Impossible Tea Party

Wed, 01 Oct 2003 00:00:00 -0500

Performed in October 2003 at the DUMBO Arts Festival as part of its Water Art section: an experiment in sophisticated not-drowning.

Four floating platforms, designed by Fluxer Brian Matthews, were set out on the East River along with a floating tea table, everyone dressed for a Victorian tea party. From the shore, the audience ordered cups of tea using semaphore flags; the performers then had to reach the table with ropes and small paddles to make them.

Miracle on 43rd Street

Sat, 26 Apr 2003 00:00:00 -0500

Miracle on 43rd Street: the tour & the mischief took participants by bus to the BQE end of 43rd Street in Queens and left them to walk back to Flux Factory with a map they were given. Flux Factory described the street as “the Yellow Brick Road without the colors or the bricks and straighter” — the catch being the map itself.

Recorded on an earlier CV as Miracle Mischief, a film.
