You may have already seen this on our website or read this in our December newsletter, but the good people at nytheatre.com have selected Flux Theatre Ensemble as one of their People of the Year for 2008. This is an honor for several reasons, first and foremost because it comes from nytheatre.com. Their generosity of…
This was the last Flux Sunday before the trilogy began, and again, it was a full three hours, with scenes from Rob Ackerman’s Volley Girls, Johnna Adam’s Lickspittles, Buttonholers and Damn Pernicious Go Betweens, Jeremy Basescu’s The Will, Mary Fengar Gail’s Beggar At The Feast, and my own 60’s play. Over two months later, I…
Yes, I’ve been a wee bit derelict in posting about our Flux Sunday activities – trilogies will do that to you. And I know that somewhere in the first half of the year, a Flux Sunday went unreported on this blog, a victim to this swiftly tilting 2008. Sometimes this blog feels like the Buendia…
(Photo: Heather Cohn) When you’re in the middle of something hard, it’s sometimes hard to see it for what it really is. So it was for 2008 – what often felt like a series of narrowly dodged crises, minor epiphanies, missed deadlines, brief victories and barely won compromises actually turns out to be an extraordinary…
I just received an urgent email from NY ARTS organization outlining the severity of Governor Paterson’s proposed budget cuts and the effect they will have on arts funding specifically. At the bottom of this post are actions we all can take to help address this issue. And for anyone who thinks one voice won’t make…
One of the joys of working with a company like Flux is being a part of the strange and wonderful journeys that the artists and their art takes. I have been blessed to know David Ian Lee this past year not only as a great actor, but also as a gifted playwright, as evidenced by…
So……this blog is intended primarily as a source for a closer look at the goings-on of Flux Theatre Ensemble and our surrounding community. This means that when we’re in production, that’s what you’re going to read about. And as often as possible, we’re going to write about our ongoing developmental work. Occasionally, we’ll post responses…
I know what you’re thinking, that Flux Fusion was all well and good and informative, but what I really want after the Trilogy is even more Johnna Adams. Fearless reader, get thee to Astoria on Wednesday the 10th at 7PM for a staged reading of her play, Sans Merci!As if that weren’t incentive enough, Angel…
One of the definitions of our mascot word is (according to Merriam-Webster) a substance used to promote fusion, and that definition is being handily twisted here to tout the work of companies friendly to Flux (or those whose friendship we’re courting!) Also, I’ve always appreciated the Night Planner over at Superfluities and Aaron’s What Sounds…
(Photo: Johnna Adams. Pictured: Candice Holdorf, Zack Robidas, Rebecca McHugh) Well, it’s December, which must mean the Trilogy is over, and all the striking and thanks giving made me neglect the last of the press of our gone plays. Here’s a cool interview with 8 Little Antichrists director Kelly O’Donnell on the Neighborbeeblog. (Photo: Justin…
