Box Shy and the PARTY PROJECT

We are back from a brief blog-posting hiatus (somewhat recovered from the hot and sticky summer if fall would only show up for REAL!), and though we were not online much, we've still been up to our usual mischief.

You can see in the previous post that I threw up video from our test run of Box Shy (the first in a series of works that comprise The PARTY PROJECT, see earlier posts under "the party project" label).

Well, we discovered a number of things that we still needed to address in polishing up Box Shy. Our lovely test audience gave us strongly voiced feedback, and we realized that we had skipped over some big steps in our performance making process - namely self-critique.

So, we convened over the feedback and our own notes and started beefing up our little piece into something with a more stable structure. We'll be working on those changes gradually and without too much reporting until we share the piece for the first time at our own party in December (a fantastic celebration of Seen and our supporters, keep an eye out for the date!).

As we incubate Box Shy, we are embarking on the second piece in The PARTY PROJECT. David begins this round of collaborative creation. Look for his stuff in a few weeks.

We're also making great progress with our larger-scale project (and some of the donations that have been coming in are helping us to plan for this! thanks everyone!), These Walls Sing. More on that in an upcoming post to follow very soon!

and there's more... so check in again soon.
