One of the ones they did was that story from the Cyberiad. It was beautiful. Trurl and Klapaucius were puppets, and the cast had dancers representing the machine with... it's hard to describe. There were lots of practical lightbulbs in all different lamps, scattered about the stage like stars, and when the machine started to make nothing, the dancers began to quietly move around the space, turning out the lights.<br /><br />It was a really cool piece. They also did There Will Come Soft Rains, reciting the story while they created the images with just themselves, a few simple props and the lights.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10372317376002783405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6607193039280948594.post-6516883847462828072011-02-19T07:42:51.829-08:002011-02-19T07:42:51.829-08:00Thanks for your comments, everyone!
@Delphyne, I ...Thanks for your comments, everyone!<br /><br />@Delphyne, I haven't seen the movie titled I, Robot. I really like the book because it's almost an intellectual puzzle. In each story a different wrinkle to the Laws of Robotics is explored.<br /><br /><br />@I Eat Words, I've heard both good and bad things about Across the Universe, but I'm not really into any contemporary YA right now, so it's a wash, I suppose. My instinctive hesitation might be because it has the same title as that terribly boring Julie Taymor movie with the Beatles music.<br /><br /><br />@Alison, I came to Star Trek pretty late. I liked Next Gen growing up, but not as much as I loved Babylon 5. I'd seen occasional episodes of other series and liked them, but wasn't really that into it. I took a "class" in high school that was an optional Saturday thing taught by grad students at a nearby college that explored the philosophical and moral questions that were so entwined in the original series. I loved that, but still didn't call myself a huge fan. Later I got into <i>reading</i> military science fiction, and then I adored the 2009 movie, and then I went back to watch the original series and...now I'm a huge fan.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10372317376002783405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6607193039280948594.post-81156048353341944292011-02-18T19:31:26.179-08:002011-02-18T19:31:26.179-08:00Thanks for coming over for Follow Friday, and now ...Thanks for coming over for Follow Friday, and now I'm following you back!<br /><br />I love <i>The Cyberiad</i>! I remember the story when they made the machine that could make anything starting with the letter N, and then asked it to make nothing. When it informed them it was unmaking the universe, I got chills! Such a great book.<br /><br />Aaron (<a href="http://dreamingaboutotherworlds.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Dreaming About Other Worlds</a>).Aaron Poundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11747596648152141394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6607193039280948594.post-10795886336409672752011-02-18T17:49:58.885-08:002011-02-18T17:49:58.885-08:00Hopping through.

He showed me how much depth it had and I was quite impressed (even though I still didn't watch it).<br /><a href="http://alisoncanread.blogspot.com/2011/02/hopping-time.html" rel="nofollow">My Hop</a>Alison Can Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908868606441539344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6607193039280948594.post-85047147411580460752011-02-18T13:58:47.586-08:002011-02-18T13:58:47.586-08:00Hi Hopping on thru to wish you a Happy Weekend!
