From that simple prompt came \u003Ci>Our Options Have Changed\u003C/i> (OOHC), an interactive audio experience released in 2022. With a sprawling web of content containing mindfulness exercises, subversive challenges, office voicemails, hidden puzzles, and introspective monologues, OOHC slowly reveals a dystopian storyworld via a telephone menu. The breadth of experiences available was a direct outcome of our process for development: we provided the structure for any Creative Partner to add whatever they wanted to the experience, trusting in our ability to synthesize the material. We describe the result as a pando-narrative, named for the organism that appears as a grove of distinct trees but is actually connected via a single root system. We will share the organizational structure mapping the interactive experience, the internal narrative that emerged, and subsequent manifestations of the OOHC heterocosm in other forms. There'll also be a chance to try out some of our collaborative tools in a low-pressure creative exercise!","BVwb05AU52",[],[],{"id":506,"status":6,"date_created":507,"date_updated":508,"user_created":214,"user_updated":214,"title":509,"slug":510,"excerpt":12,"cover_image":511,"publish_date":512,"meta_title":12,"meta_description":12,"content":513,"cover_image_override":12,"tags":519,"gallery":520},"8b5d0305-76be-4030-a09c-7077f896dcbf","2026-03-20T04:01:15.915Z","2026-03-20T22:25:03.338Z","The Go Bag Plays","the-go-bag-plays","75df8148-4e88-47d7-9a46-82709005a411","2025-07-03",{"blocks":514,"version":225},[515],{"type":32,"data":516,"id":518},{"html":517},"\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u003C/span>\u003Ci>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Go Bag Plays\u003C/span>\u003C/i>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a new short play series developed by Flux’s creative kinship to provide practical support and creative inspiration.

From that simple prompt came \u003Ci>Our Options Have Changed\u003C/i> (OOHC), an interactive audio experience released in 2022. With a sprawling web of content containing mindfulness exercises, subversive challenges, office voicemails, hidden puzzles, and introspective monologues, OOHC slowly reveals a dystopian storyworld via a telephone menu. The breadth of experiences available was a direct outcome of our process for development: we provided the structure for any Creative Partner to add whatever they wanted to the experience, trusting in our ability to synthesize the material. We describe the result as a pando-narrative, named for the organism that appears as a grove of distinct trees but is actually connected via a single root system. We will share the organizational structure mapping the interactive experience, the internal narrative that emerged, and subsequent manifestations of the OOHC heterocosm in other forms.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp class=\"taglist\" style=\"text-align: center;\">[narrative design, interactive theater, cross platform, tools]\u003C/p>\n\u003Ca href=\"https://flux-theatrecms-production.up.railway.app/assets/97f05bab-06b7-4221-8e3b-169a40059193\">\u003Cimg class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11786\" src=\"https://www.fluxtheatre.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/About_Us-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" />\u003C/a>","1gvqHFT6kR",[],[],{"id":710,"status":6,"date_created":711,"date_updated":712,"user_created":214,"user_updated":214,"title":713,"slug":714,"excerpt":12,"cover_image":715,"publish_date":700,"meta_title":12,"meta_description":12,"content":716,"cover_image_override":12,"tags":722,"gallery":723},"d37b7b0a-c179-4284-ab01-369209bba433","2026-03-20T04:01:13.064Z","2026-03-20T22:25:35.175Z","THE ELEPHANT PLAY Spotlight: Emily Rondon","the-elephant-play-spotlight-emily-rondon","7c473e49-8f4a-4f86-99a5-0e8c4610c16f",{"blocks":717,"version":225},[718],{"type":32,"data":719,"id":721},{"html":720},"We're thrilled to continue the creative team of \u003Cem>The Elephant Play\u003C/em> by Kelly O'Donnell with stage manager Emily Rondon!

Davis, who last graced Flux stages as Cori in \u003Ca href=\"https://www.fluxtheatre.org/History/metra-a-climate-revolution-play-with-songs/\">\u003Cem>Metra: A Climate Revolution Play with Songs\u003C/em>\u003C/a> (\u003Ca href=\"https://www.metrathemusical.com/\">podcast dropping soon\u003C/a>). We asked Cherrye a few questions based on Rebecca Ana Peña's powerful new play, which you can learn more about \u003Ca href=\"https://www.fluxtheatre.org/2025/04/join-us-for-aves-autta-ino-mel-by-rebecca-ana-pena/\">here\u003C/a>.\n\n\u003Cstrong>Let’s say you decide to establish a new religion: what or who would you put at the center?\u003C/strong>\n\nI think core elements of a new religion would be to learn from what already works. For example, empathy, collective action, and environmental sustainability sit within many belief systems, and would benefit all humans, not just it’s followers. Centering these elements naturally encourages healthier food and environments, equitable access to human rights, problem solving within communities, and a sense of belonging.\n\n\u003Cstrong>What do you do when you need to express some rage?\u003C/strong>\n\nI’ve been writing poetry for 20+ years, and I personally get a lot out of writing through rage: I think some of the most meaningful art can start from a righteous demand for justice, repair, and/or healing, etc. Rage can be one of the most direct signals that change is needed, be it personal or communal. I find that rage lights up my imagination, and allows me to grieve and see solutions I would have never considered otherwise. 10/10, highly recommend:)\n\n\u003Cstrong>Tell me something wonderful about girlhood (either from experience, or observation).\u003C/strong>\n\nGirlhood is damp soil and scalding August concrete. It's the burn in thigh muscles while chasing an ice cream truck. It's the last time I remember thinking \"my legs are strong enough to catch that truck because I am powerful\". It's before the thoughts and whispers of \"my legs are too jiggly\" got too loud. It’s caring less about what attracts others, but what feels right for the girl. It's not knowing yet that the world will soon come to eat you. Girlhood is also not remembering a time when the world wasn't coming to eat you. It's a space deserved and oft cut short or denied to too many. Girlhood is sacred, and a lynchpin of society that benefits everyone when protected and lifted.\n\n\u003Cstrong>Anything coming up you want to tell us about?\u003C/strong>\n\nI will be stage managing The PIT's \"That's Our Show!\" performance on Thursday, May 22nd at 9:15pm, which is a variety spectacular in the form of sketch comedy.\n\n\u003Cstrong>Cherrye J.

In the patriarchal society that we live in, it is so easy to for girls and women to feel insignificant or less than. I have found that really beautiful work and conversations come out of spaces where women are given the opportunity to relate to and understand each other. It is easy for us to compare and pit ourselves against each other, but with our support of one another, we can truly raise each other to our full potential and feel the power in our girlhood.\n\n\u003Cstrong>If you had the power to glimpse the future, would you? What would you try to see?\u003C/strong>\n\nI don’t think I would glimpse to the future if I had the ability to. I would be so concerned with the butterfly effect and would be worried that every decision I ever make would be the incorrect one, causing the future I saw to change.

There’s so much that we really don’t know; and it would be nice to have a religion which encourages that in the forefront. I think more acceptance on what hasn’t actually been confirmed can help us hang our hats on what’s certain.\n\n\u003Cstrong>What do you do when you need to express some rage?\u003C/strong>\n\nI’ll let myself sing, stretch, or call a trusted friend about the situation. But most times, I write. I’ll outline what happened, how I felt presently about it, maybe make a plan on how I’d like to move forward. Oftentimes it’s in the form of a journal entry; but sometimes it’ll take the form of potential song lyrics or story ideas. I believe in prioritizing the space you have to process your emotions if you can. Anything to complete the stress cycle. (shoutout ‘Burnout’ by Emily and Amelia Nagowski)\n\n\u003Cstrong>Tell me something wonderful about girlhood (either from experience, or observation).\u003C/strong>\n\nGrowing up, I really loved the female friendships my older sister had. She was part of this youth chapter of this black professional sorority (Phi Delta Kappa); and I admired the way her friends from it support each other to this day. It felt like her community held space for emotions, expression, and vulnerability; and as a teenage boy navigating so many messages about masculinity, that was impactful. It almost felt radical, and I consider myself very lucky to have that kind of friendship modeled when I did.\n\n\u003Cstrong>If you had the power to glimpse the future, would you? What would you try to see?\u003C/strong>\n\nListen, my impulse is to say no. But, I’ll admit it’s 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘺 tempting. Nowadays, success for me is doing what I need to when I need to do it; so if I could have some context on what could insure that for my family and I, why not? (Though I’m not trying to be Biff Tannen from Back To The Future Part Two. No sir.)\n\n\u003Cstrong>Anything coming up you want to tell us about?\u003C/strong>\n\nI want to shout out incoming new music!

If so, please share a little about that experience.\u003C/strong>\n\nWhen I was little (around age 4-5) my mom said that I claimed to see an old woman sitting in our living room. I have no recollection of this. But she said it started to make me anxious. I couldn’t sleep in my bed alone and i refused to walk around the house during the day. It got so bad that my mom sent me to live with my grandmother for a few months in Venezuela. My mom said that the land lady one day asked where I was because she had not seen me. My mom explained the situation and she said her face went blank. The woman shared with my mom that prior to us moving in the apartment it was occupied by a man and his mother. He drove trucks and would be gone for days at a time. She said that one day he returned after a trip and found that his mom had passed away in a chair in the living room. My mom moved shortly after.\n\n\u003Cstrong>Where's a place you go when you need to go away?\u003C/strong>\n\nThe easiest place is my bed. But I really love a lush park.\n\n\u003Cstrong>What's something meaningful you've learned from an elder?\u003C/strong>\n\nDo it before you think you are ready. My mom said she watched so many people take the risks and take jobs she was too afraid to take and get ahead with their careers because they had the confidence to say yes--even when she had more experience than those people. (she's a seamstress). It is her biggest regret in life.\n\n\u003Cstrong>What's something meaningful you've learned from a younger?\u003C/strong>\n\nThat I need to rest. Someone younger than me asked me if I ever take a day off and I looked at them like they were an alien. They said they take one day a week to just stay in bed and not do anything. They watch tv and and relax and that broke my brain. But it made me think about the quality of my life and where I can be more intentional to put myself first and make sure that I'm re-filling my well before pouring into others.\n\n\u003Cstrong>Anna LaMadrid \u003C/strong>(she/hers) is most likely recognized for her role as “Fake Angela,” opposite Nathan Fielder in HBO’s groundbreaking first season of THE REHEARSAL.

So let’s look at this other field and learn from them and bring that back to the arts and culture and see how things start to work.”\n-Daniel Park\n\n““If theatre’s dying but video games are ascending, how do we bring the joys and pleasures from gaming to immersive theater, where we want audiences to really have meaningful choice?”.”\n-Ari Gass\u003C/blockquote>\n\u003Cstrong>Obvious Agency\u003C/strong> creates interactive, experiential art that ranges from the personal, to the institutional, to the ridiculous. Blending theatrical and digital arts, we create spaces where participants can co-create their own experiences through first-hand exploration of the worlds we create. Always serious, always silly, we believe that by helping create and define culture, we can create systemic and interpersonal change.\n\nOur commitment to co-creative work stems from a dissatisfaction with “immersive” models of live performance. Instead of being pulled under and subject to other’s creative currents, we start from the assumption that people innately have both artistic impulses and the capacity to create art, and that our art is enriched by both their impulses and capacities. We create models of audiencing that help us think about familiar spaces in unfamiliar ways, that empower us to act in ways that might feel too transgressive in less controlled circumstances, and that imagine worlds in which we are empowered to make decisions on the bases of pleasure, not necessity.\n\nInherent in this imagining of new ways of being and creating is our governing and administrative structure. We are a worker-owned cooperative grounded in anti-capitalist, anti-racist, non-normative, liberatory, and feminist frameworks. Obvious Agency’s work is collectively authored and owned. We split labor and remuneration transparently and unanimously, on a project-by-project basis. And we love what we do.","t1jccPa5E2",[],[],{"id":1580,"status":6,"date_created":1581,"date_updated":1582,"user_created":214,"user_updated":214,"title":1583,"slug":1584,"excerpt":12,"cover_image":1585,"publish_date":1586,"meta_title":12,"meta_description":12,"content":1587,"cover_image_override":12,"tags":1593,"gallery":1594},"d5dd24e4-ccea-494a-86ff-70f2e136db67","2026-03-20T04:01:01.772Z","2026-03-20T22:25:36.325Z","Methods in Madness and Polly at The Brick this November","methods-in-madness-and-polly-at-the-brick-this-november","5480e302-e41b-4c7a-8610-fea0b749557f","2024-09-30",{"blocks":1588,"version":225},[1589],{"type":32,"data":1590,"id":1592},{"html":1591},"\u003C!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>\u003Ca href=\"https://www.bricktheater.com/events/2024-11/\">LEARN MORE AND GET TICKETS AT THE BRICK\u003C/a>\u003C/strong>\u003C/p>\n\u003C!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n\u003C!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>When an artist sets out to investigate the line between art and madness, he finds himself in a dangerous dance with existential questions:\u003C/strong>\u003C/p>\n\u003C!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n\u003C!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\u003Cp>Why create art? \u003C/p>\n\u003C!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n\u003C!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\u003Cp>Does it heal or harm us? \u003C/p>\n\u003C!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n\u003C!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\u003Cp>Must artists suffer?\u003C/p>\n\u003C!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n\u003C!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\u003Cp>What’s the price of so-called “genius?”\u003C/p>\n\u003C!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n\u003C!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>\u003Cem>Methods in Madness\u003C/em>\u003C/strong> is a theatrical experiment + \u003Cdel>autopsy\u003C/del> + installation that aims to examine the creative process and correlations between mental health and artistry.  Helmed by multidisciplinary artist  and Flux Creative Partner Corey Allen—whose visual art and performances, inspired by the works of James Baldwin, Beauford Delaney, Nina Simone, and Julius Eastman, anchor the installation—\u003Cem>Methods in Madness\u003C/em> will evolve daily.\u003C/p>\n\u003C!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n\u003C!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\u003Cp>Featuring interactive media, surprise guest respondents and select excerpts of Allen’s play \u003Cstrong>\u003Cem>Polly, a dumbshow for smart people desperate to survive the fallout\u003C/em>\u003C/strong>, the experience invites audiences to interrogate the challenges of navigating an absurd world while considering their own artistic journeys. \u003Ca href=\"https://www.fluxtheatre.org/\">Flux Theatre Ensemble\u003C/a> is proud to support Corey’s vision as artistic collaborators and co-producers!\u003C/p>\n\u003C!-- /wp:paragraph -->","0yps7S2YM3",[],[],{"id":1596,"status":6,"date_created":1597,"date_updated":1598,"user_created":214,"user_updated":214,"title":1599,"slug":1600,"excerpt":12,"cover_image":1601,"publish_date":1602,"meta_title":12,"meta_description":12,"content":1603,"cover_image_override":12,"tags":1609,"gallery":1610},"fd9b308b-f6c7-458a-a5c8-07f6822847d9","2026-03-20T04:01:01.537Z","2026-03-20T22:25:54.747Z","\u003Cem>Sicko\u003C/em>, a staged reading of a new play by Amy Dellagiarino","sicko-a-staged-reading-of-a-new-play-by-amy-dellagiarino","cacf3c81-a1ba-4155-928a-f82a1d9075ac","2024-09-23",{"blocks":1604,"version":225},[1605],{"type":32,"data":1606,"id":1608},{"html":1607},"We're thrilled to be sharing this exciting new play with our Los Angeles community!
