Gatsby Redux, The Covid Sessions

During the pandemic lock down MeMT continued to develop Gatsby Redux. These two videos, shot in the midst of the pandemic at the Muckenthaler Cultural Center, were later integrated into the full length, site specific production.

Tag! A Quarantine Dance

While the world sheltered-at-home, we at Mixed eMotion Theatrix decided to have a little fun of our own. We invited not only our performers, but everyone who works with MeMT to participate. Our Executive Director, Artistic Director, Social Media and Marketing Director, along with composers, videographers, and photographers joined our performers to create 15 seconds of movement that linked to those who performed them. They then “tagged” the next performer and so on. Along with being a lot of fun to create, the resulting video created connectedness in spite of social distancing. It helped us realize that art will endure in spite of the many challenges it may face.
