Presenting at Conference "Crusing in the Ruins" @ Northeastern U. Sept. 22

Saturday, Sept. 22nd, 2pm
Northeastern University
Curry Student Center, McLeod Suite B, rm. 320
346 Huntington Ave., Boston, MA

I will be giving a brief presentation at the conference Crusing in the Ruins, organized by the BABEL Working Group.

The talk will be entitled Rhode Island Murder and Horror Stories in Performance: Adam Emery, Mercy Brown, and the Devil’s Footprint and I will discuss setting past and contemporary Rhode Island folk, horror, and murder stories to performances, including the projects Mercy Brown and the Devil's Footprint and The (unfinished) Ballad of Adam and Elena Emery.

I will talk about reenactment, playing with bones, haunting the scene of the crime, seance, and using these things to try to understand incomprehensible stories.

dance team!

Had two fantastic first rehearsals this week with the four dancers in this piece:

-Stephanie Turner, Brandon Shaw (interpreting Adam/Elena Emery)
-Henry Nicholas and Laisha (interpreting Crystal/Jason Bass)

I'm very lucky to have them on board!

It's great to have actual human beings up at the performance space which was previously only filled with electronics, fabric, and media junk (including me).  The blood's starting to circulate...
