 DEVELOPMENTAL HISTORY: Frequency Hopping was the winner of the 2007 STAGE International Script Competition and was developed, in part, through the University of California, Santa Barbara, STAGE Project by the Professional Artists Lab (Nancy Kawalek, Director) and the California NanoSystems Institute. It was originally commissioned and developed with the support of the Ensemble Studio Theatre/Sloan Project. Further development was made possible by a grant from the Drama League Director's Project's New Directors/New Works Program, a residency at Abrons Arts Center and by a 2002 residency at Yaddo. It has been additionally developed through readings or workshops at the Women's Project, New York Theatre Workshop, Location One, Ensemble Studio Theatre and New Georges.
The production at 3LD was supported
in part by public funds from the NYC Department of
Cultural Affairs, the New York State Council on the
Arts, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, the Greenwall
Foundation and Meet the Composer. Sponsorship
by Yamaha, Bluetooth SIG and Other Minds.
