ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
This is the workshop Hannah led for Rude Mechs when she introduced her stand-up to us. We loved it and immediately incorporated the work into the play we were creating at the time, Field Guide. It’s a low-pressure, high-fun way to write about yourself and what you are taking in as you move through the world. We have the whole joint to ourselves. We’ll write, we’ll share, there’ll be a mic and a stool. If you did it last year, we’d love to see you again. And when we’re done, we’ll toast ourselves!Bring something to write with and on. If you want to do your set reading from your computer, bring that. If you like paper, then bring that. Index cards? Bring those. Whatever makes you comfortable.
Rude Mechs is supported in part by the Cultural Arts Division of the City of Austin Economic Development Department, and by a grant from the Texas Commission on the Arts.

Not Every Mountain @The Guthrie Theatre
Minneapolis
when: July 15 @ 7:00pm
where: Dowling Studio, 818 South 2nd Street, Minneapolis, MN
For the first time in its history, the Guthrie will host Austin, TX-based theater collective Rude Mechs (aka Rude Mechanicals) in a development residency to present their latest original work Not Every Mountain, a beguiling meditation on change and permanence. Set against the backdrop of a soft-spoken rumination on life, relationships and ephemerality, performers use simple elements like string, cardboard and magnets to make giant mountains slowly rise, shift and grow. With some help from the audience, the mountains come alive, the seasons change and the moon makes its way across the sky.

Not Every Mountain @Pivot Arts Festival
Chicago
when: June 9 @ 7:30pm
where: The Mundelein Center at Loyola University, 1020 W. Sheridan Road
Not Every Mountain is a mellow meditation on change, permanence, and our place in the natural world. In this piece, Rude Mechs gathers to build a mountain using pulleys, cranks, magnets and string. With original landscapes designed by Thomas Graves, original soundscapes and music by Peter Stopschinski, and a meditative litany by Kirk Lynn, Not Every Mountain is a presentation of the life cycle of mountains and the processes by which they are born and eventually laid to rest, an invocation of tectonic force and geologic time.
