[SDS] Experimental Performance Rehearsal II

[Frank Riccobono]

Hey Guys,

Michael Chladil, resident sound designer at DeBaun, and SDS alum from 
2001 asked me to pass this on.  It's a really interesting opportunity.  
You should try to participate if you can.

-----------------------

Seeking actors, dancers, and technical crew for further digital 
performance experiments.  A couple of weeks ago, I spent an afternoon 
experimenting with ways to combine typography, audio, and movement on 
stage.  Text and audio from "fight" scenes in Tom Stoppard's 
_Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead_ and the film classic _Who's 
Afraid of Virginia Woolf_ were performed using an instrument I created 
for my Masters Thesis at  NYU.  A small group of us played with 
different ways to layer these elements 
<http://drop.io/r_and_p_deb_oct_2008> to understand how they can lead to 
more engaging performances. 

Next Wednesday, November 19, from 1-5pm in the DeBaun Auditorium, I'll 
be following up on these experiments with my collaborator, and a 
choreographer from Boston will direct movement on the stage.

There are some cool technical things I can share with you, but what can 
be even more exciting is participating in the process of developing new 
ideas with a group of creative people.

thanks,

Michael Chladil
