About Collapsible Poetics Theater
Product Description "[This] collection of . . . multi-disciplinary adventures induces territories of dissent and identity, both of and beyond the stage. . . . [Rodrigo] Toscano has produced an often gleeful romp wherein the geometry of the self affirms/celebrates its style while steadfastly subverting institutionalized forms."—Sustainable Aircraft Review "The peculiar parameters of this work and the spontaneity it engenders demand an idiosyncratic directorial style, and of course Toscano's a fine ringleader. It's one thing to read 'Clock, Deck, and Movement' for his delightfully minute intimations of voices (instruction for reading a line: '[in a medium pitch, as if in the middle of a spirited discussion among political policy wonks on TV'; or guidelines for movement: 'tongue and arch of foot agitated over lower groin's sudden contraction') and an entirely different sort of pleasure to actually witness the proceedings, which call for a multi-tasking/intuitive sort of participation from both the actors and audience (though somewhat less for the latter)." --J. Gordon Faylor, www.sustainableaircraft.com About the Author RODRIGO TOSCANO is the author of To Leveling Swerve (2005), Platform (2004), The Disparities (2002) and Partisans (1999).
