Architecting : Playing in Edinburgh Fringe Festival
- words from the road, across the pond
the flight was smooth. and the set and costumes made it across on their boat.
we arrived in glasgow last week and set up digs at our favorite stone house on charlotte street. it was raining but spirits were warm. we had both a travel and and the next day off - a first for the [...]
- At The Barbican!
We’re off to our first day of Tech at the Barbican in London! Glasgow was excellent - all sold out runs full of really excited university students who felt that our work was really speaking to what they want to be making in the art world. It was so much fun to be back with [...]
- everything but the bug juice
the facts
what? the orchard project. a residency in the catskills where the TEAM got to work on the script of THE AMERICAN CAPITALISM PROJECT all day long in a red barn. all meals were provided, and wine at night. we slept in a brown house by a creek that turned into a raging root beer [...]
- Sitting at a table in Annaghmakerring
I almost spelled the name of the location correctly without looking (this title is correct - at least, from an Irish woman!)
So I am learning quickly what a glorious thing an artists’ retreat is. Wishing I was a playwright to get to do these more often! Tonight we had left-overs from lunch for dinner and [...]
- From Jess on travels in Ireland
In a bus from Dublin, 2 hours to Tyrone Guthrie’s estate, by way of London and New Orleans. Hearing we’ll be jumping another (bloody) hour ahead next week. Sleepstrewn through a highway bus astride cowflecked Irish country patch. Rachel is reading Marx.
The Irish gent across the aisle is speaking about clever insanity in the form [...]
- the peculiar spiritual impulse
Historically, I haven’t been much of a reader. Books that I have opened - whether it was to impress a stranger? in the morning by reading Derrida (sort of) on the R train or for high school AP English credits - usually didn’t get much further than the first few dog-eared, heavily notated, coffee stained [...]
- Closing ARCHITECTING in New York
I always write the name of the show in all caps. This is the way I feel about this amazing crazy journey we have titled ARCHITECTING ( among other things ).
The past few months have been the most exhausting and exciting months of my life, and I dare say, the company’s life ( and in [...]
- Rehearsals BEGIN! Under the Radar and P.S.122 here we come…
So today we had the first of our rehearsals to FINALLY finish Architecting. YAY!!! We are chomping at the bit to bring it to NYC audiences as part of the 2009 Under the Radar Festival at the Public, and then a transfer to P.S.122. But actually I have to say this is an incredible part [...]
- Special Visitors OR Pastries with the Minister
This Saturday we jumpstarted our rehearsal process for the newest version of ARCHITECTING, which will make it’s US premiere in NYC this January.
There were two special purposes to this rehearsal ( we start up full time towards the end of November ) : to read the newest script version out loud, and to have a [...]
- Cultural Diplomacy
Hi,
Sorry it’s been a while. The TEAM just was lucky enough to host the Scottish Minister of Culture last Saturday to our glamorous rehearsal space in Brooklyn. It was pretty awesome - we did a warm up preparing to construct the new “Overture” we’re making for Architecting and then discussed both process and company. And [...]
