Gamelan

Gamelan (Gah-muh-lawn) is a ensemble style of music mainly from the Bali and Java regions of Indonesia. Bucknell University is fortunate enough to not only have Professor Bethany Collier, an expert in Gamelan, but an entire Gamelan ensemble. Cast member and sound director Cj Fujimura studies Gamelan and will be incorporating its unique and beautiful sounds into our production. Director Kali Quinn went with CJ today to experience Gamelan for the first time. Check out CJ's demonstration in the video below:

Who, What, When Where, and Why

Mask, Movement, and Mayhem was a production rehearsed and produced by The Department of Theatre and Dance of Bucknell University. Directed by guest artist Kali Quinn of Brown University, the cast was an ensemble of 18 student actors assisted by a 5 student stage management and assistant directing team and the professional designers of the department. The piece itself was devised by the cast and crew from the ground up, meaning no script, character list, design, or plot existed before the rehearsal process! The result of this devised process was performed April 12-15, 2013 in the Harvey Powers Theatre at Bucknell University in Lewisburg, PA.
