Employing her trademark formal inventiveness, Churchill considers these ideas from dozens of perspectives, creating the theatrical equivalent of the barrage of status updates, shares, and notifications that have come to characterize daily life in an “information economy.” Perhaps Churchill also implicitly asks us to consider what it means to make live theater in a culture that is defined by digital consumption. In this production, presented in a “reverse round” of museum display boxes,&nbsp; we recognized the traditional communitarian rhetoric that often surrounds theatrical practice and at the same time called it into question. In a formally disjointed play like this, what do we share with one another? Or is our experience, even of something that we all do together, radically particular to each one of us? <img width="750" height="500" width_o="750" height_o="500" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/1015476b8c9695e9a0fcfb8c28474a1255799c7c2423cc866c42d5e6cd9a5f12/LI6.jpg" data-mid="1394552" border="0" /> <img width="750" height="500" width_o="750" height_o="500" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/3db41c5f63fa6002ed3e3f8f94ea10021981f3f4bd223d8cb96764b57beceadf/LI1.jpg" data-mid="1394559" border="0" /><img width="750" height="500" width_o="750" height_o="500" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/a277c241239ef907ee5994f3d6dd2b722ca15e4c9ebca8316a9f34ff2102f672/LI10.jpg" data-mid="1394558" border="0" /><img width="750" height="500" width_o="750" height_o="500" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/a5036c446aa293e28eb162b276453fb744cfd35d1bd3af0c96dd99c6d116853d/LI4.jpg" data-mid="1394556" border="0" /> <img width="750" height="356" width_o="750" height_o="356" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/3767a8e454deee3b779b7166102769720722bd45feee8d044e3096e722aa269d/LI12.jpg" data-mid="1394551" border="0" /> Robert Quillen CampPortfolio Love and Informationby Caryl ChurchillLewis &amp; Clark College, 2016 Directed by&nbsp;Robert Quillen CampScenic and Lighting... http://robertquillencamp.com/Portfolio-Tempest Sun, 02 Feb 2025 02:24:05 +0000 Robert Quillen Camp 455746 Robert Quillen CampPortfolio <img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/50d03da4a0440887926ffd24b9c5a96ac7dfecf32c5c291f61fec71578e71f90/tempestweb1.png" data-mid="1394544" border="0" /> <img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/d4d96737f3e6357300dc0bfd5a188e2518e26cdcd8992a122fc16ed2beb314f7/tempestweb3.png" data-mid="1394549" border="0" /> The Tempestby William ShakespeareSweet Briar College, 2023 Direction and Video Design by Robert Quillen CampOriginal Score by Joshua Harris Scenic and Lighting Design by Cheryl WarnockCostume Design by August Applewhite <img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/775cc37bbf15843ad80dd8aa1d6d94ae2dc78e81da657f555137eeb523151aea/tempestweb9.png" data-mid="1394547" border="0" /> <img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/cbbd7ddf3ccc295361994c80c585d3c9adc0acce790c3efb8add3d0fe1bfe439/tempestweb10.png" data-mid="1394545" border="0" /> <img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/d7daae70554b0a2b88630f68b95c7eea219b8591ba330cfcd1d8083175d593d5/tempestweb6.png" data-mid="1394546" border="0" /> <img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/67a4d34ecc608935dac8e35adc0e39c9a06776601483183ad9f973cc734a4861/tempestweb5.png" data-mid="1394540" border="0" /> <img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/34a8c705d606b3d2c8c34936c0794fac2c1a9d0a16240a5685921d0425056c88/tempestweb7.png" data-mid="1394543" border="0" /> <img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/ce8b3cf81752a94b056764ae92341fd42b6636794ab846ccb478bba46130619b/tempestweb11.png" data-mid="1394542" border="0" /> <img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/2efc8c0c48f64af0bd9e071f9f2fbaefc4c543c8f090f6b11921bc959d1417b1/tempestweb4.png" data-mid="1394550" border="0" /> Robert Quillen CampPortfolio The Tempestby William ShakespeareSweet Briar College, 2023 Direction and Video Design by Robert Quillen CampOriginal Score by... http://robertquillencamp.com/Portfolio-Procedures Sat, 01 Feb 2025 21:30:08 +0000 Robert Quillen Camp 455741 Robert Quillen CampPortfolio <img width="750" height="500" width_o="750" height_o="500" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/5cf0fb3216b1f0b7e87cdc5e3e39d5e59bbbd739168c4c18f867e59591daf4ae/procedures5.jpg" data-mid="1394528" border="0" /> Procedures for Saying NoPETE, 2016 Writer Procedures for Saying No is an ensemble-driven theater piece, inspired by Melville’s “Bartleby the Scrivener” and Moby Dick, that interrogates the protocols of the contemporary white-collar office to unpack the deep fears that underpin our most trivial activities. As a group of workers face ecological collapse and are forced to claim their office as a living space, they race to invent more and more procedures, finally leading to a recognition of themselves as both more and less than human. Funny and brutally sad, Procedures places its audience inside a fully built-out office, and provides a set of tasks and procedures for them to complete, replicating the boredom of empty work while punctuating it with fleeting moments of meaning. <img width="369" height="553" width_o="369" height_o="553" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/834c6b912e042f59973f6c61f0eec7f56940313a756d5ca286e211c734452d81/procedures2.jpg" data-mid="1394531" border="0" />Written by Robert Quillen CampDirected by Rebecca LingafelterScenic Design by Peter KsanderLighting Design by Miranda HardyCostume Design by Jenny AmpersandSound Design by Mark ValadezCreated with the company: Jacob Coleman, Cristi Miles, Amber Whitehall, Linda Austin, Murri Lazaroff-Babin <img width="369" height="553" width_o="369" height_o="553" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/894457eb5118b87deca33d19fc5882defc4610c43eee01281d8e81be2aaabc0a/procedures3.jpg" data-mid="1394529" border="0" /> PRESS“Procedures for Saying No is an absurdist salve for the hamster-wheel-cubicle-lives we live.

PRESS“The other half of the show's appeal comes in the way playwright Robert Quillen Camp and director Alec Duffy tease their audience. Again and again, they find new ways to promise an explanation of their "society," only to defer clarity with a fresh mystification or joke.

The talk is sprinkled with off-hand references to Dewey and Foucault and the like, but the overall effect keeps drifting from the intellectual and toward the comic and phantasmagoric.” &nbsp;-OR Arts Watch. Full Review How to Learn PETE, 2018 WRITER / DIRECTORHOW TO LEARN examines the relationship between education, privilege, and knowledge in a provocative performance piece inspired by Friedrich Nietzsche’s lectures on education. A richly detailed immersive sound environment subverts the traditional lecture form and provides the backdrop to a narrative that juxtaposes the banalities of contemporary academic life with a surreal and affecting exploration of its secret counterpart in the imagination.<img width="1500" height="1001" width_o="1500" height_o="1001" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/43622e45dde9d82c2dbcdcbb4c62e414e3e64d0ae4bafb438f6419bc0392b3f4/How-To-Learn-Photo-Brud-Giles-1865.jpg" data-mid="1394505" border="0" />Written and directed by Robert Quillen CampPerformed by Jacob ColemanDesigned by Miranda k Hardy &amp; Jenny Ampersandperformed at PETE in Portland, OR and at JACK, NYC, 2018 Robert Quillen CampPortfolio “As slippery as it is engaging, How to Learn is by turns a jeremiad, a self-justification, an explication, an evasion…In one... http://robertquillencamp.com/Portfolio-Telephone Sat, 01 Feb 2025 17:44:44 +0000 Robert Quillen Camp 455735 Robert Quillen CampPortfolio <img width="500" height="500" width_o="500" height_o="500" src_o="https://cortex.persona.co/t/original/i/ba515dd3e897153fb373a53884a79e8580aa00ea257230e7f41b707166fa3874/Telephone-Square.png" data-mid="1394501" border="0" /> Telephone by Ariana Reines University of Puget Sound, 2020 Direction and Sound by&nbsp;Robert Quillen CampChoreography by Jody KuehnerScenic Design by Kurt Walls Lighting Design by Ranleigh Starling Costume Design by Mishka Navarre Ariana Reines’s uncanny tryptych inspired by Avital Ronell’s The Telephone Book connects technological innovation to the spectral in three distinct acts - a vaudeville of Alexander Graham Bell and Watson making their discovery (in this production split into a further trio of multiple Bells and Watsons), a medical examination of Miss St., a patient of Carl Jung’s who believed she contained a spiritual telephone, and a catalog of contemporary phone calls that articulate oscillations between proximity and distance.
