“Robins has created a deeply absorbing premise.”
Kenneth Robins has written and directed musicals for the Public Theater in New York; plays for the Odyssey Theater in Los Angeles; conceived and directed Glam Slam Ulysses, a live, musical performance for the artist, Prince. He created a vehicle for collaboration between The Dance Theater of Harlem and Prince. Robins has written and directed feature and short films for PBS and ABC. His screenplays have been workshopped at Sundance with a feature sold to Universal Studios. The groundbreaking TV film, Swan Lake, Minnesota, which Robins wrote and directed, is in the permanent collection of The Museum of Modern Art.
Kenneth Robins has been in the forefront of merging art forms: dance and film (Sleeping Beauty Wakes Up at the 10th Street Carwash); computer imagery and theater (Lenny and the Heartbreakers); exhibition and live performance (Flesh Fixtures); reality and fantasy (Florida, Black Box). In his current project, RE, digital technology will meld theater and television to create a vibrantly new theater for TV.
