Dear Friends,
Thrilled doesn't begin to capture it!
We are positively elated to announce our upcoming production of Erin Courtney's The Service Road. We're still in the development
stage, but you can catch a sneak peak excerpt at the Prelude Festival, or meet our
Bunraku-Video ‘Big Headed Toddler’
Puppet at the World Maker Faire. We can't
wait to share it all with you!
Field Notes from The Service Road
A violent storm of mythic proportions hits Prospect Park.
The once peaceful service road where a nature guide gives tours
turns strange and even savage as she attempts to find a lost
child. On her quest she meets the denizens of one of the
few natural places left in a large city. The nature guide
is a modern day Hercules – very strong, very loyal, a little
thick, and trying to do penance for a very bad thing she had done
when she was out of her mind. Obie award winning playwright
(Map of Virtue) Erin Courtney examines what it means to be
of service and the true nature of forgiveness.

Meet Our Creative Staff
Puppet designer Cory Einbinder talks about his creation, the
Bunraku-Video Puppet.
|
“We have just completed our
technology residency at the New York City College of Technology, where we
developed the puppet for the character ‘Big Headed Toddler’.
I call the puppet a Bunraku-Video Puppet because, although the
puppet's body is similar to a traditional rod puppet, his face is a
3-dimensional video screen. Since the puppeteer's face seamlessly
transfers to the puppet's face, the puppet becomes a fully interactive
performer that can move and displays a full range of human
expressions.”

the arts through the bonds of collaboration.
We are dedicated to working with artists in a broad

engineers – to create experimental, multidisciplinary work. By
challenging these artists to work in the theater we create new perspectives
for live performance. By integrating live music,
visual arts, and technological innovations with metaphor and narrative
storytelling we create epic experiences that excite the audience's imagination.
