the first challenge
touring a produciton presents the creative team with a number of very specific challenges. one challenge has to do with the problems of space. our strategy once in berlin will be to examine the possibilites of space and the different ways the venues might affect the set material in the show including the running order. very exciting , but not a strategy for the weak at heart.
this type of staging seems to have a lot of broader importance to me, for it communicates a reponsiveness (sp?) on the part of the practitioner to the environment you use.
only time left for a question before i have to speed my way to the airport where i will be meeting up with gary, pip, kim, steven, amy, and steph. this from emmy:
'Hey Dustin
That's fabulous. Berlin. Wow.
Where can I find out more about your show and dapopo?
Emmy'
thanks for that.
well, here is some stuff on the net about the show and the company.
the mention from our friends at the coast:

GaRRy, again.
My friend Mark Wolf suggested some info about the show might be useful. Each scene (there are 11) was written by a different writer. The issue of space arises in fitting each scene to a site-specific area.
There are, for example, 3 monologic scenes: Sandy Keith's Head (by Dustin Harvey, performed by Steven Bourque), How To Become A Terrorist in Ten Easy Steps (by Scott Hicks, performed by Kim Parkhill) and Mary Clifton (by Fabien Melanson, performed by Steph Berntson). One's a decapitated, fast-speaking head; another's Sandy Keith's wandering, talkative ghost; the last, Keith's jilted mistress, part spoken word, part song.
More information elsewhere on the blog.
