Project Title
Folding Time: An Origami of the Everyday
Fiscal Year Awarded
2016
Grant Amount
$8,000

In this timely trans-disciplinary theater piece, deceptively simple, physically virtuosic, and compositionally intricate maneuvers fold and unfold theatrical time. The elegant complexity of folding (paper, time, lives, events) echoes the systemic complexity of global events (climate change, economic systems) as a change in either domain has formal consequences for both. Devised and performed by artistic co-directors Lisa Fay and Jeff Glassman in collaboration with new music composer Rick Burkhardt, lighting designer Ian Rosenkranz and origami artist Sok Song.
