Saturday, April 18, 2009 · Notacon 6 · Wyndham Cleveland at Playhouse Square |
|
In Fall 2008, The Confused Greenies decided to embark upon the creation of a silly sci-fi farce parodying such cult classics as Doctor Who, Star Trek, Star Wars, Firefly and whatever else could not run away fast enough (and even some that could!) for performances at CWRU. The rest, as they say, is history. Or future history. Or alternative history? Time travel is so confusing! A performance about science-fiction and fantastic technology and the building of a full-scale Dalek encouraged a preview performance at Notacon 6, Cleveland's creativity, community, and technology conference. Because of this, the performance was made to include an interactive slideshow presentation (inspired by Dottore Gratiano's Secret to Cartoon Physics) on the "Secret to Sci-Fi Physics" and video parody of Cloverfield (inspired by an actual blooper during the filming of campaign commercials for Doging the Debates) to create a combined live stage performance and audio-visual production! |
