Adam read some in High School. Chris has never read Jane Austen. He’s only seen the movies. I AM A BOYS CHOIR’s this is a play by jane austen is an adaptation of a version of a play inspired by our appropriation of all of Jane Austen’s novels, or, specifically, Jane Austen on film and Gwyneth Paltrow’s British accent. Letters. Long, whistful stares out a bedroom window. Dances. Balls. Secrets. Scandal. News from Kent shared between two women dressed in night gowns. Their mother (who is ridiculous) in an uproar over the advantageous marriage of a lesser woman. Demonstrations of accomplishments after supper. Layers upon layers of parlor/garden/lakeside strolling before dinner/tea time/pondside conversations. Moments of love, lust, longing interrupted by sighs of quiet desperation and church giggles. And a despicable “woman” is playing Justin Bieber’s “Baby” on the piano forte. This Is A Play By Jane Austen Mount Tremper Arts Open Studio May 2015 Kate has read it all.

Reviewing slides of champions and reenacting newsreels of runner ups, they seek answers: what makes the perfect figure skater, exactly? can you see it? and why me? why? or how i became an ice princess is a theatrical interdisciplinary work somewhere between a gender studies lecture and an ice skating competition. I AM A BOYS CHOIR delves into the body myth of the female athlete, the writings of philosopher and gender theorist Judith Butler, and the process of earning institutional validation by conforming to specific identity markers in regards to race, class, and gender. Also mini trampolines, blood feuds, sequins, and a lot of Tonya Harding.

Find a partner. Earn money. Buy/have/make things that are functional/ reasonable/aesthetically-pleasing. The only question remaining is “how do I get there?” Wikihow can help (and Martha Stewart can make sure your living room looks perfect once you’re there.) All of this is necessary in a time when residing in a space of not-knowing undermines the efficiency required to reach our goals in the timeliest of manners. But as we scrutinize the reality of our streamlined, quick fix lives, we emerge on the other side - discovering that taking time and talking it through might be the best solution after all. when you're through changing/ you're through changing/ you're through Movement Research February 2015 when you're through changing/you're through...

So Long, Willy (Let’s Go Home) delves into the experience of discovering one’s own otherness alone and at a young age. This work opens up an unexpectedly familiar world of sterilized love, physical difference and material sameness aided by 90’s animated classics and animal adventure romps (including that movie where Michael Jackson frees a whale with the power of music). I AM A BOYS CHOIR remembers growing up and feeling like the only one, while glimpsing into a future in which intimacy is increasingly evasive. <img src="http://payload247.cargocollective.com/1/15/481064/7241907/5-1-of-1.jpg" width="670" height="405" width_o="4096" height_o="2476" src_o="http://payload247.cargocollective.com/1/15/481064/7241907/5-1-of-1_o.jpg" data-mid="45683041" border="0" align="left" data-title="670 — 670 × 405"data-hi-res="http://payload247.cargocollective.com/1/15/481064/7241907/5-1-of-1_2x.jpg" /><img src="http://payload247.cargocollective.com/1/15/481064/7241907/_LTS5188_w_o.jpg" width="670" height="397" width_o="800" height_o="475" src_o="http://payload247.cargocollective.com/1/15/481064/7241907/_LTS5188_w_o_o.jpg" data-mid="46764786" border="0" align="left" data-title="670 — 670 × 397"data-hi-res="http://payload247.cargocollective.com/1/15/481064/7241907/_LTS5188_w_o_o.jpg" /><img src="http://payload247.cargocollective.com/1/15/481064/7241907/_LTS5203_w_o.jpg" width="670" height="334" width_o="800" height_o="399" src_o="http://payload247.cargocollective.com/1/15/481064/7241907/_LTS5203_w_o_o.jpg" data-mid="46764789" border="0" align="left" data-title="670 — 670 × 334"data-hi-res="http://payload247.cargocollective.com/1/15/481064/7241907/_LTS5203_w_o_o.jpg" /><img src="http://payload247.cargocollective.com/1/15/481064/7241907/_LTS5269_w_o.jpg" width="670" height="404" width_o="800" height_o="483" src_o="http://payload247.cargocollective.com/1/15/481064/7241907/_LTS5269_w_o_o.jpg" data-mid="46764795" border="0" align="left" data-title="670 — 670 × 404"data-hi-res="http://payload247.cargocollective.com/1/15/481064/7241907/_LTS5269_w_o_o.jpg" /><img src="http://payload247.cargocollective.com/1/15/481064/7241907/7-1-of-1.jpg" width="670" height="441" width_o="4096" height_o="2698" src_o="http://payload247.cargocollective.com/1/15/481064/7241907/7-1-of-1_o.jpg" data-mid="45683226" border="0" align="left" data-title="670 — 670 × 441"data-hi-res="http://payload247.cargocollective.com/1/15/481064/7241907/7-1-of-1_2x.jpg" /><img src="http://payload247.cargocollective.com/1/15/481064/7241907/_LTS5368_w_o.jpg" width="670" height="481" width_o="800" height_o="575" src_o="http://payload247.cargocollective.com/1/15/481064/7241907/_LTS5368_w_o_o.jpg" data-mid="46764806" border="0" align="left" data-title="670 — 670 × 481"data-hi-res="http://payload247.cargocollective.com/1/15/481064/7241907/_LTS5368_w_o_o.jpg" /><img src="http://payload247.cargocollective.com/1/15/481064/7241907/_LTS5175_w_o.jpg" width="670" height="293" width_o="800" height_o="351" src_o="http://payload247.cargocollective.com/1/15/481064/7241907/_LTS5175_w_o_o.jpg" data-mid="46764811" border="0" align="left" data-title="670 — 670 × 293"data-hi-res="http://payload247.cargocollective.com/1/15/481064/7241907/_LTS5175_w_o_o.jpg" /><img src="http://payload247.cargocollective.com/1/15/481064/7241907/_LTS5164_w_o.jpg" width="670" height="392" width_o="800" height_o="469" src_o="http://payload247.cargocollective.com/1/15/481064/7241907/_LTS5164_w_o_o.jpg" data-mid="46764803" border="0" align="left" data-title="670 — 670 × 392"data-hi-res="http://payload247.cargocollective.com/1/15/481064/7241907/_LTS5164_w_o_o.jpg" /> So Long, Willy (Let's Go Home) LA MAMA NYC, August 2014 "strangely tender" -NEW YORK TIMES Created and Performed by Chris DeVita, Kate D'Arcus Attwell, and...
