You have found us: two fellows with two lifetimes of vision and blindness under our brows. One of us grew up with night blindness, the other has been blinded by the light since birth. We met in 2011 and have collaborated on seven theatre projects since, all informed by our unique visions, yet our blindness has remained in the background. Until now.
In 2015, Mason Rosenthal and Morgan FitzPatrick Andrews embark on a new endeavor called Rods & Comes, a play, perhaps, about vision lost and blindness found. We begin this project with a public workshop on January 9th in Philadelphia, and also this journal of all things visual: When do our visual impediments impede us? What are our weird work-arounds to surmount shortsightedness? And how do we see depictions of blindness in the world around us?
Our aim is to document things as they come up, to notice things that normally go unnoticed, and to deeper this dialogue that has thus far been a more casual conversation. If you're here, stick around. And stay tuned for updates on Rods & Cones as it develops.
