Flux Sunday, August 21st

(What is Flux Sunday?) We had one of the biggest actor turn-outs ever for this Flux Sunday, and it was exciting! Playwrights: Larry Kunofsky (So Retarded), EM Lewis (If I Did This), Kari Swenson Riely (The Bicycle), August Schulenburg (Jane the Plain) Directors: Heather Cohn, Leigh Hile, Brian Pracht, Alisha Spielmann Actors: Lynn Kenny, Jason…

I AM THEATRE: Carissa Cordes

Flux is thrilled to be participating in the I AM THEATRE initiative launched by Theatre Communications Group (the place where Tiffany and I spend our days). 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…

Theatricality

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…

Flux Sunday, August 14th

(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…

Have Another #7 Pictures

(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…

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…

Back From The Retreat

(All photos from August Schulenburg’s iPhone) We’re back from our 6th Annual Retreat at the Little Pond Arts Retreat in Nazareth, PA. The Retreat is always an exhausting and exhilarating week, where we fit more theatre into a single day than seems possible and then party late into the night. This retreat was no exception…

Dog Act Review: Jen Gunnels, The New York Review of Science Fiction

(Photo: Isaiah Tanenbaum. Pictured: Becky Byers, Squish, Liz Douglas) In this case, very much better later than never. Jen Gunnels for the New York Review of Science Fiction is only available in hard copy; perhaps apt for a play about what happens when the digital world disappears, and takes almost every piece of cultural memory…

Flux Sunday, July 24th

(What is Flux Sunday?) Our last Flux Sunday before we leave on our 6th annual retreat was our biggest yet, and it’s a shame to end that the momentum just as it was getting going (and yet, we’re glad to go). We also finished Perse and Viva Fidel, two plays developed entirely at Flux Sundays….
