Experimental Half-Hour is a cable television show that showcases local and international musicians, dancers, comedians, writers, and performance artists. Our collaborators include established professional artists as well as new performers that excite and inspire us. In addition to broadcasting locally and maintaining a free Internet archive, we engage with the community by curating live multimedia performances, screening episodes at local festivals, and strongly encouraging public participation at tapings. Experimental Half-Hour facilitates a connection between artists and the often underestimated resources our community provides to create, document, and share work with others. Conceptual growth is stimulated by access to a broad range of new and old technologies. A video might be shot in HD, then edited on an analogue mixer. A visual artist might have the opportunity to play with a green screen for the first time.

We’d like to expand our vision by collaborating with artistic communities abroad through: collaboration of projected live visuals, documenting performance pieces utilizing video effects, and producing episodes of our television show. We bring with us a set of unique homemade video effects and analog video synthesizers. We will record and edit new episodes as we travel. Each episode will be uniquely tailored to the individual artistic performances. In keeping with the eclectic nature of the show, the episodes will lend themselves to the vision and essence of the art over the rigidity of a set format or style.

Our goal is to encompass as many artistic communities through multiple produced thirty minute episodes to be aired in numerous cities in the United States. All money collected will pay for a portion of the travel costs.

Scheduled Stops Include:

• New York City
• Croatia
• Germany
• Italy
• Slovenia
• Serbia
• Belgium
• France

Interview with La Gaîté Lyrique

Skype Interview with Stéphanie Vidal

April 23, 2012

Interview (Skype Interview): Experimental Half Hour
L’interview
Lundi 23 avril 2012 par Stéphanie Vidal

Stéphanie Vidal : Bonjour, pouvez-vous vous présenter ?

Eva Aguila : Bonjour, je m’appelle Eva Aguila.

Brock Fansler : Et je suis Brock Fansler. Nous sommes les co-producteurs d’Experimental Half Hour.

SV : Ok. Pouvez-nous nous en dire plus au sujet d’Experimental Half Hour ?

EA : Experimental Half Hour est une série télévisuelle avec des comédiens, des musiciens, des danseurs et des artistes qui viennent réaliser des performances d’une demi-heure constituant un épisode. C’est expérimental et weird .

BF : C’est un show de forme libre. En gros, ce sont des gens issus de la communauté artistique de Portland mais il y des artistes internationaux de passage qui nous rejoignent à l’occasion. Ils ont des idées qu’ils aimeraient réaliser pour la télévision puis tout cela est enregistré et monté en un programme qui dure trente minutes, d’où le nom Experimental Half Hour. Le programme est diffusé sur le câble local et nous mettons les épisodes sur Internet via notre site web .

SV : Donc votre projet est diffusé sur différents médias… Qui sont ceux qui vous regardent ? Est-ce des gens qui, depuis leur canapé, suivent votre show à la télévision, ou des gens qui vous regardent en streaming sur Internet ou encore des gens qui se déplacent dans des lieux d’art ?

BF : Oui en fait, c’est tout cela à la fois. Nous diffusions notre show sur le réseau local de télévision câblée donc il peut être potentiellement regardé par plus d’un demi-million de personnes ici à Portland ! Mais je dirais que la majorité de ceux qui nous regardent le font sur Internet. Le show passe à la télé et directement après il est mis en ligne. Nous avons aussi été projetés dans quelques festivals de musique. Récemment nous avons travaillé pour le Neon Marshmallow , un festival de musique basé à Chicago. Nous avons conçu pour eux une série de vidéo-clips ainsi qu’un épisode spécial qui a été diffusé lors de la première soirée de l’édition 2011.
