The COLLISIONWORKING Series, Revisited (parts 1-4)

Now that the three shows are over, for those who didn't bother to click over and read the seven pieces I wrote about them, Berit, and myself at The Brick's blog, B(rick)log, to promote the shows through that outlet, I might as well reprint the whole series here for your dining and dancing pleasure..

Some of them are pretty long, so I'll put them each behind their own cut, and you can look at them as you please and at your leisure.

Here's the first four - an intro to the company, and pieces about Everything Must Go and Spell:

( Part 1: INTRODUCTION )

( Part 2: On EVERYTHING MUST GO )

( Part 3: On EVERYTHING MUST GO and SPELL )

( Part 4: On SPELL )

COLLISIONWORKING VII: - postscript

Final post in connection with the three August shows is up at The Brick's blog, B(rick)log.

The post itself is HERE.

Primarily, as mentioned in the previous post here, about influences, and containing several videos from Frank Zappa, Ernie Kovacs, and Negativland, and a mention of Harvey Kurtzman.

Don't play ball.

COLLISIONWORKING VI: Harry in Love - part two

The penultimate installment of my posts at The Brick's blog, B(rick)log is up, HERE. It's listed as being the last, but I'll have a postscript entry up later today - just some influential videos to wrap it all up - maybe late for any kind of promotional purposes, but what the hell, it'll feel more structurally sound to me.

COLLISIONWORKING V: Harry in Love - part one

I've written two posts on Harry in Love: A Manic Vaudeville for The Brick's blog.

Part One is up now, HERE.

Part Two should be up tomorrow morning.

Though these are referred to as the last two there, I actually intend for there to be one more after these - maybe tomorrow afternoon - a final summary one with influential videoclips.

Now, off to tonight's Everything Must Go . . .

COLLISIONWORKING III: Notes on Inspirations

My third entry on The Brick's blog, B(rick)log, concerning some of the inspirations and connections for and between Spell and Everything Must Go, is up, HERE.

Among the influences discussed:

Today, rest. Three more performances of Spell, Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday; two more of Everything Must Go, Thursday and Saturday; and two more of Harry in Love, Friday and Sunday.

Moira Stone, Fred Backus, and Alyssa Simon in Spell, from the tech booth, a couple of performances ago.
