(What is Flux Sunday?) Our last Flux Sunday before The Lesser Seductions of History takes us over was great, if it nearly killed me getting us there! Sometimes, the amount of roles the playwrights write match perfectly with the attending actors; and then there are times where I have to write us into a balance….
One of the greatest challenges facing the indie theatre field (and so the whole NYC theatre field) is the ability of Equity Showcase productions to transfer to longer runs. The focus of this challenge has been primarily directed towards Equity and the showcase code itself, but there may be something we as field can do…
I just finished a read through of Rami Metal’s lovely play, Lullabye (thank you Mark, Polly, Matt, Lynn, Marnie and Christina) and was reminded of just how many good plays are out there that need doing here in NYC. The idea that most new plays are bad may be true, but it is more true…
We all had a great time at the NYIT Awards last night. We laughed at host Julie Halston, admired Matthew Freeman’s script contributions, loved the documentary of Maria Irene Fornes, grooved with the Brick’s dancing freaks, bowed down before the MFTA, and cheered the winners, most especially our own Asa Wember for Sound Design for…
Our first Flux Sunday at NYR Studios, where Flux is a resident company, was everything we’d been hoping for. We had room to move! Each of our three scenes had a comfortable space to work in, and the results were undeniable. There was a burst of energy and productivity that has me hoping this relationship…
Reason 1: He interviewed me as a part of his playwright series, and I talk about all sorts of things, including our upcoming production of The Lesser Seductions of History. Reason 2: He has posted the cover of the published script of Pretty Theft and it is both crazy hot and a wee bit familiar…but…
(What is Flux Sunday?) We’re back! After a break in August for our 4th Annual Retreat at Little Pond and our Food:Soul of Volleygirls, we’re back for the month of September. We started with a more intimate crowd than usual, but that was lucky for me as I was the only playwright (beedle dee, deedle…
(This is a continuation of thoughts on Ensemble structure – read the first post here.) I just read Rob Cross’ post on ONA, aka Organizational Network Analysis, via Beth’s Blog on nonprofits and Social Media (just the way to start a Sunday). ONA looks like a wonderful tool for analyzing how a company/Ensemble actually works….
Flux is one of the Resident Companies at the newly formed NYR Studios, an artist-led rehearsal and performance rental studio. Through September 30th, NYR Studios is offering discounts on their spaces, and if you mention that you heard about NYR through Flux, you can help us earn a wee referral fee. You get space at…
During the retreat, Flux was blown away reading Ellen McLaughlin’s Ajax In Iraq, a play written for the ART grad program. On Sunday the 6th, Heather and I saw Aftermath at New York Theatre Workshop; last night we saw Bekah Brunstetter’s Oohrah! at the Atlantic. 3 plays over 2 weeks that dealt, in one way…
