Most practitioners of the craft know the value of easily adaptable and affordable systems that can do this work, and I have had success in using off-the-shelf industrial controls paired with personal computers to develop such a system.

The following documentation offers insight to the technology, the research process, and the various realized projects that comprise the bulk of the effort. A descriptive listing of what the following pages include is below--

	An overview of the industrial technology that underlies the project.
	The  project at the Steppenwolf Theatre supported by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. This includes A detailed description of the project, and Some detail on Mother Courage and Her Children, the first production at Steppenwolf to use some of the technology.
	An on-going collaboration with the Alley Theatre in Houston, TX
	Research and performance testing at the University of Texas, including The Automated Body project and work in both the Center for Advanced Studies in the Arts and Department of Theatre & Dance
	Outreach efforts to disseminate the technology including  Master Class / Workshops, and Conference presentations.
	A listing of my publications

Some of my work has been noted in publication by others--

	An article on the Steppenwolf collaboration in Entertainment Design magazine, and
	An IT@UT profile from the office of Information Technology Services at UT Austin.
