3PLAY (August 2018). This 3PLAY features new performance from Alison Heimstead, Erin Search-Wells, and Anat Shinar. Three short performance works will be followed by open casual conversation at Fresh Oysters Performance Research:
"Sitting Among the Stars" (excerpt) by Alison Heimstead.
In the last six months I have been researching - little brown bats, moose and other species that arent doing so well in the State of Minnesota. This work has been thru the Bell Museum: Resident Artist Research Program. I have met with driven scientific researchers, seen slides of moose brains, learned about flesh eating beetles, learned about transmitters sending info to satellites to text folks on a DNR crew when a moose was down, and heard about developing fungus in petri dishes in refrigerators. I am beginning to translate all of this research into performance with collaborators: Erik Ehn Playwright, Molly Van Avery - Director, Jim Parker Musician. Learn about these incredible animals and plants and the challenges they currently face. Watch as taxidermy comes to life through this radical fable about climate change, habitat loss, environmental shifts, and alien invaders. What is wildness? How is our Minnesota landscape shifting? How can we be present with all this change and loss? How can we wake to the shared needs of this ecosystem?

"PUMPS" by Erin Search-Wells.
I am working on my impression of Melania Trump. Some of it will not be accurate. There is clothing, perfection, and everything else outside of that.
