We’re thrilled to announce the first Food:Soul staged reading of a FluxForward play, Adam Szymkowicz’s Marian Smouldering; Or, The True Tale of Robin Hood. On Monday, October 19 at TheaterLab, the doors will open at…
(Photos by Isaiah Tanenbaum: Theatrical Photography. Pictured: Holly Chou. Post by Corinna Schulenburg.) What an amazing night. On September 2, 2015, nearly 100 people crowded into Judson Memorial Church’s Assembly Hall to participate in #SpeakUp: The Street Harassment Plays. Led by Friend of Flux Shaun Fauntleroy, the evening featured seven powerful monologues about street harassment and…
It was a low-key affair for FluxWest’s second gathering at the cheery yellow castle, which meant that we could have beer. Having run up against the holiday weekend, we made the most of our time together and read through three pieces, giving feedback at the end of each one (woot for collaboration!) Pieces worked on included:…
So, hi from the left coast! Let’s start with some truths universally acknowledged: It’s super sunny out here (the Day Star is strong in this land) Angelenos are alarmingly friendly (so much eye contact!) And I miss the frak out of Flux. So, while I am living in a house which can best be described…

Perhaps you’re thinking, “Well, of course Flux Sunday is in New York City, that’s where y’all are based, right?” And until today, you’d be right. Because today, Flux Sunday got bi-coastal. What what!? That’s right. While we made some…
(This interview series features Shaun B. Fauntleroy in conversations with the artists of #SpeakUp. Learn more here, RSVP here, and tell the world you’re coming here.) Why did you get involved with #StandUp? Because I am tired of accepting violence on a multi-daily basis. Street harassment is anything from pressing a groin into your hip deliberately on a crowded subway…

Why did you get involved with #StandUp? Because you and Sol asked me! What do you want people to take away from #StandUp? I want people to realize how common harassment is…
(Post by Shaun B. Fauntleroy. Photo by Isaiah Tanenbaum. Pictured: Shaun in Flux’s Understand Our Ground.) Earlier this spring, a man walked up to me on a subway platform, complimented me rather aggressively, and then punched me repeatedly when I didn’t respond favorably. It happened during a rather hectic period in my life so I didn’t…
(Post and photo by August Schulenburg.) After our hiatus to prepare for and recover from the Retreat, we were eager to return to the friendly confines of Judson Memorial Church for the next installment of Flux Sunday. Our numbers were diminished, perhaps because of the beautiful August weather, but that gave us more time to…
