As we come back to following the progress of July 20th, the GREAT BLOG OFF around the globe, we come to Newfoundland, home of Artistic Fraud. Specializing in “chorus based work,” the group is directed by Jillian Keiley and Robert Chafe.

As the video on their site will tell you, in the past 9 […]
After working as a stage manager for independent theatre in Toronto for almost a decade, I was lucky enough, in the summer of 2006, to be working at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival with a show from Volcano. We were performing at the Traverse theatre for the last two weeks of August - one of my […]
Howdy, guest blogger Karl here. This post takes the Mountain Standard Time Zone literally, with a look at the Mountain Standard Time Performance Art Festival.
Now, I’ll admit that I found this by googling “Mountain Standard Time Arts”, but a causal browse on
their website revels a lot beneath the generic title. The first festival was in […]
On my shelf sits a book, a black book with a picture of a curly-haired smiling lady on the back. It’s called “Improvisation for the Theater” and is written by drama pioneer Viola Spolin.
Her son, Paul Sills, died of pneumonia today at age 80, having continued his mother’s work and shaped theatre as we know […]
“Embrace what frightens you. Get some new experiences.”

Over the weekend I’ve been in Fort Lauderdale as part of a performing arts seminar. Part of it was myself and others doing some Japanese-based performance art, something like a cross between butoh and kabuki and a post-modern aesthetic. There were other […]
“Company”
Last night’s presentation on Great Performances was as good as promised. Anyone who has ever liked Seinfeld or Sex and the City will appreciate it - in fact, you might think the play was a rip-off of those ouvres until you realized that Sondheim wrote it in the 70’s. The music is also melodic enough […]
This video, courtesy of a friend of mine in IL, is absolutely my favorite kind of performance art. It captures the beauty and grace of everyday things, forces people to try, at least somewhat, to figure it out. If you look at the expressions on the people around as they look at the performers…there’s smiles, […]
I’ll be stage managing the show portion of this festival in the beautiful Memorial Union Theatre in Madison, WI. But the entire weekend is going to be loads of fun:
he Madfest Juggling Festival is approaching!! The 47th Annual Madfest will take place on January 17,18, 19, and 20. There will of course be a Juggling […]
Every once in a while I like to indulge in this pleasant little vice. I’m not proud of it - it’s a little embarrassing, to be honest - but at the same time, it’s almost necessary, a requirement of the Bachelor of Science degree that I earned (and will be paying off…forever).
I have to indulge […]
Many thanks to BeckyLoooooo for providing me with yet another reason to go to Seattle: Point Break LIVE!
Now, here’s the fun part: this is actually one of my favorite movies. Specifically, the part where the lead jumps out of a perfectly good aircraft without a parachute just to make sure the bad guy doesn’t get […]
