This is not a Tree is an original multi-media experimental play examining the role technology plays in our 21st Century day-to-day lives. The text and media will be created during Winter Session 2008. This is not a Tree performed during Spring 2008.    
    In the heightened arena of this experimental theatre piece, the silence and stillness of a Redwood forest is juxtaposed with the chaos and fast pace of an urban setting. Technology remains neutral -- or does it --  as paths cross in the lives of a filmmaker, a young girl, an actress, a birdwatcher, a video gamer, a photographer, an IT nerd, an older couple and a witness. This is not a Tree is an original, multi-media, movement- based theatre piece, offering glimpses of connection and isolation in the wonderful world of technology.    
    Co-created by Melissa Randel and Anita Bloom
