«This Text Has Legs»
A new production by C!RCA embraces cell phones. Blending physical theatre, acrobatics and circus tricks, «This Text Has Legs» is the local circus troupe's most interactive show to date. [via networked_performance]
"Described as a circus show for the communications age, «This Text Has Legs» has audience members send SMS messages to a large, on stage projection screen. Relying on their improvisation skills, the C!RCA troupe then turn the messages into physical poetry.
Guest experimental musicians Lawrence English and Zane Trow weave live sound into the performance and add to the information exchange between audience and performers."
