Fusebox Festival Artist Conversations in Austin, Texas

The Fusebox Festival in Austin, Texas presents "Chewing the Fat: Delicious Conversations" livestreamed on the global, commons-based peer-produced HowlRound TV network at howlround.tv on Friday 27 April and Saturday, 28 April 2012.

The conversation with Steve Moore of Physical Plant was streamed on Friday, April 27 at 10 a.m. PDT / 12 p.m. CDT / 1 p.m. EDT / 17:00 GMT / 18:00 BST / 19:00 CEST.

Physical Plant makes shows that have insides and outsides, which seems to mean something different with each show. If that makes the shows experiments, then you could say that sometimes they yield promising results and sometimes they burn down the biology building. The urge is always to unshut the door of a dark room. The company was founded in Austin in 1994.

The conversation with Phil Soltanoff & Rob Ramirez makers of A Evening with William Shatner Asterisk was streamed on Saturday, April 28 at 10 a.m. PDT / 12 p.m. CDT / 1 p.m. EDT / 17:00 GMT / 18:00 BST / 19:00 CEST.

Most theatrical works still hold to a model where the actor is the center of the theatrical universe. An Evening with William Shatner Asterisk considers a post-human theatre, exploring the possibilities that occur when the principle player is technological and acts in symbiosis with human performers. Furthermore, celebrity images function as the raw material: the main character is created by overtly chopping images together to construct authentic discourse via contrived, second-hand means.
