Critical Correspondence
Annie-B Parson and Sibyl Kempson in conversation with Aaron Mattocks
On Wednesday, September 19, 2012 Critical Correspondence co-editor Aaron Mattocks met with Annie-B Parson (co-artistic director, Big Dance Theater) and playwright Sibyl Kempson in Chelsea to discuss their collaboration, Ich, Kürbisgeist, which was a co-commission of Performance Space 122 and The Chocolate Factory, and which had a three week run in October and November. The production recently closed, surviving Hurricane Sandy, a presidential election and a freak overnight blizzard. The two women spoke about aspects of their creative practice, revealed telling anecdotes about craft, religion, doom and disaster, and making work that is ultimately, sometimes unknowingly, personal.
