I did a bit of a light installation for the show tomorrow night at 6:00pm and 7:00pm. There will be a Saturday show at 3:00pm. If you are in Charlottesville, VA you should come and say hi. There will be work by Rose Pasquarello Beauchamp, Kiera Hart, and Rachael L. Shaw, as well as guest [...]

Interactive Stage Performances
Wednesday, November 29, 2006
I got really turned on by Joe’s post on Interactivity for the Future. I believe there is a need for change in theatres all around the country to get audiences in their doors and get those butts in the seats of theatres. Especially in today’s world where most people have tons of gadgets either mobile [...]

Stage Performances.
Audiences are there to appreciate it. Actors are needed for the play to live. Directors are there to shape the landscape. Designers are there for the visual landscape. Critics?
I have never been really turned on by critics. I find critiquing one’s work isn’t natural. In the art world, critiquing is sometime ephemeral in comparison [...]
TeamWORK
Monday, November 27, 2006
How many times have you been in a place where you can’t get your design vision across? No matter how many times you have explained or how many times you have shown the pictures, it still doesn’t click. Designer- Sir, I would like to have that light hung there so that I can hit these [...]
Online Revenue for Dance or Theatre Companies?
Saturday, November 18, 2006
I keep thinking that there is a way of making money online through either video content or advertisement to supplement the small revenue that theatre and dance companies earn but I can’t get my head around it. Doug Fox’s Great Dance Blog seems to think there is a way. I, on the other hand, think [...]
Manifestation of Live Arts
Wednesday, November 15, 2006
If I was directing a play I would be certain that there was a structure in place to allow the performer to be spontaneous; you know, the wiggle room! The most mesmerizing stage performance experiences to me were the moments when the actors went on a tangent off script. It seemed as if the connection [...]
Confusing Stage Performances
Saturday, November 11, 2006
As I get older, I can’t stand television. There are some exceptions due to content and those are programs found on PBS and some television series which will remain nameless for the moment. I think that most Americans don’t have the same hunger for a serving of food for thought. I feel the problem partly [...]
Unique and Powerful Voice
Thursday, November 9, 2006
DK ask “Despite the amazing numbers of artists graduating from college, is it fair to think that we’ll have more than ten artists in each genre with a unique and powerful voice?”
I am not aware of ten unique and powerful voices but that doesn’t mean there aren’t any. It also depends on what you mean [...]
State of Affairs Revisited
Wednesday, November 8, 2006
Referring back to my previous post, I meant extinct in a purely sarcastic way. I find Ballet and Opera, like some say, stuck in time. I do however feel that there can be a push to interpret old classics in the same way that post modernists looked at painting by re-defining and deconstructing the classics [...]
