@ The Possibility Project

Khunum productions is writing with the cast of …


"Take it from the Top…"
The possibility project's newest original musical, Take it from the Top will premiere soon! The production is based on the lives and experiences of the 16 (amazingly talented, passionate, inspiring and strong!!) youth in  the Foster Care program. Performances are being held at The Irondale Center in Brooklyn, November 19, 20, 21, & 22, 2014.

Show Description: In New York City it is easy to feel invisible. For Sebastian and his sister Lola this is especially true. As they each pursue different paths to leave their mark on the world, they are confronted with violence, loss, betrayal, and the ever deepening question of their own self-worth. Can they find a way to truly be seen or will they end up alone and forgotten?

My flag boy and your flag boy were

Sit-tin' by the fire. - My flag boy told
Your flag boy "I'm gonna set your flag on fire."

Talk-in' 'bout, Hey now ! Hey now ! I-KO, I-KO, un-day
Jack-a-mo fee-no ai na-n?. - Jock-a-mo fee na-n?

See that guy all dressed in green ?
I-KO, I-KO, un-day. He's not a man
He's a lov-in' machine
Jack-a mo fee na-n?

Talk-in' 'bout, Hey now ! Hey now !

Julie Taymor: Spider-Man, The Lion King and life on the creative edge

I start with the notion of the ideograph. An ideograph is like a brush painting, a Japanese brush painting.Three strokes, you get the whole bamboo forest. I go to the concept of "The Lion King" and I say, "What is the essence of it? What is the abstraction? If I were to reduce this entire story into one image, what would it be?"

"There are so many people that use 'following your dreams' as an excuse to not work…. When in reality, following your dreams, successfully, is nothing but work."

Women Playwrights International and University of Cape town, welcomes Food for the Gods

The next Women Playwrights International Conference  will be held in Cape Town South Africa, hosted by the University of Cape Town.  The theme this year is "Without Words"  and Food for the Gods was selected and invited as one of the plays to be presented.  

Inspired by the killings of Black men  at the hands of police and other institutions of authority, this work utilizes mixed-media and mask-puppetry to explore the process of dehumanization, positive and negative space, invisibility and well…the MAGICAL-less-ness of it all. A three-part expression of rage, indifference, and celestial knowings.  Food for the Gods is an experiential triptych of sort,  an audience immersive performance installation that takes place in three unique settings.  It juxtaposes harsh reality with piercing beauty.

"Yes, there are subjects that are beyond words. While studying this issue of dehumanization in America, without knowing it, I found myself “beyond words.”  There was only raw emotion.  Within Food for the Gods, I attempted to captured that emotion through images, movement, transformative space, and sound. The characters do speak, however, this is not a play of dialog. Rather, it is a sensory experience of visceral expression documented in words. WPIC international will be held June 29th to July 2nd 2015.
