Cornell Alston and Kaneza Schaal Present "JACK&JILL" at the 2016 Creative Capital Artist Retreat

JACK&JILL is a multimedia comedy of errors. Using the writings of Psychiatrist R.D. Laing, JACK&JILL is a duet for two actors ensnared in dialogue exchanges that become mental tongue twisters, and draws on infamous comedy duos with artists such as Buster Keaton, Elaine May, and Flip Wilson. Schaal and Alston’s mutual commitment to experimentation in theater brought them to their second long-term collaboration. Previous research considered the performance demands of being in prison, how these languages are stored in the body, and their effect on re-entry to society. JACK&JILL will be developed through workshops with people who used the arts while in prison. Read more: creative-capital.org/projects/view/860
