BECKY SELLINGER (A '12)
OH, AND ONE MORE THING
In Becky Sellinger’s amorphous game of chess, she takes on a new directorial role. In oh, and one more thing, seats are sprawled around the room. The audience is floating islands, phantom even, for the performers to travel between and interact with. This structured improvisation brings together several collaborators, Booker Stardrum, Pearse Redmond, Egbert Vongmalaithong and text by Ariel Yelen in an immersive environment stewing in the ghostly aura of Samuel Beckett, The Savoy Ballroom, and Rene Magritte.
ZACHARY FABRI (A '13)
CONTAINER NO. 2
Container No. 2 by Zachary Fabri is the second in a series of works that engages the architecture of a performance space. The piece is structured and informed by the built environment of Skowhegan's storefront, in which program, research, and office areas exist in close proximity. By inviting the audience to follow the action of the performance as it moves fluidly between the ground floor and the lower level, the work complicates the static relationship between performer and audience.
