Featured Post: Humana Festival

from The Feminist Spectator, reviews of 5 shows.

It was apparently Jill's first time at Humana, but she immediately caught-on to part of what makes the Festival so special.

People wandered the spacious ATL facility with badges, and the air crackled with that very particular vibe of people who toil in the same field but don’t often get to spend face-time.
She has a lot of nice things to say about Batch ...
Unlike some multi-media performances in which video seems a pretentious embellishment that distracts from the live performance, in Batch, video images made the truth tangible and mysterious, as spectators watched previously taped or projected simultaneous images interacting with live bodies.

... and parts of the anthology ...

In Rolin Jones’s Ron Bobby had Too Big a Heart, the conventions of senior proms are upended when it’s clear that the girl wearing a blood-drenched dress has conspired to kill someone with her girlfriend.
She's also very astute about the failings of a couple of the other plays. It's a good, long post and very worth reading.

Get the whole thing here.
