Natural Studies - two operas performed by thingNY
A double bill of new operas presented as part of the Exponential Festival. Joseph White's latest opera You Against Nature catalogues various scenes of eccentric attempts at radical self-isolated decidence. Then, thingNY's new collaboratively created project Mouthful probes our ancestry (real and imagined) for clues to why we eat (and excrete) the things/way we do.
The Brick Theater. Brooklyn NY.

Between Two Knees by the 1491s
The subversive intertribal comedy troupe The 1491s (Reservation Dogs) created a slapsticky American history with songs, dance, deer heads, and boat-loads of props. It was a huge hit at Oregon Shakespeare and Yale and Seattle Rep and I'm happy they brought me on to vocally coach the performers and lend an ear in the room to the musicians performing ... in like space helmets and stuff. Perelman Arts Center. New York NY.
