When you're out of the habit of shooting film, you take a while to get a roll developed. Like 14 months. But when you finally get it done, you get to relive an entire trip in a few wonderful frames.
Every story and every world that Rorschach Theatre brings to the stage has an element of magic and mystery to it. There is always something to wonder at, something unexpected. And the look and feel of their productions is always persuasive, delicate, coherent, and beautiful.
Truth & Beauty Bombs is the first show I've shot for them, and the space they have created for it is no different: You don't know how you got there, you're not totally comfortable, but you never want to leave.
Truth & Beauty Bombs: A Softer World
Directed and conceived by Jenny McConnell Frederick
Written by Randy Baker, Norman Allen, Heather McDonald, Shawn Northrip, and Alexandra Petri
Based on the web series A Softer World by Emily Horne and Joey Comeau
I've been shooting productions for Flying V for five years, and their work is always visually arresting, playful, unique, and exciting. Their current production of Bekah Brunstetter's The Oregon Trail is no exception!
The Oregon Trail
Presented by Flying V Theatre at the Writer's Center in Bethesda, MD
Written By Bekah Brunstetter
Directed by Amber Jackson
Two months ago, Bob Bartlett, one of the Welders, posted a teaser about his upcoming show: Happiness (and other reasons to die). I immediately sent him the picture above, which I took three years ago, and we were both a little astounded.
I've posted about the Welders before: How they are a group I love to collaborate with because our creative sensibilities meld so well and lead to the creation of interesting, engaging work. Well, in this case, our sensibilities not only were a spot on match, but also, I created my part of the work long before they needed it, in fact, before the play and even the theatre company existed.
So now this picture is a part of Bob's promotion of the show going forward, and I couldn't be happier with this creative partnership that keeps growing, even backwards in time.
Previews start tonight, and you can get tickets for the show here!
