Team Rolfes
Pioneering virtual performers, designers, and directors, NYC-based studio Team Rolfesʼ visionary original stage work has been honed through years in the NYC avant garde club and theatre worlds – spanning livestream improvisational comedy, live animation on stage, print design for fashion collections, album covers, and music videos for collaborators including Lady Gaga, Arca, Danny Elfman, Holly Herndon, Danny L Harle, Metallica, Amnesia Scanner, Arca, Nike, and music festivals around the world.
Team Rolfes’ first fully original stage-story, 321Rule, is a culmination of years of pioneering live 3D performance and has been toured around the world. Co-written by spam poet Jacob Bakkila (horse_ebooks, Bear Stearns Bravo), 321Rule stars a rotating cast of musicians as Eris Wonderful, a memory hunter gig worker in a hellish near-future metaverse. It is a manic AV mashup of real-time 3D avatar theatre, metaverse-parody games, and high bpm blasts of each collaborating stars' iconic songs spliced into an original score by Galen Tipton & Count Baldor -- half-sardonic digital slapstick, half-hyperpop scream ballad.
