Please join PPL for the final production of their newest work! Perhaps you’ve seen it in development…now come see the final product!

Workforce/ Forced Work documents the emotional and physical patterns of American workers and uses them to map connections between private, personal experience and public, political structures. Using multi-layered rhythms of crude video, stop motion clay animation, music, sampled sound, and live performance, the piece pulls the everyday grind into the realm of sur-reality and excruciatingly sincere emotional reaction. (Running time: just a little under 1 hour)

Text, direction, and design by Esther Neff Composition and sound design by Brian McCorkle Performed by: Meredith Kitz, Matthew Stephen Smith, and Chelsea O’Connor Additional video by Meredith Kitz
