I’m going through many of my old video tapes. This one was undated but my best guess is 1995. My improvisational group, The Gametones (Pronounced Gamma Tones), performs at the Exit Art Gallery.

ROBOHAMLET is a play about the extinction of the human race at the claws of their own creations, the Crylons, genetically modified crabs created to make a caviar substitute, whose incredible fecundity has overwhelmed their human creators. The last humans make a brave stand, and the only weapon that can stand between them an annihilation of humanity is the Robot, who carries the burden of human culture, recites Shakespeare, and feels ambivalent.
ROBOHAMLET is written by Pat Harper, who was House Manager of Theater for the New City from 1999 until 2006, and is not only a barbed commentary on humanity in general but also on off-off Broadway theater and its denizens.
Atomic Stone Age
A Theatrical Dance Performance.
Conceived and Directed by Corinna Vosse.
Choreography by Paul Bargetto
This was a performance on the Red Hook piers in May of 1997 at the Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition’s Annual Pier Show
It featured music by me and my pal Wrybread working samplers live. I edited this down from about 20 minutes of Hi-8 video from Chris Baxter. That’s East Village performance artist, Gecko, with the flaming nipples.
