Sivan Spector

End of an era So grateful to have a job where I got to dress up and be silly and for all the adults and children who made the last 4.5 years so memorable and helped me learn and grow. Feeling sappy and free and excited for all that is to come!!!!!! I’m terrible at taking photos but here are a few 🤩🌞🌝🥰🥸🤓🤪🌈🎭🎨🚫🥜

You step into Chicago’s oldest firehouse…what happens next is up to you. Come experience FIRE HOUSE, a new immersive play. Link in bio.

Ubermarionettes by Kim Campbell and Directed by Sivan Spector 🌟 Set in 1916 Chicago, Ubermarionettes follows 4 figures who had a brief, powerful influence on the world’s little theater movement. During a time of upheaval and rising fascism, both class identity and classics are put to the test by director Maurice Browne, puppeteer/actor Ellen Von Volkenburg, and actor/playwright Alice Gerstenburg as they go little with theater and include the working class people of Chicago in the world’s greatest art experiment. Throughout their brief reign in Chicago, a queer narrative of countercultural impulses unfolds and informs the future Chicago art scene. A distant reprimand from Edward Gordon Craig challenges and upends their work. His privilege helped gain him a reputation as a genius director and scenic designer, but his struggle with perfectionism and exerting control alienated him from connection and true success. There’s a tragic end for all as the venture dwindles and relationships crumble, but the impact of their work lives on in today’s thriving culture of storefront experimental theater. The play itself is designed as an experiment, a cautionary tale against fascist leanings, a meditation on the way history repeats itself and a moment of revelry in community play, involving actors as storytellers and puppets as actors, with a dash of physical theater and mayhem. CAST: James Hayakawa Michele Stine Camille Mitchell See this play December 5 @facility_theatre ✨

This is an example of deceptive media that is me pretending I have a life outside of SWITCHBOARD

The Brittle Thread is a film that beautifully portrays the intricacies of relationships and religious complexities. Directed by @ritesh_films , this independent gem captures the struggles of its characters in a deeply nuanced way, making it stand out as a fresh and different cinematic experience. The film gave me a similar vibe to what I felt when I first watched Masaan, with its exploration of social and emotional conflicts against the backdrop of Varanasi. Thanks to @moviesaints for releasing this indie treasure, allowing it to reach a broader audience. Now streaming on their platform, the film is receiving praise for its raw and sensitive portrayal of life’s harsh realities. On @letterboxd , viewers commend the film’s atmospheric storytelling and authentic representation of complex issues. Many compare it favorably to other socially conscious Indian films. Google reviews echo similar sentiments, appreciating the film’s subtle handling of themes like religion and class, and praising its strong performances. @anuragkashyap10 has reportedly expressed admiration for the film, acknowledging its bold approach to storytelling and its engagement with real-world issues, marking it as an important addition to Indian indie cinema. Overall, The Brittle Thread is a finely crafted film worth watching. Now Streaming on . . . . #thebrittlethread #indiegem #moviesaints #riteshsharma #masaanfeels #indiecinema #anuragkashyap
