Rob Neill - Co-Artistic Director

Rob has been a Neo-Futurist for over 25 years and lives and works in Manhattan, mostly. In 1995, Rob embarked on the “Roanoke Expedition” of Neo-Futurism to do “Too Much Light” in New York. He did the show then, in Manhattan, for basically two years before he went on to do a bit of Broadway, followed by some other bits on the TV. Then he mainly traveled about the country on a “writing grant” from Heineken—those days are well behind him now.

Grand times Rob has had include:

  • Wrench-ing (& TML-ing) in NYC, Chicago, Texas, Iowa, Wisconsin, Virginia, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Edinburgh

  • crafting Neo-Futurism on various ships on various seas

  • studying in London and catching many shows there

  • touring as a singing pirate

  • traveling to all 50 states with a variety of fascinating folks

  • competing on the Chicago Green Mill team at the National Poetry Slam in Ann Arbor

  • setting the world record for the fastest time as a team to travel to all the NYC Ferry stops

  • tooling about a variety of the cities of the world finding drinks and foods that he thinks are tasty

  • learning about philosophy, russia, blues, poetry, vampires, and rebels in Grinnell

  • snacking on Okonomiyaki with his cousins off an alley in Kyoto

  • and dancing on the top of world as the big band made it swing

And now he is probably doing Neo things, like “The Infinite Wrench”, somewhere, perhaps in NYC, and this site should, most likely, give you some clues.
