Respect the Boss

The Boss: “I will only help you with the Fulbright scholarship if you help me write a theater-nerd sounding cover letter to intern at Wooster Group.”

Cortez: “If you say you work for IV I will give you ALL of my letters of rec! But don’t forget who you work for gurl!”

The Boss: “I won’t forget. But wouldn’t you like to learn the names of people who give them money????”

Cortez: “Basically you are on a The Departed type mission.”

The Boss: “Oh I thought maybe this could be a chick flick lipstick and heels version.”

Cortez: “Where you kill Willem Defoe in real life.

Should this whole correspondence go on the blog?”

A little musical ditty from The Dorothy K at New isLand Festival in September.

From TheaterMaker magazine, a Dutch publication:
Translation:

One of the most intriguing - and disturbing - entries from [America] comes from the Seattle-based collective Implied Violence. Their piece, The Dorothy K, unfolds both inside and in front of one of Governors Island’s gorgeous federalist homes on what’s known as ‘Colonel’s Row.’ When the performance piece is not taking place, visitors to the New isLand Festival can tour the house which has been transformed into a macabre testament to death and violence. An eerie soundscape plays throughout the house which has been arrayed with a brutally conceived array of items, including pig fetuses and pig entrails. This installation - which includes a performance which the writer was unable to experience - simultaneously chills and rivets and, even without witnessing the group’s production, this American company’s ability to fuse its vision with venue genuinely impresses.
