The Movable Feast's Interests
|
| General | Michael Agresta writes in many genres, but mostly fiction and drama. You can see his prose in The Cimarron Review (this winter's issue), Block Magazine, Quarto, and other fine venues. He writes about love, history, and pirates. As a playwright, he has been produced in New York and Austin. He's working on a play meant to take place in your house. He's a Michener Fellow at UT Austin.
Abraham Burickson is a poet, architect, and conceptual artist. His poetry has appeared in the New Orleans Review, the Sycamore Review, and Epicenter, among others. His architecture has appeared in Detroit, Portland, San Francisco, and is forthcoming in Austin. In 2001 he founded the experimental performance group Odyssey Works, a cross-genre collaborative that created day-long performances for extremely small audiences. He has received fellowships from the Millay Colony for the Arts and the Michener Center for Writers, where he is currently a fellow.
Miriam Greenberg grew up in a dustbowl in the US between Tigertown and Bugtussle, riding goats and catching snakes until she went to boarding school at age 13. She's worked in libraries & bookstores; taught computer literacy classes in a public library; taught high school English rural Japan; eaten marmot with old Chinese guys on a train traveling through Inner Mongolia; hitchhiked to the northernmost city in the world and back; flown kites in Tiananmen Square & slid down the banister of the Great Wall of China; helped start a micro-power [read: pirate] radio station; and attended the Idaho Beard & Moustache Championships (as a spectator). She's currently working on an MFA in poetry at the Michener Center for Writers. Her major preoccupations involve starting (but not finishing) art & documentary projects, and making travel plans.
Joshua Keeling is a composer of chamber, electroacoustic, experimental, and jazz music. He has had performances in Nashville, Dallas, and Dresden, Germany. He is also a classical and jazz saxophonist and plays piano on occasion.
Ray Matthews is co-host and produer of CampCamp, a monthly queer performance event in Austin TX. Along with her intersest in seeing a curating queer and DIY performance art, she has been known to like to be on stage in a various stages of dress and undress. She thinks politics and art can come together to make change, and was deeply inspired being on tour with An Olive On The Seder Plate as one such example.
Jaclyn Pryor is a multi-disciplinary performance artist based in Austin. Previous projects include BREAD, commissioned by First Night Austin (winner of the 2006 First Night International Creative Programming Award), pink: a love courier service, also commissioned by First Night Austin (underwritten by the Still Water Foundation), and floodlines (2004, 2005, 2006, 2007), a multi-year and multi-site specific performance installation in and around Hyde Park. In June, she is taking pink: a love courier service on tour to Portland, Oregon. She likes big art, big ideas, and big love.
Nathan Rostron is a writer of fiction, a reader of big difficult novels, an instructor of swimming, and a brewer of strong coffee. He is also the editor of Bat City Review, a journal of poetry, fiction, and art: www.batcityreview.com.
Erica Saleh writes plays along with various other less definable things. She is primarily interested in putting words beside other words. She is currently a fellow at the Michener Center for Writers at UT Austin.
Priscilla Sample is a second-year MFA playwright at UT Austin. For the last fifteen years she has dedicated her work to supporting emerging playwrights: in Dallas as the Director of the Playwrights’ Project and in New York and Connecticut as the Director of External Affairs for the O’Neill Theater Center (home of the National Playwrights’ Conference and National Music Theater Conference.) She relocated to Provincetown, Mass., where she worked as a producer, director, dramaturg, stage manager, and playwright and this past summer produced and directed a series of workshops and readings about notable women entitled “An evening with …” which included her one-woman play Margo Jones. Also a visual artist, Priscilla specializes in hand-painted textile work, art quilts, functional ceramics and mosaics.
Jason Tremblay is a playwright whose work has been presented in over-sized places like New York and London, smaller much more inhabitable places like Austin, Boulder, and Fort Worth, and tiny far-away places you've never been like Charlottesville and Grand Marais. Highlights of this existence include being baby-sat by Willie Mays, hand feeding candy to Muhammad Ali, and calling the hogs with Bill Clinton. Next on the list is a June presentation of his play for young audiences "Katrina: The Girl Who Wanted Her Name Back" at Northwestern University in Chicago.
Canadian cellist Leanne Zacharias' diverse musical life has been compared to extreme sport. An apprentice with Montreal’s Nouvel Ensemble Moderne, section member of the Houston Symphony Orchestra, soloist with Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra, director of new music for community radio, artist-in-residence at the Banff Centre for Arts, and finalist in the Coleman Chamber Music Competition, she has performed everywhere from clubs to folk festivals to concert halls across North America and Europe. She collaborates with songwriters, architects, painters, choreographers, poets, video and performance artists, has produced original work for BRAVO, CBC and contemporary dance, leads canoe trips, and volunteers with the Sierra Club. Her musical explorations aim to demystify, reexamine, and revitalize art music concert traditions. Local affiliations include the Austin Chamber Ensemble, UT's New Music Ensemble, Audio Inversions, and her own performance project, Music for Spaces. | | Music | The music you hear when you click your teeth together | | Movies | The Magus, The Game. | | Television | The Prisoner | | Books | The Magus. | | Heroes | Zeus and Hera. |

The Movable Feast's Blurbs |
About me:
Three months ago, five strangers filled out questionnaires and underwent an exhaustive series of interviews. Today they are to be the protagonists in a day-long series of performances for which they’ve been denied the script. The Movable Feast, conceived by a collective of writers, performers, musicians, composers, and other artists, will blur the line between life and art, calling into question the limits of theater’s reach into the real and the personal.
..........................................................................
The first scene will be open to the public. Audience members will be invited in as “extras” while the five strangers first encounter the world generated from their lives.
............................................................................
The opening scene will be part of Fusebox’s site-specific performance day and will begin at the Blue Theater (916 Springdale Road, just north of 7th Street ) at noon.
We are: a collective of performers, musicians, architects, directors, actors, playwrights, poets, essayists, students, teachers, accountants, gardeners, graphic designers, stitchers, painters, carpenters, camp counselors, conceptual artists, cooks, video artists, novelists, hitchhikers, half-marathon runners, cyclists, scholars, and social smokers.
