| Sister Carrie - 3 screen projectio |
This was an impressive display of talent by the student performers, writers, and crew members. At the beginning of the (2) week(s), the operas were read for the first time and performed by the end of the week. I don't think I need to describe the difficulty of this. Short operatic scenes were shown each night and each week featured a longer opera. "
Sister Carrie" composed by
Robert Aldridge is the story of a woman achieving the American Dream. "
Rozencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead" was composed by
Herschel Garfein. The second week's performance was the premier of "
Autumn Orchard" composed by
Daniel Kellog and librettist
J. Michael Martinez. It features the powerful story of
Garcia Lorca's imprisonment during the Spanish Civil War.
For the performance, I projected on to three 8' x 24' vertically mounted screens for scene changes. Instead of using MAX/MSP/Jitter as I normally would. I experimented with
Isadora which was simple enough to manipulate the scenic images created by Andrew Metzroth. Many of Isadora's tools are helpful (especially for video), however, I would still prefer to use MAX/MSP/Jitter.
Congrats to Leigh Holman - Producer, Andrew Metzroth - Technical Director, and Halley Albers - Stage Manager
