Did you miss last week’s Anne Marie Mulgrew dance performance, “From Here to Seattle”?

Here’s a little video from the Anne Marie Mulgrew crew to comfort you:

 

CityPaper also reviewed the performance.

“Gentle and introspective, Mulgrew does not clamor for attention — she leaves it up to her audience to savor the soft movements she creates for her troupe.” – Janet Anderson

White Pines Productions and Andrew Simonet visit the Neighborhood House with concern for artists

Andrew Simonet, of Headlong Dance Theater joins us at the Neighborhood House to discuss why artists are poor and why they shouldn’t be.

It was a wave of emotion for all participants, most of them artists, who spend 100+ hours making art every month and don’t have much in the bank account to show for it. Andrew bullet points tendencies that are BAD for artistic practice and skill sets that artists have that are GOOD for the artistic community.

You can watch part of the discussion on UStream.

May 11 – Lyceum 3 – Andrew Simonet – 7:30 pm

Should art be sold?, or Why Artists Are Broke But Shouldn’t Be

Join Andrew Simonet for dialogue and some doing around the question of art and money.  This interactive talk will look at such American Mysteries as: how much does it cost to make a dance?  Why are so many artists broke?  And if they’re broke, why do “artist-loft condos” cost so much money? For more info, visit the White Pines Productions website.

CURRENTLY: Theatre Exile Presents – “A Behanding in Spokane” by Martin McDonagh

From April 19th through May 13th at the Neighborhood House

A mysterious stranger is on the hunt for his missing appendage and two bungling crooks along with one devious hotel receptionist are caught up in his dangerous machinations. Carmichael (think Captain Ahab meets Dennis Hopper) brings us into his obsessive search for what has been missing from his life since childhood. Another dazzlingly macabre tale from McDonagh, Behanding slices open the roots of fanaticism and lays open the need to be “whole” again and the contempt we have for outsiders in a post-9/11 America.

For ticket info, visit the Theatre Exile website or call (215) 218-4022.
