I’m Michael R. (Robin) Caplan, Renaissance man of the House – publication designer, theatre-maker, writer, and down-home singer.

​

The story? a home base for my own work, and a home-away-from-home for creators with projects in "the House style." 

​

The House style: meaningful content with crossover appeal. House of ShAkE is a common-ground construction project. An ark for real in a sea of unreal. A playhouse for entertaining ideas and each other. A safe space for danger!

 

House of ShAkE is whatever it needs to be, whether major production or modest activity. (Have an idea for a House-style project or a collaboration?) 

House of ShAkE is an inn at the crossroads: traditional forms & virtual futures share space, soulful songs meet strange new sounds, and the physical book & the physical body are celebrated for their enduring truths.

 

Join me and the House’s current Resident Creators – legendary choreographer & master teacher David Earle, unbounded artist & poet Gilles Goyette, and Bill Coleman, cosmic/comic dancer & choreographer. Allies in wonderland! 

 

The House is bigger on the inside than on the outside. Come on in ...
