Heeeyyy, where the ART.PARTY at?
It’s ART.PARTY, you can cry if you want to…
Who rocks the party that rocks the body? ART.PARTY!
art.party.theater.company…because there’s no such thing as an ART.PARTY foul…
I’ll keep brainstorming!

Ok…not an Art.Party, but still an art party!
This Saturday June 20th, 2009 I will be one of the exhibiting artists at the pARTy in the Park in Norwalk, CT! pARTy is a one day cultural arts festival organized by the Norwalk Arts Commission to showcase and promote local artists and musicians. There will be events like live music, artists’ booths, free yoga and a short-film festival tunnel all day!
I will have a booth exhibiting and selling my handcrafted, original and reconstructed Cosmic deBris clothing designs made from (mostly) recycled materials (also selling designs by Kate Goldwater of AuH2O) at the Oyster Pod (@ the Norwalk Maritime Center) from 12-5pm. Come check it out!!
PS. It’s a REALLY easy ride out from NYC on Metro-North. Take the New Haven line to South Norwalk and walk to the event!! (Or take a cab if you’re that lazy, but hey, if you’re coming from New York, 6 blocks ain’t nothin’ but a chicken wing) Get out of the city and spend a day by the water in bea-utiful CT!
(Ya-yeah local arts!!!)

Hope to see you there!

Sitting in the Theatre de l’Odeon in Paris, which is very oblong- so much so that from the nearest balcony seats to the stage, you miss about half of the action- I was reminded that theatergoing experiences in the “olden days” were as much about seeing the audience as seeing the play. Today, we should go to the theater for the same reason. If you want to just have art wash over you, you can get enough of it on the internet. To go to the theater is to commit to a night out, a celebration as important as a fancy meal or a night bar hopping. We should expect that it will be as fun, exciting and (on some occasions) scary or even ugly.
Another quick note on subverting expectations. The show was a Feydeau farce, and I had described it to people as, “you know, lots of doors”. I got there and the doors were planks on the floor attached to a pully system that made them rise up only when necessary. fantastic. I did want the doors to spin in the air though, which they didn’t do.
score 1, theatre de l’odeon, which says:
The theater, a temporal art, is first and foremost an art of the times, our times. It exists through the encounter between its actors and its audience, the voices that emanate from the stage and the eyes of the spectator. The theater is a space of sharing.
nice.
