Ouija Board produced by Ulysses Black as an audience intervactive prop for use within the FoulPlay Halloween Special The Living & The Dead 2010.    A Triangle of Summoning, as featured in medieval demonology contains within it a rooster - the FoulPlay Chick - as both con of the sacrifice, and also conversely, that which is summoned: FoulPlay.    About the edge are four chess knights signifying the four horsemen who appear in every FoulPlay Production. The chans that confine them are broken. Within this show the four horsemen were the four main protagonists, the Necromancer (Ulysses Black) and his brother the eccentric scientist (Merry Colchester), their adopted ward and experimentee, Little Jimmy (Annie Brooks) and his demonic clown animus (Jack Stigner). Variations of this Ouija Board will be made available for purchase via the ulyssesblack.com webshop.

Poster by Ulysses Black for Howard Sivills performance Love Musk: The Dawsons Creek Massacre. A challenging bad taste puppet and spoken word performance addressing ideas of the American Dream and the American coming-of-age film/television genre. The poster design was intended to hint at the valuable additions to this genre by John Waters (Cry Baby) and John Hughes (The Breakfast Club). The performance featured (L to R) Ulysses Black, Annie Brooks, Howard Sivills and Sarah X. Delmonte. 2013.
