Hi,Sorry to all my fans who have been wondering where I have been (LOL!). Well, I have been busy rehearsing. I laid off from writing because we lost one of our actresses, and it was very sad, since we have been works-shopping the play with her for awhile and she is such a wonderful person…
In the spirit of this post regarding plays that need doing in NYC, I thought it might be fun to give a shout-out to actors I want to write for. Playwrights, I’m sure you’ve had this experience – you see an actor perform and start test driving them in your mind – writing little scenes…
Rob Weinert-Kendt has a great post about the most produced playwrights at TCG’s Member Theatres* (with a few Broadway productions thrown in to boot). Maria MacCarthy has a follow-up looking at the gender ratio of the list; 99Seats and Parabasis widen that lens further; all good reads. These posts got me wondering about productions at…
I am thrilled to congratulate Stolen Chair Theatre Company on their winning The Field’s ERPA Award, which includes a $20,000 grant! Beyond the simple joy of seeing an Indie company snare such a prestigious (an economically useful) award, I’m excited because I love this idea and have been advocating for a Fluxy version of this…
The latest adds: Matthew Archambault: Our intrepid Barry in The Lesser Seductions of History has a web page with updates, now easily accessible through our blog roll. The Wicked Stage: I actually thought this was already on our blog roll…glaring omission amended. CultureFuture: Guy Yedwab is a director/writer/actor/producer who also writes this great arts development…
Take a second to recover from that pretentious post title, and then take a few more seconds to consider that search engines and social media both represent shifts in how we acquire knowledge, and as such, create new models for how we experience story. Still there? The reason I’ve been thinking about this is because…
The observant of you readers may have already noticed, but Flux has begun tweeting about The Lesser Seductions of History. Along with the blog, this is our way of opening up our rehearsal process to you. The tweets take two forms: @LesserSedux I’m posting moments of clarity and hilarity in the rehearsal process as they…
Monday 10.5.09 Another good rehearsal. I really appreciate that we start the reheasals with a discussion of what may have happened to the characters between the years that are not written in the script. It really helps me to connect not only with my character, Marie, but the other characters as well. Also Heather goes…
Is Thomas Cott the Steven Colbert of arts administrators? I ask, only half in jest, based on the similarities between the much lauded Colbert Bump and our own recently experienced Cott Bump. The Colbert Bump is the hypothesis that politicians experience a ‘bump’ in their popularity immediately after appearing on the Stephen Colbert show. Thomas…
Tiffany here,Flux has started rehearsals for Lesser Seductions. Friday night I was really anxious and excited for the rehearsal process to finally begin. A rehearsal process for me is a chance for me to grow as an actor and sometimes as a person. It is really exciting to me that all Flux members are involved…
