Drawing from American pop songs and jazz standards, the poetry of Gertrude Stein, and Ann Carson's "The Gender of Sound", the ensemble slides past the edge of reason in this unfettered encounter with the stranger inside.Created as part of the National Performance Network Creation Fund Initiative, THE BRINK! was developed in partnership with Links Hall, the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events, Darthmouth College/VoxFest and the Cricoteka Centre in Krakow, Poland.Videography by Paul ScudderArtistsDirector: Thom PasculliStage Manager: Dina KlahnAssistant Stage Manager: Auriel JonesAssistant Director: Claire BaumanVocal Specialist: Fides KruckerCostume Design: Myron Elliott-CisnerosLighting Design: Ken UrbinaSound Design: Cooper ForsmanWeapons Specialist: Michael SaubertCastNigel BrownMcCambridge Dowd-WhippleCooper ForsmanDana MurphyKatie MazziniThom PasculliAlex RodriguezCast: Walkabout Theater Company
