For Immediate Release:
March 13, 2007 (Chicago, IL) – A new collaborative playwriting project, The
Living Script, has just been launched by Chicago area artist Brett Hanover.
The Living Script uses wiki technology to create an online, user-editable
theatrical script.
Users of Wikipedia will be familiar with the format, though here the intent
is to create a work of art constantly in flux - a script that never reaches
its final draft. While collaborative writing projects have utilized wikis in
the past, this is the first time the format has been used to create a stage
play. Whatever develops from this unique process will be available for
performance under a free-media, Creative Commons license.
The Living Script can be edited online at www.livingscript.com beginning the
first of March.
About Brett Hanover:
A product of the burgeoning Memphis independent film scene, Brett Hanover
debuted in 2005 with the short documentary "Above God," winner of Best
Documentary at both the Indie Memphis and Atlanta Underground film
festivals. This was followed by the experimental film "SCHIAVO," featured
both at Indie Memphis and the 2006 Spun from the Web exhibition in Chicago.
Since that time, he has directed numerous productions, including the
critically acclaimed performance "S4TYR PL4Y," (2006) the first theatrical
work to deal with anthropomorphic identity. Hanover currently attends the
School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and is working on a feature
documentary, "Bunnyland," set for release in '08. (Artist Contact:
