In the second episode of In Production, EMPAC video engineer Ryan Jenkins talks with Bailey Scieszka and curators Isabella Achenbach, Eduardo Andres Alfonso, Angelica Arbelaez, Min Sun Jeon, and Guy Weltchek about producing their large-scale multimedia theatrical project Conspiracy Influencer at EMPAC. Bailey Scieszka's Conspiracy Influencer is a four-part theatrical extravaganza that premiered live at EMPAC on May 13, 2022 and will premiere online May 26th at 7PM. This newly-commissioned performance combines puppetry, clownery, and drag. It is set in a madcap world populated by characters like anthropomorphic Skittles, Nixon's dead dog, a talking Comet pizza slice, a mob of Beanie Babies, and a demonic clown named Old Put (Scieszka's alter ego). The cast of puppets satirize the wacky conspiracy theories that spawn in dark corners of the internet and contribute to the polarized socio-political landscape in the United States. Over the course of the performance follow Old Put's meteoric rise from humble content creator, who unboxes dolls on YouTube, to celebrity influencer at the center of a disinformation campaign. The performance is the climax of Scieszka's collaboration with curators from CCS Bard, EMPAC's production team, and Philadelphia-based composer Joseph Hallman. /// https://empac.rpi.edu
In "Robot Zot!," author Jon Scieszka writes a children's book about a robot who wants to conquer the earth but finds himself having landed in a suburban kitchen instead, thus changing his original mission. The book was illustrated by David Shannon. In "Guess Again!" and "Brixton Brothers 1: The Case of the Case of Mistaken Identity," author Mac Barnett and illustrator Adam Rex write a children's picture book, and the first book in a series for young readers about a kid who wants to be a crime detective. This discussion took place on a 2009 episode of "Conversations On The Coast with Jim Foster" originating in San Francisco, California.
Betsy already loved all three of today's potential Caldecott Award winners down to the cold cockles of her shriveled little heart. The track record on this show hasn’t been too shabby either. In 2020 Kate and Betsy identified Going Down Home With Daddy as a winner (just don’t ask how they did in 2019). In the course of this recording the sisters discover that the most amusing way to talk about the information at the end of a book is to say “backmatterbackmatterbackmatterbackmatter”. Kate meanwhile falls hard for one of the contenders. Let’s see if you can guess which book made her cry, “In the beginning I didn’t want to see it and now I don’t WANNA LET IT GO!!!” Show Notes: - The ALA Youth Media Awards will stream live on Monday, Jan. 25, 2021, at 8 a.m. CT right here: https://ala.unikron.com/ - Remember!
