Blogologues: Research Task 1

History:

Blogologues were found by two young ladies, Allison Goldberg and Jen Jamula in New York 3 years ago, in 2011's spring. They are a comedy sketch that are influenced by blog posts; basically a performance of a particular blog post of a blog. They are internet performed verbatim. Many people that were graduating out of universities with a theatre degree, all wanted to join in with broadway, however it isn't always possible for everyone to get in. Therefore, Alley and Jen decided to create their own form of theatre, which has taken it's journey to become what is now. A brief timeline show's it's history:

April 2011: The idea of "Blogologues" was thought of while working on "Why Are You On My Train" with the co-creators of it. Alli and Jen.

May 2011:The first ever blogalogue "Blogologues: Sex, Drugs, and Interwebs" went on live at East Village.

June 2011: The creators of Blogologues were invited to a developmental residency at USD to perform a new blogalogue every month.

August 2011: January 2012: They would present different blogologues (two performances in a night) at Under St. Marks.

March 2012: The co-creators of it Alli and Jen hosted a women in comedy event in Austin

April- May 2012: The first project went live at "The Player's Loft" in the west village.

July 2012: Alley/NYC begin the first official sponsor of blogologues.

August 2012: Second project on live

June 2013- July 2013: Their website livelyproduction.org shifts into their own site blogolouges.org

August 2013: Mashable and blogologues work cooperatively and it is classified as "one of the best things to go in NYC"

December 2013: Mashable and blogologues work cooperatively again, and Alley and Jen host a workshop on public speaking at General Assembly.

There are themes within the form of theatre; blogologues, which include:


  • Blogologues technoganza
  • Blogologues health (Kale in me softly)
