Colin Quinn: Small Talk
With “Small Talk,” there is no obvious trajectory as there was in Quinn’s previous shows
Perhaps it is because the very notion of small talk becomes like a snake eating its own tail. Small talk begets small talk, which is, by its is nature, small.

Field of Mars at NYU Skirball
Existentialism seemed to dominate undertones dealing with the passage of time, mechanically repeating the practices of our predecessors, and our insignificance in the vastness of the universe and history.
