I’m increasingly interested in tactics – tangible actions – that we can use to make our audiences feel welcomed into the process of building our creative home. 3 smart tactics that I stumbled across recently: – Theatre As Community Newspaper: I know, having a theatre publish a newspaper sounds like Stegosaurus grabbing onto Triceratops as…
(What is Flux Sunday?) Still trying to play catch up on the Flux Sunday reports, and a rainy day does indeed help. So, cast your minds back to the far gone day of February 14th, where a last minute change of venue has us scrambling to a location where we can only read the plays,…

While her presentation featured some salty jokes regarding the process, not to mention some choice photos, perhaps discretion is the better part of valor here, and I will…

Previously on this blog we looked at VS Ramachandran’s 2007 talk on mirror neurons and phantom limbs. In that post, I imagined how the mirror effects that heals phantom limb syndrome might possibly extend to harmful emotional patterns in the mind of greater complexity, and that theatre, through its use of empathy, could heal these…
Earlier in January, Kelly O’Donnell forward us a link to Peculiar Works’ co-founder Barry Rowell’s blog, A Strange Interlude (I wonder if it is named for one of Eugene O’Neill’s stranger plays which I secretly adore and dream of staging), which featured a look at Flux’s discount ticket deals and made all of our days….

Candice Holdorf is playing principle role Terri Succi in the upcoming film, An Affirmative Act. Michael Davis has founded his own company (thankfully, he’s still in…
