Junior Improv at Bombs Away Cafe

posted by Andy

Scott and other after school improv brats, aka: JenEric's Kids, doing some improvisational games at Bombs Away Cafe earlier this week. They'll be holding another performance at CHS on Friday, Oct 24. Many of these guys just happen to be in the upcoming "Somewhat True Tale of Robin Hood" that seems to have taken over our free time. That play is shaping up to be a hilarious show.

In this game the audience suggests a murder victim (Jabba the Hut), a location (Kitchen), and the murder weapon (cheese grater). Each actor then has 30 seconds to pantomime these facts to the next participant without words. The last person then blurts out the end result of this string of misinterpretations.

Visual Coding for Artists

While randomly following some links I ran across this little gem, a visualization created with Processing, an open source code base for artists. The following is procedural, not a traditional keyframed animation.

There are other cool projects out there, like knitted news and live pong performance art, among other things. Something I must look into once I have a bit more spare time. Or at least spend some serious time browsing all of Flight404's videos.
