Neovoxer
live performance film screenings
March 20, April 17, May 7, 2002
Directed by Michael Pope, Neovoxer is a silent film which is often screened with a live experimental orchestra. Painted models holding extended, slowly shifting poses are often included as a performance component. I wasn’t involved in making the movie, but I helped out with some flyer graphics, and coordinated/painted models for a few of the screenings. The screening programs shown below list many of the people involved in making the movie and performance screenings.

Metropolis
interactive performance
The Shadowbox Collective
April 4, 2002
This performance was one in a series of experimental interactive theater pieces staged at various restaurants and clubs around Boston by various groupings of artists performing as The Shadowbox Collective, under the lead of Amanda Palmer. For this performance, the film Metropolis was screened as a backdrop to our loosely scripted characters interacting with random bar/restaurant patrons. My character was a Prohibition era, southern California lady, who was interested in becoming an actress, and also in recruiting Prohibtion card signers (whilst secretly sipping from a flask.)

Hotel Blanc Benefit

“Thirty-plus actors, writers, musicians, film-makers, artists and origami-folders donated their time, creativity and energy to create a beautiful and bizarre night of live theater, in which the lines between real and unreal were sometimes blurred to the point of complete confusion.” -quoted from Hotel Blanc program notes.
The sketchbook page above shows my notes for my Hotel character, plus one of the dozens of flowers I drew and cut out as part of the performance. The clue card is from a scavenger hunt.
