Yale Cabaret: Season 46
POP! was a free festival of pop-up theatrical experiences created by emerging theater artists. It took place over the course of one weekend in Bushwick in September of 2016. POP! presented a wide range of theatrical forms. POP! was akin to a theatrical pub-crawl. Audience members traveled from space to space experiencing original happenings at each location. Those in the know had a map and a schedule, but many people happened to be in the right place at the right time. At the end of each night, everyone was invited to Gold Sounds Bar for the best concert of their lives: Doll Parts--a Dolly Parton Cover Band.
I was awarded a Mark Bly Creative Capacities Fellowship from LMDA to make POP! happen. I conceived the project, curated the artists, and produced the festival.
