REMAP’s Jeff Burke led a workshop on the use of media in performance during a residency at Southwestern University (SU), assisting the Theater Department in developing a media-rich production concept for an original operetta based on the relationship between W. Kandinsky, A. Schoenberg, and G. Munter.
The piece was co-written by SU professors Sergio Costola, Jason Hoogerhyde, and Kimberly Smith. The show’s projection design, by student Duncan Alexander, went on to win the 2008-2009 Austin Critic’s Table Award for Video Design.
The production was directed by Dr. Alexander Iliev (visiting from the National Academy for Theatre and Film Arts, Bulgaria). Iliev, Costola and Burke previously collaborated at the Rhodope International Theatre Laboratory on the creation of The Virgin and the Unicorn and other projects.
