The Quarry Project Update
September 2018

August was a full month for The Quarry Project: construction of new stages, expansion of the infrastructure, rehearsals of the scenes created in the studio, and capturing them on film. Our days were deeply satisfying, shimmering with magic and at the same time overwhelming, scary and grinding. Ultimately, we got exactly what we sought in terms of a further understanding of the setting and the creative ideas that arose from it. We have a clear path forward.

Julia Barstow’s photographs of the HOUSE and CHAIR scenes beautifully capture the multi-faceted nature of this evolving project. A film clip will be ready next month.
