A super-fast reminder that amidst the flurry of new membership, weddings, and the preparation for a fall chock-full of exciting projects (stay tuned!), Flux is attending tonight’s New York Innovative Theatre Award ceremonies. We’ll be performing a short play and expressing our very humble thanks as we accept the Caffe Cino Fellowship Award, crossing our…
Perhaps you remember this set from Ajax in Iraq: there was a lot of sand, too. and a giant map. Or this set, from The Lesser Seductions of History: circles! Or this set and costumes from A Midsummer Night’s Dream: how young we all were! What do all these things have in common? Their designer,…
We’re continuing our participation in the I AM THEATRE initiative launched by TCG with Member Isaiah Tanenbaum. If you haven’t already, be sure to also check out Carissa Cordes’ video. Isaiah auspiciously began his time with Flux by playing Gutty, the obese, single-minded deposed despot of an imaginary country in Rue. How to top that?…
(What is Flux Sunday?) If the previous Sunday was the Flux of the actors, this Sunday was the Flux of the playwrights – as many strong pages as we’ve seen in a long time, and despite my best attempts, we simply could not stage them all. Playwrights: Johnna Adams (The Anguisher), Fengar Gael (The Cat…

This is an amazing project that I’m thrilled to be working on, and so was eager to get Flux involved. Kelly O’Donnell shot some videos after a recent Flux…
Isaiah here with yet another overly-long, thoughtful-to-the-point-of-pedantry post. So, over at HowIRound there’s a very interesting piece by Lydia Stryk about this “theatricality” thing. You should definitely read the whole thing (and the comments, and the response at Parabasis, and the comments there), but here’s the money quote if you’re pressed for time: Theatricality in…
(What is Flux Sunday?) Our first Flux Sunday back from the retreat had a smaller turn out, but that allowed us to do an exciting thing. We staged and shared four plays: two in the first hour and a half, and two in the second. This led to a bunch of rushed choices, but all…
(Don’t you want to Have Another with these peeps? Photo: Alisha Spielmann) Our seventh Have Another was a particularly joyous affair, feeling as it did like an echo of the happiness of the Retreat. With our usual photographer Isaiah Tanenbaum unfortunately absent, we turned to the mighty lens of Alisha Spielmann, who also somehow found…
(Photo: Isaiah Tanenbaum. Pictured: Becky Byers, Candice Holdorf) On Monday, August 15th, Have Another returns, and this time, we’re bringing some of our favorites scenes from the Retreat! Come and find out what was going down at the Little Pond Arts Retreat, and share a drink or three with us. We’ll be returning to the…
