Behold the Evacuations

Here are some snapshots from our recent workshop of Daily Evacuations by Dan Basila. Dan flew in from NY, and we all had quite a time taking over the immoderately decorated "club room" of a local apartment complex turned senior center. Pictured: Anne Putnam, Travis Dean, Lana Dieterich. Not pictured: a full-scale nativity scene, a Christmas tree, and an animatronic Claus family.

It Looks Like Detroit is Coming Back.



I went through a period when I was obsessed with certain types of SPAM email. The type that I actually looked forward to seeing in my inbox were those that combined words and sentences from a countless number of newspaper articles or literary works to form dada new creations. Their existence was often entirely incomprehensible... no links, no ads, nothing but oddball composition.

DAILY EVACUATIONS



We're seeking performers over the age of 55 for a workshop of a new play by Dan Basila. If you're not familiar with the great Basila, this review will give you a pretty good idea of the strange world that his writing inhabits. As an added bonus, anyone chosen to participate will probably get to say (or sing?) a few of the following words: anodyne. hermitage. disacquaint. guttural. stench. buckets. drain. jowls. No prior performance experience is necessary, but participants must be available December 2nd through 8th and comfortable speaking crude language. Email us if you'd like to learn more.

Guerillas in the City



What's this? The NY Times reports on a project very similar to the guerilla musical theatre project undertaken by Rubber Rep in 2001. We're not suggesting foul play here, but it's nice to be ahead of the curve.

Two thoughts:
  • Based on the video of the NY project, I think we did it better. A single person singing on the streets of Manhattan seems pretty everyday. My first response is to assume they're either a panhandler, a little crazy, or on their way to rehearsal. While our performances started small--usually with two or three people humming or tapping a computer keyboard or shuffling their feet--by the end they would always evolve into large scale extravaganzas: choreographed car horns, kick lines, and fists pumping in the air. We took great care to integrate the performers into the environments and to give the illusion that everything was occurring spontaneously. It didn't always work, but when it did...

  • Of course, the quality of the prose in the New York Times article makes the newer project sound infinitely more sophisticated. We tried to pitch it to the Times, but could only summon a few less-than-illuminating stories in the Lawrence Journal-World and the University Daily Kansan. It didn't help that we encouraged our cast to uphold the illusion even after the performances were over. Reporters (and police officers) don't enjoy hearing things like: "Why, I've never experienced anything like that before... I just suddenly felt the need to sing and dance."
