The Back Pack presents: Noted, a fast-paced, movement-based, comedy extravaganza creatively combining non-spoken performance, music, dance, and media. The Back Pack’s imaginative style has been described as: “a live action cartoon”, “unmatched in its cleverness”, and “pure entertainment that will leave you with a smile on your face and a glow in your heart.” Noted is a fully original work utilizing The Back Pack's unique brand of storytelling, which features line drawings on large pads of paper strapped to the performers.
Artists include Katie Kohler, Taylor Casas, Alexander Druzbanski, and Pete Betcher.
The Back Pack is a dance comedy troupe that has been together performing whimsical non-spoken sketch shows on stage since their days at The University of Montana, beginning in 2008. All of their work is original; created and performed entirely by the members of the group. From several years working in Austin, Texas, they have been awarded two B. Iden Payne awards, an Austin Critics Table Award, four Best of Fest accolades by Frontera Fest, and were among the Top 4 recognized acts in the Philadelphia Fringe Festival. The Back Pack is currently creating in NYC, and Noted is the debut for the group in the city.
The Back Pack Presents: Series is focused on workshopping new and old work in repertoire from season to season. We use this model to explore new mediums, collaborate with other artists, reach more audience, and ultimately live to our full potential as performers. Mediums include, but are not limited to, clowning, puppetry, shadows, animation, foley, music composition, video, stop motion, and whatever else their hearts desire.
