Gun Play

Synopsis:
from the press materials: "Gun Play is a celebration of firearms as they are represented in American popular culture. Drawing parallels between real violence and imagined violence, the performance will recreate the world of 3D first-person-shooter videogames on stage while integrating videogame footage using high-tech video and computers. the audience, wearing headphones (Quake Convention-style) watch the gun and gamer world come to life with an all-star cast of real-life gun personalities like Hunter S. Thompson, Ted Nugent, William S. Burroughs, and John Carmack (the guy who made Doom & Quake, who is personally responsible for major advances in 3D graphics), et al. the cast plays videogames, manipulates realistic weaponry, and step into the shoes of real-life personalities.

redevelop (death valley)

Synopsis:
Conceived, directed and choreographed by Chocolate Factory Artistic Director Brian Rogers, redevelop (death valley) is inspired by his experience of living and working in Long Island City, Queens (the site of an ongoing massive redevelopment project) for many years; and by his fascination with the Gold Rush Era ghost towns of the American West. redevelop (death valley) will juxtapose found footage and field recordings of ghost towns, precisely executed miniature dances, and video captured in real time to construct a series of interweaving visual narratives around ideas of shared, temporary and abandoned living spaces. Separated from the audience by movable translucent panels made from industrial plastic (which also serve as projection surfaces), barely-seen on-stage movements will be performed, captured in extreme close-up by moving video cameras, then repeated, cut up, and mashed atop one another, leading to a sort of densely layered accumulated history of many people in one space over time. Assembled from field recordings and video filmed during visits to ghost towns in Nevada, Arizona, and California (Death Valley); video interviews with lifelong LIC residents; dances made from mortgage calculators and real estate ads; Ennio Morricone-inspired sounds; text compiled from FDR's fireside chats, statements by Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, Mamet's

Selective Memory

Synopsis:
This workshop production is a real time video performance about nostalgia for relationships that never took place, events which never happened; a film which was never made, but which everyone remembers; exploiting the misappropriation of "real" sounds and images to confound, distort, remake and ultimately erase the truth.
