It is a show/experience and sometimes camp through the Chicago Children&#8217;s Theater . The purpose is to create theatre that is created specifically for children with Autism. You can see their mission eloquently put, as well as watch a movie about Red Kite on their site here&#8230;</p>

<p>The facebook page is often updated with news, events, etc. http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/pages/The-Red-Kite-Project/120621808004073</p>
<p>The month that we worked to put up the most current production of Red Kite By the Sea, went by so fast and was in some ways a blur. So many magical moments, from the actual technique/art of the show (beautiful music and <a href="http://www.luftwerk.net/">projections</a>) as well as of course, from heart and mind connections. Smiles, laughter, and no thank yous, group dance parties, learning boundaries, and impromptu sing-alongs. Its hard to not sound cheesy about it, but as a performer on stage to hold an audience members hand, interact with/explore a prop together,  be held accountable for knowing when something is too loud or too scary and have to change in the moment is beautiful and rare. Its a real live event! And that is why I want to do any theatre, for emotional communication, a present connection. This specific audience demands it. This specific show was a sensual (as in the 5 senses), emotional landscape (to borrow a term from bjork) with an attention to schedule, storytelling and detail that I hope to remember for future writing and theatre creations. Also, bubbles are rad. Period.</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t wait to get back to Red Kite after a bit of time off (we&#8217;ve got a gig at the end of this month!) Speaking of that, if you know of anyone who would like to have Red Kite come to wherever they are, please <a href="http://www.theredkiteproject.org/home.html">contact Red Kite for more information</a> &#8230; and I&#8217;m not just saying that because that would get me work. Although that&#8217;s part of it! This is a lovely, gentle, wondrous, dreamy creation and I am so glad to be involved with the team.</p>
