Opening the 2006 woken’glacier season, locomotive explores the consequences of a broken home. Through this story of a mother, father, and daughter dealing with the disintegration of their family, the play deals with themes of alcoholism and parenthood. In locomotive, woken’glacier puts its methods of physicality and hyper-realistic mark on new territory.
locomotive marks the company’s fifth collaboration with actress and Actor’s Studio member, Beth Manspeizer and playwright, Matthew Paul Olmos. Manspeizer was nominated for a
2005 New York IT Award for her role as Jewish Broad in woken’glacier’s seal sings its song, also written by Matthew Paul Olmos. Obie Award winning playwright Neal Bell describes Olmos’s writing as possessing “a fascinatingly original voice: street-gritty and boldly poetic, brutally raw but often very funny, and always intensely theatrical.”
woken’glacier is comprised of international theatre artists dedicated to creating new art by introducing unfamiliar theater pieces and exposing abuse, both social and political. Of the company, NYTheatre.com says ”Intriguing. Compelling. There's clearly talent and intellect at work from woken'glacier.” Using a collaborative process between actor, director, and writer and synthesizing the methods of Stanislavsky with the techniques of Viewpoints, Martial Arts, and Suzuki, woken’glacier presents work that is experimental, challenging, and fresh.
