In development at UC Irvine and the Hollywood Fringe

HYPERBOLE: origins has been undergoing much development over the past few months. It began life as The Rogues' took up residency in a development and education workshop with students from University of California Irvine's Claire Trevor School of the Arts. A grand experiment in the first steps of what will become the next Hyperbole installment, the residency was a puppet and mask 'boot camp' for participants. Taking place over two weeks at the UCI campus, Rogues and students gathered to collaborate and create, learn & teach puppet and mask techniques, and take the first steps toward building a new production. At the conclusion of two weeks, students had built masks, created props, puppets and set pieces, and had brought several performance pieces to life, all of which was shared with small preview audiences on Thursday June 3rd and Friday June 4th.

It was an extraordinary experience for both Rogues and students alike!

"I'm so fortunate to have worked with the Rogue Artists!" Katie Montoya, a UC Irvine student, said, "Their imagination and innovation on the stage is like nothing I've seen before. This process taught me that anything is possible with the collaboration of a dedicated ensemble. The Rogue Artists exposed me new and exciting ways of storytelling, and I will never forget their passion and enthusiasm."

Following the workshop performances at UC Irvine, The Rogues took the production to the first ever Hollywood Fringe Festival, performing two shows at the Art|Works Theatre on Theater Row in one marathon day. The Hollywood Fringe performance featured some further developed sets and mask design, and has given the Rogues a running start heading into the full production of HYPERBOLE: origins this fall.

Stay tuned as the Rogue Artist Ensemble prepares to formally announce the fall production of HYPERBOLE: origins, at the [Inside] the Ford Theater in October. It's not to be missed.
