Telescope Accident [in progress, first workshop June 2009]
A high-tech, integrated-media performance anchored by a rich visual life and creative story-telling techniques, Telescope Accident is a layered tale about deep-sea and outer space exploration, survival skills, homesteading, and boat-building. The piece explores several narrative strains that ultimately collide as characters, memories, families, and loves careen together from far away in time and space.
Presented using a unique tele-present communication system between collaborative partners The Seoul Institue for the Arts and LaMama (NYC).
An initial workshop period will take place in Korea and New York in June 2009.
