Meeting, Important - an art.party workshop

Sunday, August 7th, 2011

Loyal readers, this is it: part three of our three-part blogsperience devoted to the creation and execution of a workshop production of art.party’s new play Meeting, Important.

First, we teased you.  Then we showed you some pictures of hard-working work in CT.  Now, we take you inside the last week to show you pictures from the workshop itself.  We began with a three-day intensive at the CSV Cultural Center, moved to Space on White for an afternoon, then hit NYU’s Pless Hall for the actual production.  The week featured the art.party minds of MB+JB+LF+DB+MB and the acting stylings of Mikaela Feely-Lehmann, Lisa Birnbaum, and art.party members Dave Ingber, Jojo Karlin, and our newest addition, Nick Delany!  Check out the fotos - and stay tuned…

Let’s table this discussion, then?  It was lovely MEETING everyone who came out for the workshop - Samantha will be sure to let you know when we need you to fly out for the next quarterly meeting.  In the meantime, run the numbers.  We’ll be in touch.

How We Create

Tuesday, August 2nd, 2011

An unprecedented look into the art.party process - brought to you be Instagram, Connecticut, and a whole lot of creative juices.

Over the weekend of July 28-31, art.party members Mary Birnbaum, Jess Burkle, Drew Broussard, Leticia Frazao, and Mattie Brickman put their (admittedly very pretty) heads together to bring our next script to life.  Luckily, we were along for the ride taking pictures - and we even got the okay to share some of them with you.

First, it’s all about the pen and paper.  Lots of paper.  Very few pens.

So then we move onto the computer.  All of us, all at once.  Pretty snazzy stuff, those computers… and how about that Internet, huh?

Finally, we go back to the pen and paper to make edits.  Leticia especially relishes this part.

I think Drew might’ve been in the pool again at this point - edits stress him out.

Eventually we left the Birnbaum Haus and returned to the city, armed with a fully realized (if not fully complete) script.  We can’t tell you too much about that right now… but we’ll definitely show you pictures this weekend.
