Exit, Pursued by Kaiju Exit, Pursued by Kaiju

James Sutherland, a craftsman in the theatre arts and a smooth-talking Kiwi, joins us to talk about his work with CITA and theories on methodology in Episode 10 of Exit, Pursued by Kaiju.

The modern Graig Bob Russell, man-bun and all, is nothing short of whiz-tastic when it comes to lighting design and has shown an ineffable aptitude for wordcraft, lightcraft, and occasionally fart jokecraft. With Macbeth, he has found himself in the director's slot at the head of his biggest undertaking so far in his theatre career. We bring him in for Episode 09 of Exit, Pursued by Kaiju.

She comes from the business world, tempted into a land of creativity by a simple "why not?" Now, as a theatremaker, she focuses on her work in corporeal mime. We bring on Tania Coke, close collaborator with YTG and director of YTG's Touch Me Not, for Episode 08 of EXIT, Pursued by Kaiju.

In this episode: He crosses the oft-hefty divide between drama/musical theatre and comedy, performing with organizations like Tokyo International Players, Yokohama Theatre Group, the Pirates of Tokyo Bay, Okomedyaki. He's also active behind the scenes, providing moral, promotional, and other such support to the bevy of groups he has connections with (see: nearly all of them). Rodger Sonomura joins us for EXIT 07.

And we're back! As promised! For Episode 06, we've got the long-awaited conclusion of the interview with Wendell T. Harrison, beefy boss of Tokyo Artistic Theatre Ensemble. Come on down and get settled back in with EXIT. Plus, great photos from Free at Last are in here too!

Fine motor skills abound - this episode we're sitting down with Daniel Wishes and Seri Yanai of the Mochinosha and the Wishes Mystical Puppet Company, to talk (at length) about shadow puppetry and other puppetry disciplines in Japan and abroad. We think this one's truly unique - and plus, a preview from Wendell T. Harrison of Free at Last, which opens 2 June in Tokyo!
