Direction: Paul Zmolek Movement and Sound devised by the Director and Performers Performers: Matt Austin, Bridget Close, Gena Cook, Zac Jelke , Anna Kenoyer, Julie Leir-VanSickle, Hannah Matsen, Adam Mendez, Shayla Neibaur, Alexis Starks Zaum is a word used to describe the linguistic experiments in sound symbolism and language creation of Russian Futurist poets such as Velimir Khlebnikov and Aleksei Kruchenykh. (from wikipedia) Ten years ago I co-directed Zaum: Beyond Significance with music by Robert Fruehwald, composer for the upcoming premiere in May 2012 of Double Blind Sided. This year, the ten performers created movement phrases inspired by words associated with "seven". These phrases were then divided into sevenths and manipulated by the seven digit sequence of their phone numbers. The "words" spoken in the performance are created from the first two letters of each performer #39;s name.From:satiricalfarceViews:25 1ratingsTime:10:43More inEntertainment
