* A Chance Shadow /By Double Image Theater Lab *
A Chance Shadow is a poetic play inspired by the Chinese poet Xu Zhimo (1897~1931) and the Spanish poet Federico Garcia Lorca (1898~1936). Xu was one of the first Chinese writers to successfully naturalize Western romantic forms into modern Chinese poetry and Lorca was a social activist who changed the world around him though his unique style of surrealism and theatricality. With their passion for literature, social reform and true love, they changed society.
By using the elements of Shadow Theater, Toy Theater, Object Theater and pop-up art, the show brings the audience into the poets’ romantic and historical worlds.
A Chance Shadow has been in development since 2009 and has appeared at the New York Voice 4 Vision Puppet Festival(2009), International Poppentheater Festival Dordrecht, Holland (2010), International Festival of Puppet Theater Jerusalem (2011), Puppet Blok, Dixon Place, New York (2011), The BRIDGE Progressive Arts Initiative Charlottesville, Va (2011), Puppetry at the Carriage House, New York (2012), and Close To You Puppet Festival Taipei, Taiwan (2012).

Break Legs!!
Hey AM-ers. My school is about to open "Guys and Dolls", so if any of you happen to be in the wonderful town of Atlanta, Georgia, you should totally swing by and see it. It's hilarious, touching, and has musical numbers that will be in your head for weeks. If you want to consider yourself a true musical theater aficionado, you must see this sometime in your lifetime (it's a classic), and I highly suggest this is the production you see. Showtimes are Friday, March 14th at 4:15; Saturday, March 15th at 2:30 and 7; and Sunday, March 16th at 2:30. After the show I'll treat you to the southern delight that is Waffle House. Thanks so much and I hope everyone is well!"
