Projects

Project #1 – Picture while Waiting

Yes, it’s true. We are creating another project at the collective. This time we are going to try giving out creative assignments to see what people will come up with.

Project #1
Take a picture while you are waiting for something.

You could be waiting for a bus, cookies to cool, or your hard drive to defragment. Once we have received a few of these, we will post them to the site in a separate post. The only thing you have to do to be included in this project is to take the picture and then e-mail the piece to civicart[at]-REMOVETHIS-themediacollective.org

We can’t wait to see what you send in!!!

Summer Improv Workshops

We will be starting a free summer Improv Workshop for those of you that are in the area over the summer. The call outs (we’re having multiple) are May 21st (Thursday) and May 23rd (Saturday). We are meeting on the main floor of the Union, above the food courts.

Contact us if you are planning on attending so we have an idea of how many to expect.

We will populate our improv workshop page with more information as well.

Percussive Group Practice near Memorial Union

While going on a bike ride around campus, we came across this group practicing between the Stewart Center and the Purdue Memorial Union.

We captured a time lapse video of their performance and put the first song to the video.

Three Pillars of Comedy Documentation and Interview

Three Pillars of Comedy Purdue University April 3rd, 2009 Flyer

We attended the three pillars of comedy put on by the Purdue improv group, The Crazy Monkeys. The night consisted of three different types of comedy: short form, long form, and sketch. The Ship of Fools, The Crazy Monkeys, and the University tWits performed each of these styles respectively.

We recorded the introduction to night given by Shauvon at Hot Box Pizza, followed by Andrew’s warm-up of the crowd before the Ship of Fools came out on stage.

We missed the intro to the Crazy Monkey’s show at Greyhouse so we were unable to capture that audio.

Before the third installment of this great event started, I managed to snag an interview with Logan Lampton, a member of the Crazy Monkeys. We talked about the night, how he become a member, and the process of animating imaginary people.

And, like the idiots we are, nothing of the University tWits was recorded. So there you have it, an incomplete documentation of the nights events. Enjoy!
