Responder: Virginia Broyles, Choreographer/Director
Name of Company: 3 eyes
Name of Show: We’re Losing Everything
1. Why should anybody see your show?
If you like stargazing, reminiscing, and you kind of feel like the world is ending right now – this would be the show for you.
2. Why Atlanta?
Place of my birth and a long history of brilliant creativity across all mediums. Plus, the cicadas.
3. What inspired you to create this?
The many climates – earth, politics, my internal and familial climate. Everything is changing at an increasing pace. I wanted to look at that and invite you in to witness.
4. What’s your process for creating and rehearsing something like this?
I have various images and objects and we try to create them together and then see what happens when we live inside. Over time the relevant things remain and the rest washes out.
5. What have you learned from working on your show so far?
It’s terrifying! And wonderful to be terrified.
6. Tyler Perry, Jane Fonda, Killer Mike and Donald Glover roll up at your show. There is one ticket left. Who gets it?
Not worthy. I would say Donald Glover because he is of a similar generation and I would love to hear his unfiltered creative genius response.
7. Atlanta’s foodie scene is really on point these days. What does your show taste like? (Bonus points if you can name-check an ATL restaurant.)
It starts off like a Java Jive biscuit with butter and honey. It ends tasting like rain-drenched skin, salty and electric.
8. Fringes are the place to really push the boundaries so we gotta ask: would you want your parents in the front row or would you tell them, “Maybe skip this one, guys…”?
Yes!
9. Will your show save mankind?
If it makes you feel something, then it’s possible. Feelings will save us.
10. Oh boy! After your first show a genie pops out of a bottle and offers you a choice – world peace or your show enjoying a ten-year run on Broadway. What shall it be?
World Peace all day.
11. Describe your show in three words.
Under the parachute.
