Transforming Children into Powerful and Confident Artists
May 30, 2008 – 9:28 am
May has been a full month for the Neighborhood Arts Programs. Over 250 youth, 24 teachers, 10 teaching artists, and a dozen community members were busily making Spectacle with Redmoon. Both the Dramagirls and Redmoon School Partnership presented an end of the year Spectacle Event devised, designed, built, and performed by the youth.

Redmoon Family Travels!
May 27, 2008 – 9:35 am
Tell your friends and loved ones in NYC and LA – a Redmoon-affiliated production is coming their way!
FIRST: An acclaimed miniature spectacle created by Frank Maugeri, Redmoon’s associate artistic director, is heading to New York to be a part of The Great Small Works Eighth Annual Toy Theater Festival, taking place May 30 […]
On Dirt and Puppets
May 23, 2008 – 3:35 pm
As Boneyard Prayer draws to a close and I take time to reflect on the process, there is one thing that is abundantly clear to me: I will not miss the dirt. Though this romp through the soil has in fact allowed me to reenact childhood pastimes of digging holes […]
A Better Set of Questions
May 22, 2008 – 9:40 am
As we prepare to close down Boneyard Prayer, a few days away, reflection is only expected. And necessary. We, as artists, hardly know what our work will become or how it will affect audiences, or ourselves. We have loose ideas, random images, impulse towards certain materials… but rarely do we understand […]
Finding Redmooners
May 16, 2008 – 1:40 pm
I am not involved in the casting process. It is a mystery to me. A fascinating mystery.
I wandered out to use the bathroom across from the performance space, and found interns sitting at a desk handing out clipboards with questionnaires attached. Head shots fluttered about the space, actors (who look impossibly […]
Panic!
May 9, 2008 – 4:56 pm
We were dead.
No…Network.
We have risen.
The…Network…is…back.
People are worried. They say, “Help!”
“Where are my files?”
“What happened to my database?”
“Why can’t I print?”
“Why can HE print?”
“Where are the scissors?”
There are answers to these questions.
“Safe.”
“Unclear. We may have to do two months worth of data entry in two days.”
“You are no longer connected.”
“I have no idea. That is […]
Pride and Faith and Spreadsheets
May 2, 2008 – 1:03 pm
It’s no secret around here that I love spreadsheets. Love building them, love editing them, especially love analyzing data in them and using that data to make informed decisions. Even I, though, have to admit that sometimes a spreadsheet is not enough.
I sat there with Chris Schram, Redmoon’s Executive Director, and Rebecca […]
Similar Works
April 25, 2008 – 3:49 pm
It was a privilege to attend the opening evening of Art Chicago 2008. Much of the work was very beautiful, and much of the art shared the dynamic creative personality of Redmoon’s work. Jim Lasko, our artistic director, served on the host committee, which helped gather this tremendous group of artists. There were several […]
The Final Blackout
April 18, 2008 – 2:26 pm
I brought my bright pink water bottle out to the bathrooms we share with the audience. It occurred to me that 10 minutes before show time I would probably run into an audience member or two at the water cooler. I imagined being an audience member seeing a dirt encrusted shadowy grave […]
Musical Inspirations and Transformations
April 11, 2008 – 10:15 am
There are not many things that you can predict will happen when working with Redmoon. Even though I have worked with Frank many times before, I only knew a few things about the music I was going to write for Boneyard Prayer:
About a third of the music was going to be devoted […]
