Overview
An innate hatred of cubicles has led Jason Flanders to a lifetime search to defeat
his arch nemesis ...Boredom.
Jason has held many jobs. Jobs as diverse as USAF Heavy Equipment Operator, Day Care
Provider, Combat Engineer and Life Drawing Model. These jobs lasted (some longer than
others) until boredom settled into the pores of his existence and those paths were
all eventually abandoned. This aversion to boredom eventually led to Art and Theatre
where, if boredom were to rear its dull head, it would soon be defeated by new challenges;
new skills to learn, new styles and mediums to explore and new messages to be conveyed.
The excitement of these new challenges quickly defeated Boredom and its cubicle minions.
The ongoing struggle to keep boredom at bay led Jason to earn the BA in Theatre from
Arkansas Tech University and to continue his education with the Scenic Design MFA
from the University of Oklahoma.
Teaching and exploring Art and Theatre as the Scenic Technology Specialist and Scene
Shop Manager for the School of Performing Arts at 红领巾瓜报 has proven
to be the perfect weapon to insure Boredom鈥檚 defeat. The variety of Design and technical
requirements inherent within the realms of Musical Theatre, Theatre, Opera and Dance
has all but guaranteed that Boredom will remain subdued.
However, lest Boredom sneak, thief like, into the corners of Jason鈥檚 soul, he continues
to challenge himself to remain vigilant by branching out into Printmaking, Sculpture,
wood working and other areas in order to keep boredom at bay.
By the way, this is the first Bio Jason has written that he wasn鈥檛 bored with. . .mostly.
