Squonk will premiere their new show, Joy Machine, this weekend at the Three Rivers Arts Festival! Co-founder and Artistic Executive Director Jackie Dempsey speaks with Melissa Black about the production.
Squonk have been putting on interactive multimedia performances for over 30 years, and Joy Machine calls for the most audience participation yet. Participants will be able to express their musical talent on the drum wall, help build Joy Machine's giant puppet, and take flight during the performance's finale.
Jackie takes Melissa through this project's life, from conception and music composition to and rehearsals. Following the festival, Joy Machine will go on tour, making stops in Beaver, Greensburg, and Oakland before visiting other states.
