Hotel Tableau @ Besharat Contemporary for FLUX Event
Friday, September 30th, 8 pm to Midnight

Who wouldn’t want the chance to take an anonymous peek into a hotel room to find out someone’s dirty little secret?

Hotel Tableau is an installation performance that looks unassuming at first … but then the audience feels compelled to play the roll of a voyeur by looking through the peep holes in a hallway of six hotel room doors. The interaction is not always only one way … the guests in each room might notice that someone is standing outside their door and might peek out to see who is spying on them!

Conceived and directed by Amy Rush for Xperimental Puppetry Theater 2010 at the Center for Puppetry Arts, Hotel Tableau also has appeared at the Puppeteers of American National Puppetry Festival.

Amy Rush is an Atlanta-based puppeteer and graphic designer. She studied the performance, directing and building of puppets at University of Connecticut, where she earned an M.A. in Puppet Arts. She has attended many National Puppetry Conferences at the Eugene O’Neill Theater Center in Waterford, CT. As a performer, Amy has worked with the Center for Puppetry Arts, Synchronicity Performance Group and Haverty Marionettes. She is an Associate Artist with Out of Hand Theater, where she is able to expand her creative mind and think outside the puppet box while working in a physical theater style that informs her puppet performance and allows her to work inside her own body. She enjoys creating intimate puppet experiences that engage the audience in unique ways, whether that be in the viewing, the setting or the personal nature of the story.
