Connected : An Interactive Experience
Connected : An Interactive Experience is a theatrical experience that explores the theme of human relationships and the things that cause us to connect and disconnect with one another.
The show utilized story, dance, technology and interactive elements and invited the audience to move from simply spectating to being part of the experience. As the audience saw the story of a man named Jacob unfold before them, they were also led introspectively through the experience by a third person, omniscient guide. Each of the seats in the theater were wired with a set of headphones through which the guide communicated and prompted the audience.
Uncover the Color’s Cole NeSmith, John David Harris and Holly Harris partnered with director, Aradhana Tiwari to write, produce and create Connected : An Interactive Experience which won several awards at its debut at the Orlando International Fringe Theater Festival.
Identity
This is a simple, yet really powerful experience around the concept of identity. Knowing who God says we are is crucial in the process of living into who we’ve been created to be. This experience uses any wall, a mirror and some dry erase markers. Read More
LED Throwies
LEDs have become increasingly inexpensive and are a cool accent tool to lots of projects. Recently, Uncover The Color created a Prayer Labyrinth in a dimly lit space for the Catalyst Conference in Dallas, TX. The carpet in the room was dark, and the outline of the labyrinth was made from dark, Mexican River Stones from Home Depot. So, to keep people from missing the experience altogether, we ordered 10mm White LEDs from eBay and a few hundred cr2032 watch batteries to light the way. Read More
Prayer Labyrinth
Prayer Labyrinths have been part of Christian worship since the 12th Century. It’s an opportunity to engage in contemplative prayer as participants walk through a maze like outline on the ground. The only difference with the labyrinth is that there are no dead ends. Just one way in, one path to walk and one exit. Read More

Common Things Becoming New
So often, we – as creatives – use the simple excuse of “I can’t afford it” or “I don’t have the right supplies.” The truth is, part of being creative is having the ability to take the things around us and turn them into something new. Read More
Rod Serling : Censoring Our Art
In 1951, Rod Serling left the security of his full time job to become a free lance storyteller. His medium was primarily television – which, at the time, was in its very early stages. Storytellers, advertisers and the FCC were in a battle to determine the boundaries in which television would operate. Read More

Catalyst Dallas
Shopping started on Tuesday. Set up Wednesday. Experience running all day Thursday and Friday.
This year’s Catalyst Dallas Conference is being held at Bent Tree Bible Fellowship. We’re in one wing of a very busy lobby, so one of the challenges this time around was to create some quiet, solitary spaces in the midst of all the activity. So, we bought a ton of fabric and did it all in the style of “gypsy circus.” Read More
