Forward Flux LLC

Presenting live art utilizing today's technology for today's audiences.

<b>Forward Flux Productions LLC</b>&nbsp;<div>Forward Flux is a brand new production company (comprised of the following five members: Ben Sayeg, CJ Dockery, Karesia Batan, Rafael Landeiro, and Wesley Fruge - more on us below) that is developing a brand new show called <span style="font-weight: bold;">FriendAndy.com</span>. We formed this company to create live art utilizing today's technology for today's audiences, and we strive to reinvent the theatre experience by blending the traditional art form with unconventional ideas.<br><br><b>About our current project:</b><br>Social networking has launched a trend that is transforming how people choose to interact with one another. Along with the rise of blogging, social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Chat Roulette, Skype, and Foursquare are communication capabilities so accessible that research reports they are more appealing than the human voice or face-to-face interaction. This trend is the focus of <span style="font-weight: bold;">FriendAndy.com</span>, a new NYC-based play that explores the effect of social media on human relationships, from a local to global perspective. <br>As the most visited site in 2010 with over 550 million users, Facebook is setting the pace in an ever-evolving climate in social media usage. Research conducted in 2010 by mobile research agency mobileSQUARED projected social networking to be the top form of communication by 2015 at 77% likelihood, leading the voice at 55%. <span style="font-weight: bold;">FriendAndy.com</span> is a commentary on this current shift. Accessing social media in a theatrical setting, <span style="font-weight: bold;">FriendAndy.com</span> tells an interactive story to raise users’ awareness of social networking’s impact on human interaction.<br><div><br></div><div><b>Contact:</b></div><div>Feel free to contact us with any questions, comments, non-monetary donations (we are in need of an artist work space), and any for any other reasons by emailing: <u>forward.flux.llc@gmail.com</u></div><div><br></div><div><b>More About Us:</b></div><div><h3 style="margin-top: 0.83em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.83em; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 14px/normal Helvetica, Arial, Tahoma, sans-serif; "><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 14px/normal Helvetica, Arial, Tahoma, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; "><span style="color: rgb(77, 77, 77); font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; font-size: 11pt; background-color: transparent; border-collapse: separate; font-size: 11pt; background-color: transparent;"></span><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000" face="Times" size="3" style="font-weight: normal; border-collapse: separate; font-size: 1.17em; "><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/WkNyaYt3l4utjA8VjDruMIrEF4RIDJMRu1Zt-tI8q2EC0HOIzkB0RcvRElk2aww5F0Iw_GD-eUImR8zUoAt9y_GjfqsdHNxMHcWG72lwdNNjLg7IDxQ" width="64px;" height="43px;" style="vertical-align: middle; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-width: initial; border-color: initial; "></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 14px/normal Helvetica, Arial, Tahoma, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; border-collapse: separate; font-size: 1.17em; font-weight: bolder; "><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000" face="Times" size="3" style="font-weight: normal; "></font><span style="color: rgb(77, 77, 77); font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; ">Wesley Fruge</span><span style="color: rgb(77, 77, 77); font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; "> (Artistic Director, Forward Flux / Creator &amp; Director of FriendAndy.com): Actor, director, stage manager, and producer.
