craziness (thanks be to Charley for documenting the caboodle.)


Here's it happening:

BABYSKINGLOVE's THE DINNER FAMINE

Go see this show by our friends BabySkinGlove:

 

It's a fantastic show; an amazing time; a delight; a very fun evening!

UNTITLED TRAVELOGUE PROJECT.

We're headed to Washington, Oregon, and California December 22-January 1st to a) see family and friends, b) connect with some artist in that regions regarding future projects and c) make some experimental theatre.  

Enter our untitled travelogue project: a theatre/film experiment in remote location (hidden spaces) and text.  The project will following a set 2 person scene, 2 minute scene, that is played out over a series of 15 remote locations down the West Coast.  Each showing will feature a constant player (Amy) and an unknown, who is new the play, and thus experiencing the work as both a participant and a spectator.

Our remote locations, which are currently carefully hunted and curated by Eric,  are designed to amplify the themes of the 2 minute text: islotation, alienation, and environment.  

The project is still very much in infant stages, and of course, we are wild about the challenges: weather, cold, located our players, transpertaions, and creating vast theatrical space on a dime (we are hoping the words do a lot.  Of course, every scene and 'playing' is documented; so we'll be posting the video as soon as the project is complete....

BACK, and with news....

 So after about a month hiatus, we are up and live again, with exciting news: we'll be re-mounting PINEAPPLE LUST, fully-realized at the March 2011 Goddamn Cobras Supper Club.  The theme of this Brooklyn-based gathering of foodies is "Food and the Future" and our 15 minute space-fruit intercourse section will serve as kind of a performance-dessert.  Watch for rehearsal pictures and video, drawings, music, and lengthy discussion of new design ideas.

Just a treat:

NEW VIDEO!

We assembled this video from earlier work, late this summer, some workshops we did with Jason Gray Platt.  Enjoy!
