EVENTS




Foam machine- How to make your own
http://www.mit.edu/people/ara/howto.html

Tvs installed on top of each other like audio visual mountains. Smiles, eyes, mouths, speaking. Like in Videodrome.

Something inspired by "Easter Glamour Portrait Studio". Part project runway, part top model, part camp and a whole lot of chaos! The themes included bright colors, oversized flowers, clashing patterns...the works. Once participants 'looks' are assembled, they are photographed one by one in front of one of the several backdrops (including a pit of feathers, fake grass with real mushroom scattered on it, hologram and butterfly backdrops...).


THE MAGIC THEATRE.
THE THEATRE OF ?
A Freeeeeeak out.

What is the magic theatre?

It is a warehouse space turned installation consisting of various rooms in which participants will encounter art installtions and interactive activities. Time will be allocated for the exploration of the exhibits followed by a main performance. The main act will involve sets by two or three London experimental music acts and will be accompanied by a visual element eg. Projections, dancers or broken up by short skits.

Project Aims
For the artists: The key aim of the project is to bring various London creatives together to collaborate and blur the lines between art, fashion, music and performance. The event will assist in gaining recognition for the work of all artists involved.

For the audience: It is a completely interactive, sensory experience. They are encouraged to explore and play as children do, to submit to their imaginations, to submit to the unexpected… like Alice down the rabbit hole. We hope to break down social barriers.
Tweakers will be set up for certain activities. Tweakers are confident individuals who facilitate the audience’s engagment with the peroformances, as many of them will be highly interactive.

‘Severed torso installation’
The actor is sitting down on a chair but their lower body is disguised by what appears to be a bed and their upper body emerges from a hole in the bed. ‘Guts’ spilling from the torso disguise the area where the torso emerges from the hole in the bed and thus give the illusion that the actor has been cut in half.

Products everywhere. Look around you. How many products do you see. Count them. They are tools to aid you. You know that you must have them. You are always reaching out to them throwing old ones away taking new ones. always the instigator. always the initiator of your special relationship.
now.every once in a while. you have to smash them up..show your appreciation . . . .
respect them as entities of your imagination....
and retaliate.
