The couple are having trouble sleeping together, but life goes on and the magical acts allude to the more depressing facts of life. | ![]() Construction workersThe rooms slowly build with the kitchen, bedrooms, dining, and bathroom. | ![]() Stairs and constant flow of peopleThe stairs create this movement that is liek an escalator. The repetition of people marching up and down carrying on with the dancing moving in theme of a new home. |
![]() Marital problemsGeoff Sobelle's Home shows drama and laughter that is pantomimed. | ![]() The bathroom was the best partthe bathroom was full of naked bodies. They magically appeared from behind the shower curtain. | ![]() busy peopleThe day begins and the sun rises, the grandmother has her coffee, and the onslaught of activities calls for different wardrobes. The pace picks up and the carthartic episode is funny and a mimetic reality that is over whelming. |

![]() StrindbergRich People Need It, Poor People Have It, and If You Eat It You Die | ![]() Bainbridge greenThis is a island that for a short while becomes a fantastic mirror reflecting light and sharp sounds of another world.

![]() Nailed to a cross sex position 101I imagine the guys that want to be dominated. I can see the guilt in Burns face, and a pleasurable fantasy somewhere in between fiction and memoir. | ![]() Corrina Burns presents BindIn a three course theater meal at the Drake alongside Broderick Jones and Bob Stineman. First, The Turn of the Screw with little vision into the dark novella by Henry James. The second act is ridiculous cartoon that breaks the tension. And Lastly, Corrina Burns comes out after performing as the prude governess in the Turn of the Screw, and tells a hellish story of the sex industry in Quacker Old City Philadelphia. | ![]() BindThe waving hands in this performance distract us from the pornographic ideas, or maybe they give us the most aspects of the fleshy situations. |
![]() Ubu and FaustFringe Festival 2017 | ![]() Puppet show by Broderick JonesBritish side entertainment is hilariously difficult to stand. It is obscene and before the puppet show begins the puppeteer explains how he has been drinking whiskey all night to prepare. | ![]() A menacing grinThe puppets are for the most part focusing our attention on the fact that this is about something real. |
![]() Faust makes a pact with the DevilThe police are involved and the flying man bursts into flames and ends with the audience's own sound effect (spontaneous combustion) | ![]() Ubu and Faust combinedThe style of Ubu and the ill fated Faust is a combination that is artistic genius. The drawings for this show were extremely easy considering the rich material I was working with. | ![]() The Turn of The ScrewAdaptation of Henry James novel |
![]() Turn of the ScrewThe set is covered in shadow, and highlights the maneuver of the two person play around a stair and bannister platform. | ![]() The governess and sexual innuendoThe man and woman in this victorian tale revolving around children and a mother figure is a complex psychological thriller. | ![]() The butlerThe hawks position above the stage, and the quick turn of a slight expression shaded with disgust becomes alarmingly awkward. I was paying close attention to this person with multiple personalities, and the adaptation of the novel shares a glimpse into Henry James characterization. |

![]() Marx played by Bob WeickHe comes into this basement lit with a strong fluorescent bulb. Marx in Soho tells the story of a carefully articulated political view. It is interesting to compare Marx to his contemporaries. | ![]() Drunker darker emotional MarxHis wife encourages Marx to write. His daughter fights him on his views. The drunker he gets the brighter the light on the working class becomes. | ![]() Marx in Soho is a reenactmentReenacting the socialist views against the establishment. |
![]() Marx, Bakunin, and PeepersThe portrait of social awareness is a beautiful array of characters. Marx for one seems to be a writer more than an activist like his other contemporaries. When he says, "Marx is not a Marxist," I think this is what Weick means. | ![]() Chris Davis and Mary Tuomamen | ![]() The Alchemists |
