BLACK TENT PRODUCTIONS COMPANY
BLACK TENT PRODUCTIONS (BTP) is a theatre company that I (Gavion E. Chandler) Andy Salisbury Daniel Mollenkamp, and Kenny Johnson began a few years back.
The concept of the BTP was and is to create art that is driven with purpose and intellectual integrity that has a social sense of conscience... thus the statement...
"Where the arts are driven with purpose and intellectual integrity...to what end!?"
We originally began with the Project of 'Haunts & Mindscapes' a play that challenges and questions the 'human reality' of the 'World-stage' . It is a play of simple questions and a challenge from a fellow student that told me that I could right a play on the principle thought, rather question... 'If we did not have human reality to mirror or shadow on the stage and the consciousness of the stage could exist... what would it be?'
From this principle 'Haunts & Mindscapes' came into being. A simple but complex play.
Then we (AFC) met up with AFC (Abraxas Film Company) and started to prep for 'Cigarette Burn' which will be produced in time. BTP is currently working on a project with AFC, which I am not at liberty to deliberate, because the details are still in the works and promises to be a great learning and growing period for BTP and will create new opportunities that we could never thought possible.
These little events are the beginning sparks of BTP and I have a great crew who just want to do the arts. The objective of BTP is to create art that raises into question the human factor, to make people think and consider those possibilities that are born of a man's potential to do great and terrible things.
BTP also hopes to help inspire and assist other artists to get their works out there,, because that is the toughest part, just finding someone who will offer others the opportunity to take that chance on them. That is why BTP is grateful for Michael Frost and AFC.
This is only the beginning for BTP and any artist worth his or her salt knows that any art endeavor is its own little roller coaster ride with its ups and downs and twists and curves. It is the arts, and security has little to nothing to do with it. It just one hell of a ride and you just hang on and enjoy the trip.
