Dead Man's Cell Phone - Profile Theatre

We had a lot of fun with this one; a simple stage direction in the play called for a “cell phone ballet” in which members of the chorus come out and pantomime cell phone conversations in a ballet of the social and technological components of society leading to our disconnectedness. The production reflected on the fact that we only connect through our phones and the physical connectivity that we lack between people. A piece of well-known music that we can all connect to that had cascading disconnected disembodied voices that enveloped the audience through a twelve channel surround system.
