Rob Neill and Julia Melfi from the New York Neo-Futurists took a hit when their theatre company's normal way of "doing things" was halted by the pandemic. However, their organization is run by a strong mission—and that mission helped them adapt and create even when they couldn't make "live theatre" anymore. This interview was extremely fun, and I hope you get a lot out of it...

We rupture the infamous "fourth wall" of theatre, going behind the scenes with Rob Neill '91, founding member of the New York Neo Futurists, to discuss their unique brand of performance, which lies somewhere between improv, sketch comedy, and avant-garde theatre. We also talk with Ellen Mease about the more traditional theatrical world of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, which Mease directed this semester. She shares what Grinnell's theatre has meant to her, 40 years after she first directed her first production of the show.

It is great to welcome back a great friend of the podcast Steven Orr. The feedback we had from our first conversation was tremendous and I know you are going to enjoy this session on the short game. Steven has studied extensively with Rob Neill what great short game players actually do.   What are the common factors?   What happens at impact with great short game players?   What does the ball actually do?   How much does the club matter?   What effect does the make of golf ball have?   Just how much the equipment you use actually matters. The role of friction in the short game   What Stevens research shows is that there are some significant common factors with great short game players and also perhaps more importantly what poor short game players do. From this session you will get a much clearer understanding of what you need to do in developing your short game skills. Not only will you gain an insight into developing short game skills but also skills in ANY discipline.   What do you actually need to do with the golf club? The TWO critical factor in developing short game mastery How specifically do you need to use the clubhead, the shaft and the bounce of the club How to control the trajectory of the ball When you can control the trajectory you get to control the distance How vital centered strike is Striking the ball off centre dramatically affects distance control How consistent is the loft you present to the ball? Distance control opens the door to a GREAT short game   What does a good short game practice session look like? If you only have a limited time to practice what should you do? What difference will a better short game actually make to your game?   What actually causes the yips? Stevens research on this is really interesting.   This session could be a key part in your quest for a breakthrough. As you develop genuine short game skills you get the chance to dramatically lower your scores. It is probably the best return on investment of time you could possibly have.   To find out more about Steven go to www.stevenorrcoaching.com For details of hosting a Mind Factor workshop go to www.themindfactor.com  

Listen in as Wind-Up Variations creator/writer/director Rob Neill, along with performer Ayun Halliday, Eevin Hartsough, and Daniel Mirsky, discuss the Neo-Futurist aesthetic, following a monkey across a waste-land, dialogue-mining, finding your mechanical avatar, inviting the audience, and having a plan … Continue reading →

I Regret Nothing by Csaba SzékelyPart Two of TwoThe second half of I Regret Nothing picks up the story of retired Romanian secret service officer Dominic Cormoş as he comes face to face with the repercussions of his past and makes a decision that will shape his future and that of his 16-year-old neighbor Liza.In the first half of the play, Dominic was visited by two other characters: Alex Dima, one of Dominic's former subordinates and now a high-ranking agent in the intelligence service, planted a bug in Dominic's apartment and attempted to blackmail him into performing a high-stakes mission. And Liza, Dominic's sixteen-year-old neighbor, turned up asking to use his toilet when her abusive father's daily tirade kept her from her own apartment. An unexpected friendship between Liza and Dominic sprouted from a shared love of dogs.The character of Dominic was played by Paul Valley, Alex by Rob Neill, and Liza by Jocelyn Kuritsky, under Sarah Cameron Sunde’s direction.Play for Voices audio plays are recorded at Harvestworks by audio engineer Kevin Ramsay.Play for Voices is produced by Matt Fidler, Anne Posten, Katrin Redfern, and Jen Zoble.About the AuthorCsaba Székely was born in 1981 in Târgu Mureș, Romania.

It was also chosen as Drama of the Week by the BBC. A few years later, in 2013, it won the Society of Authors’ Richard Imison Award. Székely has since written a trilogy about country life in Transylvania: Bányavirág (“Mineflower”), Bányavakság (“Mineblindness”), and Bányavíz (“Minewater”), examining issues such as unemployment, alcoholism, nationalism, corruption, and high rates of suicide in the Hungarian population of Transylvania. The trilogy has been published in a volume by the Hungarian publishing house Magvető under the title Bányavidék (“Minelands”).

I Regret Nothing by Csaba SzékelyPart One of TwoIt’s the summer of 2006, and Dominic Cormoş, a retired agent of the Securitate--the notorious secret police of Communist Romania--is living alone in his Transylvania apartment. With media coverage of the prosecutions of ex-Communist law enforcement officials in the background, Dominic is paid two surprise visits that will prove deeply consequential: the first, by Alex Dima, who served under Dominic in the Securitate and is now working in the Romanian Intelligence Service; and the second, by his sixteen-year-old neighbor Liza.The character of Dominic was played by Paul Valley, Alex by Rob Neill, and Liza by Jocelyn Kuritsky, under Sarah Cameron Sunde’s direction.Play for Voices audio plays are recorded at Harvestworks by audio engineer Kevin Ramsay.Play for Voices is produced by Matt Fidler, Anne Posten, Katrin Redfern, and Jen Zoble.About the AuthorCsaba Székely was born in 1981 in Târgu Mureș, Romania.
