I’m annoyed.
I just saw the Pina Bausch show at Royce Hall which is part of the UCLA live series. I’m a big fan of their theatre series. I just read the review from LA Times of Pina Bausch show and it was somewhat good but disjointed (the review). No linear train of though and somewhat [...]
What’s On Your Mind Designers?
I was wondering today while watching a rehearsal of upcoming show A Street Car Named Desire performed at LiveArts, what do designers think when watching a rehearsal for a stage performance?
