Timothy Pest 🌀⛈️🌬️💨 the papier-mâché storm god! ……and other storm features….. thank the lord for Luke/Molly for running with my last minute idea of a wearable ship!

I was very tickled to have my friends’ encouragement/help on my vision for the tempest scene…. I have been thinking about waves on a rod since I saw mini dioramas of theatre set engineering when Evan, Dave, Emma, and I went to the Museum of Jurassic Techonology (highly recommend) in LA. It simply had to be done! (I didn’t take the video included on the post it’s from YouTube!!! There are no phones allowed in the museum (:)

Also, overall very pleased at the amount of trash cardboard I/we repurposed through the course of this project! Big thanks to Allie/Tyler buying an online couch and also Libby’s toilet inexplicably shattered…..

this came straight from my dreams!!!!!!!!

Papier mache shell headpieces for goddesses Juno, Iris, Ceres.

I wanted all of the summoned goddesses to clearly be a fabrication of Prospero’s enchantments and illusions. One of the main motifs of my set/prop design work is the sea shell. This was the element that represented the magical island and Prospero’s powers.

Painted with scrap exchange house paint samples that provided the palette for all of the props and set pieces I made (someone had done an ocean themed project or was thinking about it? And I got like 15 tubs of perfect oceanic titled paint cans).

Iris and Ceres also had corresponding flags made from textiles from scrap exchange and my mom’s gf’s mom who had been saving me quilt scraps from her quilting circle. I found the flag poles on the curb between Nat/Red’s house as we were moving Red’s old bed frame to reclaim the wood for the set flats.

Other more obvious renditions of The Tempest costume Iris and Ceres with rainbow/peacock or with golden grain imagery. I remained true to this, but simplified the visuals to gently allude to this symbology (blue spiral plays with peacock colors and swirls, swirl of a rainbow, messages swirling through the ether // warm sun rays powering harvest, golden ethereal power).

The goddess Juno was introduced alongside a giant papier mache shell bearing the message ‘Love is Magic.’ This came of my need to include some outsider art messaging into the visual universe of the play and make it relevant to our current collective experience.

In this wedding/masque scene, Prospero is using his magic to put on a show to celebrate the marriage of his daughter to the Prince Ferdinand. Over the course of this story, we learn how hollow and nefarious the conjuring of magic (/other means)can be for personal gain and the assertion of power and dominance.

One of my personal takeaways from this narrative is that the true magic of this world is experienced through love and gentleness.

Cambria, Caroline, and Haley did an enthralling portrayal of the goddesses, and I am forever grateful to them and the whole cast/crew of for making this special scene a reality.

"ex- conga/percussionist w legendary sun ra arkestra and ex-homeless advocate, developing for 50yrs percussion/drums to levels it would have been had it not been so rudely repressed by world histories of conquest. my recent albums feature percussively musical, techniques combined with other "melodic" instruments to lyrically, soulfully, spiritually compose from and for,"the bottom"too." - KM

We return to the Spaze on Thursday 10/22 with a truly eclectic bill for bigsoundlive #18. We’ll host the Virginia-based noise poetry project Collapsing (@collapsing.va), as he takes his avant nonsense on a southern jaunt to Florida and back. Returning to Columbia for the first time in nearly a decade is Crowmeat Bob (@atomwrecbob), the inimitable self-taught saxophonist and guitarist who has been carving out his own unique place in experimental music circles from his perch in Raleigh, NC, for as long as anyone can remember. Getting things started will be Charleston beatsmith @concept_rxch and Columbia’s own @dead_channel_noise. Come experience a taste of the variety within noise!
