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….

Flux Sunday, July 17th

By August Schulenburg (What is Flux Sunday?) Our second Flux after the end of Ajax in Iraq was a roll-up-your-sleeves kind of day. We took on a ton of pages from Perse, reaching the climax of the play; we neared the end of Viva Fidel, and we moved towards the middle of Now Comes The…

Exploding Moments: Craven Monkey and the Mountain of Fury

(Photo: Ben Vandenboom) Remember plays? How they’re playful? How they’re about people playing? I may have forgotten that a little amidst all the work of plays, only to be happily reminded by Piper McKenzie’s Craven Monkey and the Mountain of Fury.
