OSA Theatre Faculty and Students Collaborate with Professionals on Ragged Wing Ensemble Production “Time Sensitive”
A crack is growing. The shape of time is changing.
Only a few can see it.
Now there are only seconds and nanoseconds and a constant insatiable GO.
Speed is power, status is vertical, and time is literally up.
The City swallowed the world. It ate the day and the night, the tides and the seasons.
Now, a woman speeds up her pregnancy to meet a deadline,
the One at the top finally comes down,
and an old man invents a Clockwork Kid that can change everything.
See the show critics are calling “intense, poetic, and highly physical,” and “a good-humored takedown of contemporary capitalism’s devotion to acceleration!”
Go to this ticket link and enter the code: RWEFRIEND ($5 off)
Originally created in workshop with Ragged Wing Ensemble 5 years ago, our 2019 production features an updated script, a deep collaboration with Climate Artist Carter Brooks, and an immersive scenic design by Jean-Francois Revon. With its enveloping set, clockwork choreography and rhythmic, fugue-like dialogue, Time Sensitive is more than a play. It is a theatrical event that explores the environmental, social and technological dangers of our ever-accelerating world.
OSA Chair of Production Design Jean-Francois Revon has designed and built an environmental set, with OSA student assistants in Scenic: Rocky Romero, Sara Wizig, Angelina (Nina) Ramirez. Sound Assistance from Atlix Martinez, Lighting Assistance from OSA Students Adaleyd Deleon, Emily Leonard and Auzar (Zita) Saffarian, and Assistant Stage Management Fellow OSA student Kipland Fletcher. All OSA student assistant fellows are mentored by professional Ragged Wing Ensemble designers and technicians/ crew.
Jean-Francois Revon’s fantastic environmental design.
