25CPW Gallery Hosts Blueprint Theater Project's ALLEGRO Beginning 1/14
By: Kelsey Denette Dec. 17, 2011
THE HUMAN VARIATIONS is a four-part dramatic symphony that explores moments when human beings are right next to each other and still deeply alone. Executed using an original theatrical convention, "theality," which juxtaposes expressive movement with hyper-realistic, docu-theater techniques, each part of the serial explores these moments in a site-specific setting.
ALLEGRO takes place at the opening of an exclusive art exhibit and scrutinizes the superficiality of public interaction. The cast includes Kyla Deichl, Molly Groome, Nick Hepsoe, Sarah King, Jillian Mason, Liana Rowe and Zac Walker.THE HUMAN VARIATIONS production team includes Ellen Orenstein (Director), David Alex Andrejko (Playwright), Anna DeMers (Choreography), Nick Lanza (Assistant Director, Sound) and Chip Rodgers (Sound). Blueprint Theater Project Co-Founders/Artistic Directors: Kevin Connell and Ellen Orenstein.Blueprint Theater Project examines adaptation in all its forms – genre, style and content – with source materials that range from the classical to the hyper-contemporary. Our goal is to create theater that rethinks, reorganizes and reconstructs to explore the process of change from one form to another. Significant in this exploration are the many perspectives and means for communication that accompany each specific art form and the ways in which various mediums elucidate storytelling. Further, our work investigates why stories get retold, sometimes decades or centuries later, in vastly different ways while still being produced for public consumption.25CPW Gallery
