Will one prevail as the integral inventor of Calculus, or will they both prove to be derivative?

THE FRACTURE - PORTLAND!

Math is breaking. Space and time are fracturing. Someone or something is erasing numbers, rewriting equations, and opening a dreaded “ArithmeRift” in Portland’s Experiment PDX. Agents of the Situationally Uncertain Mathematics Mitigation (SUMM) Division are trying to contain the Fracture and save math. But they need help from expendables ... eh, volunteers. Like you! FRACTURE is an interactive math horror experience – part haunted house, part escape room, all live theater, and entirely SCARY. Suitable for anyone with a 3rd-grade grasp of math or more. Explorations into the FRACTURE will commence from Thursday October 2 through Sunday 12 of October 2025. Before 7pm expeditions will be slightly less frightening than in the later “after dark" versions. Groups of ten will enter every fifteen minutes. Would you like to join the team? thefracture.space

CARAVAN CHRONICLES

This is a PRICELESS (aka Free!) family reunion, disguised as an outdoor interactive public art event. (Wait - or is it perhaps an interactive public art even disguised as a family reunion! You decide...)
Set in and around a classic 1965 Airstream Safari trailer, audience members become part of the ‘family’ at a semi-traditional (and highly idiosyncratic) family reunion, buoyed by family stories and fueled by extempore haiku and stale marshmallows.
“A piece of wildly original interactive installation theatre...with stories, hospitality and haikus. Warm-hearted, inclusive fun gently underscored by a universal message: families are all about shared memories, rituals and acceptance. Let us not take them for granted.” Adelaide Advertiser, AU
Join us Sat Sept 27, 2025 2:00p Morrill Meadows Park, 10600 SE 248th St, Kent, WA 98030 and Sun Sept 28th 2:00p Lake Burien School Park 1620 SW 149th St, Burien, WA 98166
We all have families of blood, we have created families of choice, and we certainly have families of circumstance. And everywhere we have gone in the world, we find connections and shared values with ‘family’ we simply haven’t met yet.

Centrifuge

Infinty Box Theatre Project's long running quick play series. Five playwrights and five science writers meet for the first time and talk about hot science news. Two evenings later we have five brand new 10-minute science plays. Five directors draw their plays and casts at random. Three evenings after that You can see five short science talks each followed by a world premier science play. I collaborated with the incredible science journalist Madeline Ostrander and wrote two plays. One was based on glacierology, called Ice School Reunion. The other based on the Great Whale Conveyor Belt, a process by which baleen whales transport vital nutrients across the ocean, called Mother Gray and her Children. This one was chosen to be performed at Centrifuge. The whole evening was wonderful!
