Co-Producing Artistic Director Kirk Lynn will lead a workshop on collaborative creation from 11am to 1pm on February 25th. At around 1pm there will be sharing our work over wine and cheese.
Kirk will walk folks through some exercises and experiments designed to test whether collaborative creation is still possible. We’ll find out if it’s better for you to know the people you work with or against, or whether it’s easier for you to love strangers. We’ll create a Utopian village in less than five minutes and write its thousand year history as quickly as we can before the barbarians break down the gates and destroy us all. One last negotiation will be attempted, but if it fails, will you stand with us in a fight to the finish?
Participants will work together in groups to create performance pieces.
We’re excited you are coming to create with us. Please oh please if you decide to not show up, let us know – shoot us an email – so we can make your seat available to someone else.
Please arrive in time to warm up. Please come dressed to move, bring writing materials and your favorite songs.

We’re putting on a Salon… in a salon. It’s FREE!
Join us for drinks, light fare, and illuminating conversation! We have so many brilliant academics in our community and we always want to make them use their heads for art. This year, the Rude Salon theme is inspired by our discussions with NESCent scientists at Duke University while we were creating our play Now Now Oh Now. Join Co-Producing Artistic Directors Kirk Lynn and Madge Darlington, choreographer Alexa Capareda, geneticist Jennifer Moon, cell biologists Arturo De Lozanne and Terry O’Halloran, and science and fiction writer Kyle Davis, for a frank discussion about the experimental and creative process, failure and epiphany, and whatever else we come up with! Hosted by Khristian Méndez Aguirre & Alexandra Bassiakou Shaw.
We’re so grateful to Angela Robertson, Director of the AVEDA Institute Austin, and everyone at the institute for letting us host this event at their beautiful facility. If you’re lucky you might get sweet freebies from Aveda so reserve your spot today! Maybe we can get our hair cut right onsite during the Salon! It’s a salon in a salon, after all.
This is not your parents’ A Christmas Carol
WHEN: December 8, 9, 10, 22, 23 at 8:00 p.m.
WHERE: Ground Floor Theatre, 979 Springdale Rd #122, Austin, TX 78702
TICKETS: $25.00
A Karaoke Christmas Carol is available for private bookings on December 15, 16 and 17. Do it at your office, or your house, or your friend’s house! To book, email boxoffice@rudemechs.com.
Rude Mechs invites you to create a new tradition of drunken revels by coming to play with us and a roomful of your soon-to-be best friends to create a fully produced A Christmas Carol. It’s Dickens’ holiday classic like it’s never been done before. The audience will perform all the parts, and sing all the songs.
Anyone among you could turn out to be the Ghost of Christmas Past.
Find out the true cause of Tiny Tim’s congenital wee-ness.
Drink a toast to a Scrooge in your own life.
And the production is also fully game-i-fied. Those not performing in A Karaoke Christmas Carol, will use their phones to capture photos of the Seven Christmas Miracles, including: A ghost kissing herself, indoor snow or Santa’s Surprise Appearance. The audience member with the best set of photos every night will win a rock solid fruitcake they will be able to pass down for generations.
