The pics are in! Here is a little sample of Tyler G. Hicks-Wright’s beautiful work for us – make sure you go to his website and check out more (he has very reasonable rates for headshots, actor types). We’ll be posting more as the days go by. In the meantime, why not buy your tickets…
In order to persuade you to see our show (and see it early – preview tonight!), I offer you this sonnet penned in earnest from the weary workings of a tech-strained brain: So you say you’re going to see our show–Thanks! We know the demands on your attentionAre great – TV, films, books, not to…
We’re in tech and two weeks have past since my last rehearsal report. Here’s what I’ve learned and been thinking about: -The Golden Thread: I’ve always liked this phrase from Steppenwolf, though I’m repurposing it considerably here. The continuity of the audience’s attention, that golden thread, is never unbroken even in the best play; but…
Wondering what our cast does when not staging fiendishly tricky plays about the 60’s? Well, our Barry, played by Matthew Archambault, invents sports! Here is his guest spot on Good Morning America, where he introduces the world to Office Chair Polo. Matt appears about halfway through that link.AND, as it turns out, the theatre blogger…
Fractured Atlas’ Emily Bowles interviewed our Kelly O’Donnell about Flux – check out the interview here. I’m especially psyched with how clearly Kelly outlined our development/ audience engagement programs. And then our Heather Cohn, along with Fratcured Atlas’ visionary founder Adam Forest Huttler, participated in the 4th day of Grant Makers In The Arts Conference,…
I will try to talk about decoherence, a quantum process, without falling into incoherence, because I think that this process is connected to how our play The Lesser Seductions of History works. (Two caveats: posts like this are hindsight peaks under the hood of a process that is mysterious to me as it instinctually happens;…
Taking a break from the theory for a more partcial consideration – Flux needs chairs. No, not Stolen Chairs but the following model from Ikea that we need for The Lesser Seductions of History – here’s the (edited) scoop from Jason Paradine, our Bobby and Production Manager: “We have the unique challenge of needing 9…
Blogging from rehearsal so I’m rushed and sure to miss many worthy shout-outs, but we must start with a reading featuring Flux Member Jake Alexander and a bunch of Flux friends: PROMISED LANDby Cynthia Kraman GenserDirected by Heidi HandelsmanProduced by Ali Skye Bennet and Mark Sportiello Featuring Jake Alexander, Ali Skye Bennet, David Carson*, Zonya…
One of the most useful exercises we did at our annual retreat was creating individual lists of core values in order of importance, and then comparing and quantitatively analyzing those lists. Why the italics for in order of importance? Because the results were truly eye-opening. Previously, when we had talked about our values, we had…
Readers of this blog will know I am an avid amateur of science, and unfortunately prone to drawing metaphorical conclusions from theoretical progress. This post will be no exception. Listening to VS Ramachandran’s 2007 TED lecture on what 3 unique kinds of brain damage reveal about the mind, I was especially struck by his work…
