The process for each piece began with text-- each member of the company brought in a short piece of text as their starting point. The 9 members of the group collaborated with Director, Evan Johnson, to bring their text to life. One of the members, Helen Dannenberg, participated entirely from her landline telephone. The Voice Over Project allowed a rich opportunity for the Elders to collaborate in new ways while engaging every member of the group. They recorded their own video footage using cell phones, iPads and web cameras. They met up for socially distant recording sessions, recorded their voices, and sourced video clips, sound bites and music from the web. Editing duties were split up between Evan Johnson and Mary Hones. The members of Cosmic Elders Theatre Ensemble are: Raina Cohen, Helen Dannenberg, Grace D’Anca, Liz Dunn, Mary Hones, Denise Larson, Beth MacLeod, and Perry Tom. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b732a73d274cb0e35ae5789/1534274810243-Q8BTAT5X0MHRS97OCHPJ/DSC06569.jpg home - Barn Owl (Spring 2018) Photo: Robbie Sweeny https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b732a73d274cb0e35ae5789/1534275360001-PWBH638Q8CU7R1Y8SNYE/DSC06404.jpg home - Barn Owl (Spring 2018) Photo: Robbie Sweeny https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b732a73d274cb0e35ae5789/1534275304678-DDTTT2AQYAT3FGUVXODG/DSC06502.jpg home - Barn Owl (Spring 2018) Photo: Robbie Sweeny https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b732a73d274cb0e35ae5789/1598393854051-Z62TRCMXWV49PLKBUN4L/image-asset.jpeg home - A Seat at the Table (Deborah Slater Dance Theatre, 2020) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b732a73d274cb0e35ae5789/1534275666715-6CQISCHLR85MCIGL01H0/DSC06478.jpg home - Barn Owl (Spring 2018) Photo: Robbie Sweeny https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b732a73d274cb0e35ae5789/1534275738118-S8STUZBYZM31DIH6DQY0/DSC00017.jpg home - Barn Owl (Spring 2018) Photo: Robbie Sweeny https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b732a73d274cb0e35ae5789/1534275334798-6MGDWQBW4NTSN04XQBG2/DSC_0140.jpg home - Barn Owl (Spring 2018) Photo: Robbie Sweeny https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b732a73d274cb0e35ae5789/1534275726417-FJ2KWTBC2Y8RHBCQUC2S/DSC00001.jpg home - Barn Owl (Spring 2018) Photo: Robbie Sweeny https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b732a73d274cb0e35ae5789/1534275636019-EAO09MFNTZ22NJ3FW111/Dahmer2010.jpg home - Don't Feel: The Death of Dahmer (Winter 2016) Photo: David Wilson https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b732a73d274cb0e35ae5789/1534275265293-485HY4YLJOH07JFL4LV1/DSC_7427.jpg home - Don't Feel: The Death of Dahmer (Winter 2016) Photo: Robbie Sweeny https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b732a73d274cb0e35ae5789/1539941823320-604CN88S4TZ7Z4NY4TZZ/BARNOWL.png home - CounterPulse Artist Profile: Evan Johnson https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b732a73d274cb0e35ae5789/1534275125596-DS6AICZUFXWK1MYUJM3W/DSC_7403.jpg home - Don't Feel: The Death of Dahmer (Winter 2016) Photo: Robbie Sweeny https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b732a73d274cb0e35ae5789/1534274307216-84K3P4HGWCJMLU8GVC2W/PANSY-Credit-RobbieSweeny.jpg home - Pansy (2013) Photo: Robbie Sweeny https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b732a73d274cb0e35ae5789/1534275594874-XY0KMF1033IGGR10R8YA/PANSY-Credit-LoisTema%232.jpg home - Pansy (2013) Photo: Lois Tema https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b732a73d274cb0e35ae5789/1534282658241-SB8Z8VL6YXJ6TWTDBI83/EvanJohnson.jpg home - Pansy (2013) Photo: Robbie Sweeny https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b732a73d274cb0e35ae5789/1534275599206-CIQSY9A8F6YB05NPMMKS/PANSY-Credit-CabureBonugli%232.JPG home - Pansy (2013) Photo: Cabure Bonugli https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b732a73d274cb0e35ae5789/1534275610049-5UR5NA8XFR5UGKUT70W7/PANSY-Credit-LoisTema%231.jpg home - Pansy (2013) Photo: Lois Tema https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b732a73d274cb0e35ae5789/1534275687822-N8LLB1QU1LVOYUH2DDEE/15994625_1153018201484253_6059531888927894048_o.jpg home - The Paper Tramps Pictured: Michele Menard and Evan Johnson Photo: Gareth Gooch https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b732a73d274cb0e35ae5789/1534276542759-AI1IGTMTT7YGI7K7MB8F/DSC_7454.jpg home - The Paper Tramps Pictured: Michele Menard and Evan Johnson Photo: Gareth Gooch https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b732a73d274cb0e35ae5789/1534282615394-GLBPSFD1I5Y4TYUPL1C0/EvanJohnson-clown.jpg home - Alvin McGee Evan Johnson as “Alvin McGee” (clown) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b732a73d274cb0e35ae5789/1534282621500-HZCKWM4S8M4SHUY7PGE2/23244423_10156092128962079_1027802971590075942_n.jpg home - Martha T.
