Process Online

Starting today at 10.00am and continuing every Wednesday through the opening on 5 February 2009, rehearsals for Richard Foreman and John Zorn's Astronome: A Night at the Opera, the spring production at the Ontological-Hysteric Theatre, can be seen live on-line through the good offices of free103point9 Transmission Arts. It's a unique offering from two unique theatre and music artists (three, if you include the fine work that free103point9 is doing); watch Foreman, his cast and his crew create a new work before your very eyes. You want the theatrical process available through the Internet, you've got it.

"Something is missing from this world so I make these plays ..."

Sophie and Richard make a movie

Above, a ten-minute video featuring Sophie Haviland and Richard Foreman, shooting video in Zürich in October 2007. (Sophie's the one with the long dark hair.) Since 2004, they've been collaborating on The Bridge Project, which aims to bring together artists and performers from around the world to participate in workshops, symposiums, theatre productions, visual art, performance and multimedia events. During breaks in the shooting, Foreman talks about creativity and (bluntly) about artistic collaboration (as well as Anton Ehrenzweig's The Psycho-Analysis of Artistic Vision and Hearing, which he describes as "probably the most important book I ever read in my life").
