No Dice, On the Boards, and Some Cultural Histories of Sound Reproduction
Per the website for Seattle’s wonderful On the Boards, I am happy to be working on a podcast that will accompany the Seattle debut of No Dice (by the Nature Theater of Oklahoma) in March.
The podcast is entitled, “Invisible Technologies? Tapping into Some Cultural Histories of Sound Reproduction.” When it goes live, I’ll announce said liveness here. In the meantime, here’s a blurb for No Dice. Do check it out in March if you have the opportunity. It’s brilliant in so many ways.
“No Dice…is that rare, wondrous type of theatrical sustenance: You leave blissful and sated, yet wanting more.” -NY Times
One of the theater companies OtB audiences request the most – and they have never been to Seattle – Nature Theater of Oklahoma shapes over 100 hours of transcribed phone conversations into a 4-hour dinner theater spectacle called No Dice. Taking place in a vacant off-site location, No Dice provides audiences sack lunches prepared by the artists before delving into a clever but zany world of strange accents, trippy music, ridiculous costumes and funny choreography. Co-artistic directors Pavol Liska and Kelly Copper have created a cult following for their unique live performances throughout the US and Europe, while appearing at such venues the Wexner Center (OH), BIT Teatergarasjen (Norway), Rotterdamse Shouwburg (Holland) and Philadelphia Live Arts.
