Tucson’s Borderlands Theater and Teatro Bravo of Phoenix come together for a groundbreaking collaboration of digital theatre-making. Based on interviews with DACA recipients and Latinx Border Patrol agents, Antigone at the Border sheds light on the emotional labor and mental health toll experienced by Latinx border communities affected by US immigration policy as both enforcers and the enforced.

 

About the Play

When the body of her deceased brother is ordered to be left in the desert, DACA recipient and humanitarian aid worker, Antigone Guzman, confronts her uncle, Creon Cardenas, the newly appointed border patrol chief of the Thebes sector. A postcolonial reimagining of the Greek classic told through live-streamed video and edited digital media, Antigone at the Border explores age-old questions of membership and belonging.

Watch the trailer!

Employing drone cameras, green screens, and a complex arsenal of high-resolution web cameras, microphones, and Bluetooth technology the artists behind Antigone at the Border crafted a hybrid digital performance that combines elements of film making with traditional theatre techniques. The result is a completely new kind of performance tailored for an online, digital venue that hopes to wow audiences with a mastery of technology and compelling storytelling.

Dusk is directed by Ensemble Member Tyler Gastelum. Artistic Director Maria Caprile narrates.

Dusk will be presented Friday November 6th at 7:30 pm and Sunday November 8th at 2pm. Tickets are only $5 for this play reading. Join us on Opening Night for a special talk-back with the cast, director and playwright Bryan Harnetiaux after the show!

Today's the day!

 

As we await the results of this historic election, perhaps you'd like to think about something completely different.

 

Treat yourself to a Frankensteinian (Frankensteinish?) meal from Feast and listen to me talk about Mary Shelley (and enjoy a cooking demonstration with chef Doug Levy). Here's the link to The Learning Curve to attend the talk and demonstration, and here's the phone number for Feast to order your special meal: 520-326-9363.

 

Then, this weekend, you can come and see our exciting production of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. (Or order the video to view next week at home!)

 

We're looking forward to being with you, dear Rogues, whatever the outcome of today's election is.

 

Thank you for your continued support.

Netflix uses it -- should you? How AI can analyze your script, your proposed actors, your genre, target audience, dramatic conflict, and box office potential?  You've got to hear this to believe it!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This will blow your mind to see page-by page how a computer analyzes a movie script!

 

 

 

 

 

AI comes to Hollywood VIA Switzerland, with a new company, Largo.ai.  They have created a special presentation for IFA members to help us understand how data-assisted intelligence and technology can analyze a short film or feature film's potential success.  This analysis can be performed in five minutes and can be evaluated at the pre-production, post production, or distribution stage of a project's creation.  This helps producers to evaluate a script's potential with the target market, success with genre expectations, how it might compare with similar projects in order to better design marketing campaigns, and make reliable box office predictions.  They work with Hollywood movies, independent movies, and short films to analyze a movie's strengths and weaknesses to guide every step of the process.
