a Rude Fusion co-production

Presented February 5th and 6th, 2010 at The Off Center

ABOUT THE PLAY

Meg Sullivan and Rude Mechs are proud to present Meg.Anne.Maud, a work-in-progress production that will transform The Off Center into a mapped imaginary landscape where the audience will be invited to think about how archives affect our bodies, how our favorite book characters live within us, how memories move through space. Sullivan combines choreography, video, and maps to re-member the life stories of Lucy Maud Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables, and herself, and to re-imagine places, spaces, and the geographies of memory. Come add a name to the bosom friend map! Taste some raspberry cordial! Watch the radar for coming storms!

Meg.Anne.Maud began as a project in June 2009 when Meg was in residency at the Contemporary Arts Center in Troy, NY. Her previous solo works include Chat/piles: a body of memory, about the history of lead mining in Tar Creek, Oklahoma, performed at the 2008 Micro-Fringe Festival at the ATHE conference in Denver, and A Curious Seaside Feeling, based on Virginia Woolf’s letters, performed as part of the 2008 Frontera Festival. For more information about this production, please email: meg@rudemechs.com, or see: http://sites.google.com/site/megsullivanperformance/upcoming-events.
