The term parley derives from the French verb parler: to speak. Historically, a parley was a meeting between adversaries in order to negotiate an end to battle. To signal a willingness to talk peaceably, armies would run up a white flag.
In a parley, people of vastly different opinions and experiences make themselves vulnerable by holding conflicting truths together. Creating is a solitary act, and isolation can make art rigid. By committing to an ongoing process of writing, feedback, and production, we surrender the lone struggle and move forward in collaboration. |

From drew david combs: a new play about trying to fix what's broken down in the distant future.
"a note on the emotional capacity of robots: "Have you ever, in the course of requesting something, said a swear word at Siri? When you reset the app to ask your question again, it's as if you hadn't sworn at all. Shenandoah is similarly programmed––the audience is likely to feel sympathy or pity for Red and Green, but the robots are not actually absorbing the abuse. There should be no differentiation in how cheerful Shenandoah is for each user, although their comportment and predictive suggestions will vary based on what they learn from their user. Care should be taken to protect the actor playing the robots, but the robots themselves do not have feelings. " |

In a world where sick folks are treated like living monsters ...
Well ... In a different world, where sick folks are treated like a really specific kind of monster, a pair of cousins take a job pretending to be walking sick folks in their hometown, Pensacola, Florida, in the wake of a real big hurricane. All they have to do is make it from the bay to the sacred heart hospital. Our first full length animation is officially in post production.
