Take a good look around you the next time you ride the train. It probably won’t surprise you to see everyone grooving along to their ipods, blackberries, dvd playing gadget do-hickey thingy. In this city everyone seems to carry their media in their pocket. It is a very isolating experience. Private. Personal. However, it is such a universal it seems we have become a community; together in our isolation.
Youth on Target’s latest project seeks to explore this idea. How does media unite us and separate us? How does it at one time act as an impenetrable bubble and also a vehicle for self expression?
Based in Astoria Park, “Story Park” (working title) will unite devised theater and our favorite gadget- The Ipod- to create a totally new performance experience. Stay tuned for more details!
