For one of San Antonio’s November arts fest, writers Laurie Dietrich, Andrea “Vocab” Sanderson, Ben Tremillo, and myself were brought together by Gemini Ink (San Antonio’s preeminent literary arts non-profit organization) to create a 30 minute presentation. The piece was titled “Page to Stage.” However, as we began the collaborative process, we came up with the title “Where the Pain Is.” Perhaps this can all be smoothed out by calling the work “Page to Stage: Where the Pain Is.”

The piece was performed on the night of Nov. 11, 2016, at the Little Carver, the black box theatre of the Carver Community Cultural Center. I provided the visual imagery, live projections, and real-time commentary, while the others read, and performed.

We were not able to document the piece (though we might recreate it at a later date for some sort of archival document), but it seemed to be received quite well. Below is a little promotional teaser I made of some of the imagery projected during the performance.
