MEELEY or The Fun of It
Earth Speed Productions
Theater, 60 minutes
Philly Fringe
The doomed flight of a beloved aviatrix, her forgotten navigator, a bird of prey, and a fleet of musicians. Earth Speed Productions imagines the final flight of Amelia Earhart, weaving together a fantasy where Earhart knows the end before the propellers even begin to spin.
Part rock band, part theater company, Earth Speed Productions is the collaborative work of Steph Duncan and Nick Forrest. Based in Philadelphia, Earth Speed creates handmade performances that weave together music, experimental theater, and a delight in materials, language, and movement. Earth Speed is also how fast you are moving, right now, at this very moment. Nick Forrest and Steph Duncan have been collaborating together since 2005 when they founded the ecstatic toy-band I saw the bloodied snow but I did not see the creature. Since, they have collaborated together as poet/composer, assistant director/set designer, actor/musician, lover/hater, and dreamer/pragmatist.
