Paper Chairs often like to combine various multimedia such as projection, music, dance, lighting and a multitude of textures via paint, fabrics, water to create visceral experiences that tend to linger in your mind.  This photo is a piece of work by Italian artists, Federico Bebber and Francesco Sambo who have joined forces to build a mysterious circus: "a gallery of smoky black and white images of freaks, fates and circus tents, meant to be viewed while listening to a lilting audio track created by Sambo."

This is how we'll be spending our Sundays in May...

Weekly Inspiration - Tampere, Finland

Paper Chairs strives to create new and exciting experiences for our audiences.  Here is an amazing example from Tampere, Finland where the entire auditorium is spun on a round turntable to face new scenes!  Image is credited to Stiknord.

In honor of Woodwork, this just seems so appropriate...  ~Spring

 

Woodwork Tech

We are currently in the tech rehearsal process for Woodwork at Delta Millworks! It is very exciting and challenging to be producing outside of a theater space. Yes, paper chairs did the same for Hillcountry Underbelly, but now we aren’t even in the vicinity of a theater with typical amenities: lights, speakers, cables, tools, and chairs.

Thanks to our excellent designers, electricians, and volunteers, we have transformed a section of Delta Millworks into a charming, wood-toned space for live performance. Now stocked with lights, sounds, bells, and whistles, get ready for a great night of paper chairs magic starting this Friday at 8 p.m.!!

I Am An Artist

PostScript.... Turns out I often will work for free, but you know, just trying to stand on my soap box :)

This Just In!

We've moved into the space.

Wow, what a beautiful job everyone has done.

The set is high and vast.

Kudos Lisa!

Environmental theatre is wonderful.

The sky

The fresh air.

It's gonna be hard to beat the heat

but the breeze is beautiful by 8:30.
