Brian and Tyler have been pushing the experimental theater opportunities of the projectors. Supporting each other but ending up in different places. I think it was their initial suggestion of projecting onto faces and statues started us in this direction and it is great to see the multiple directions making it more than a one-off idea. Above is Brian's mask with rig to project Tyler's face back onto Tyler's face for a highly mediated and disjunctive take on communication.
Brian's second project involved projecting himself onto balloons. This time spouting a random play list of dialogue that he wrote. It seemed to become increasingly absurd.
Tyler wrote a strong internal dialogue that then he had with himself as projected onto to Ginger. Ginger sat, eyes closed, and let Tyler have his moment.The stand in for the self, the need of others, projecting ourselves onto others, the reciprocal nature of identity — interesting territory these guys are getting at.
