Infinity Box Theatre Project acknowledges that we live and work on the traditional land of the first people of Seattle, the Duwamish People, past and present, and honor with gratitude the land itself and the Duwamish Tribe. We hope to contribute to a Future on this land consistent with the values of their culture.
Infinity Box supports the Black Lives Matter Movement and Indigenous Peoples Movements.
We're still here.
It has
been a hard year and we miss you all very much. But like everyone, Infinity Box
has been facing what Pogo used to call an "insurmountable
opportunity." We have
taken advantage of this forced opportunity to rethink and refocus what Infinity
Box Theatre Project is all about.
Yes, we are about Science - and Theater. But mostly we are about the Future. We are about science people and theater people coming together to explore the human consequences of science and technology.
The future will be shaped by the stories we tell about it - and the ways we tell them.
If you are engaged in science or in theater – or are a person who cares
deeply about either of those worlds – please join us!
Here are some of the ongoing projects we hope to bring back in the After Time
Thought Experiments on the Question of Being Human
A festival of short plays
Scientists and playwrights collaborate to explore
how current and near future developments in science and technology affect what
it means to be human.
Centrifuge
Science News meets Science Fiction
5 playwrights, 5 science writers, and a full complement of theater artists. Plus the power of random.
5 World Premiere 10 minute Science Plays, each with its own introductory Science Talk.
Faraday Cage Match
An Evening of Competitive Science Improv
Three contestants discuss their main research ideas with our crack improv team, then join the team on stage in improvs based on those ideas. We quiz the audience and a bit of math later we declare the winner!
InVerse Functions
An Evening of Science Poetry
Science poems by local poets, read by local actors, and featuring poems by a famous scientist you didn't know was also a poet.
...and Other Wonders We Hope to Bring Back Sometime
Galileo Dialogues: an evening of Science and Society
We paused this annual event after 10 yrs partnering with the Seattle U Physics Department. Celebration of human discovery, plays and lively conversation about the many interconnections between science and religion, politics, art.... All about - or in the spirit of - Galileo Galilei.
Psychlotron: Smashing ideas together at high speed, just to see what happens
Two speakers from oddly unrelated fields. Each gets 15 minutes to talk about "whatever fascinates them." Then the audience joins in - smashes the ideas together - and all kinds of insight ensues. The smartest fun you've ever had. More than 20 so far and we can't wait to do it again.
Watch Out!
Be on the look out for new things from Infinity Box.
There are new ideas fermenting. We hope to make them real before too long.
Also, if you have ideas for things you would like to make real, please tell us about them.
