Gin and It

“What beauty there is in Mr. Farrington’s work.” – Claudia La Rocco, The New York Times

“The interplay between the live and film actors is an elegant kind of dance” “a marvelous technical feat” “VISUALLY ARRESTING, AESTHETICALLY COMPLEX” – Jason Zinoman, The New York Times

CRITICS’ PICK – Backstage

For his next work Reid Farrington’s principle source Alfred Hitchcock’s ‘Rope.’ Again Farrington collaborates with film historians and archivists to bring a classic film to the stage with his own boundary-pushing melding of projected imagery and live drama.

The original movie’s director attempted to transfer the compressed drama of a one-set play into a suspenseful film through the illusion of being shot in one uninterrupted film take. Farrington explores the making of this technical tour-de-force. His video theater work will mirror the technical feats of this daring film experiment.

AGA Spring 2010

“Orchestrated mayhem and the excitement that ensues are the only predictable variables…Try as it may to maintain theatrical composure, always ends up degenerating, or exploding, into an all-out party.” – Flavorpill

Sources confirm that The Wooster Group is excited to guest curate Performance Space 122’s longest-running multi-disciplinary mini-festival and that this spring’s Avant-Garde-Arama! will feature artists who the Group calls upon, in their own words, “sometimes late at night, sometimes when we haven’t seen them in a while, sometimes lonely, sometimes drunk, and sometimes when we’ve just got nothing better to do.”

FRIDAY:

MC: Eric Dyer of Radiohole’s “Outrageous” New Yorker ‘Whatever, Heaven Allows’
Stiven Luka & Jean Coleman
Cynthia Hopkins
Daniel Pettrow
Esra Chelen
Andrew Schneider
Live Music by: Light Asylum

SATURDAY:

MC: Jibz Cameron/Dynasty Handbag the “Crackpot genius” Village Voice
Yvan Greenberg’s Laboratory Theater
Enver Chakartash
Jamie Poskin & Daniel Jackson’s Haptic Response Team
Maurina Lioce
Jim Findlay
Live music by: Kelley McRae

Installation by Shaun Irons & Lauren Petty

*Line up subject to change
Line producer: Mashinka Firunts

With The Wooster Group curating the latest installment of Avant-Garde-Arama! one can expect two evenings of performance shorts and a nightly party that will “simulate the effects of a finely graded hallucinogen on a hyper-intelligent brain” – Ben Brantley The New York Times (on The Wooster Group). Each evening, of course, will be meta-framed by A.G.A! co-founder Salley May’s customary extravagant introduction and welcome.

Founded in 1976, The Wooster Group is an ensemble of artists who, under the direction of Elizabeth LeCompte, make work for theatre, dance, and media. The many young people who intern there and sometimes move into positions in the company have long been their lifeblood. They are often artists in their own right who go on to make their own work. The Wooster Group’s Booty Call Avant-Garde-Arama! will feature some of these folks, people who have been drawn to the Group and in some sense share its artistic spirit.

One of Our Ain

“From the moment she stepped onstage, Sandra had the first night audience eating out of her hand. She shocked them, she made them laugh, and brought them close to tears as she recreated her family life.” – Glasgow Evening Times

“Humorous…harrowing…heartstopping.” – Janey Godley, writer and comedienne

“I was totally captivated – it’s mindblowing” – Carol Laula, award winning Scottish singer/songwriter

A powerful personal testimony, “One of our Ain” is based on true events. The award winning Sandra Brown OBE and former Scotswoman of the Year tells her amazing story of growing up in the small 1950’s Scottish town of Coatbridge- a community profoundly affected by the disappearance of a little girl, Moira Anderson.

In what has been described as groundbreaking theatre, in a unique performance Sandra shares with the audience a superbly evoked portrayal of her childhood, and the pain of confronting her father’s behaviour. Derived from her UK and European bestseller “Where There is Evil” Sandra’s story of how she came to be convinced of her own father’s part in a child’s abduction and murder cannot fail to touch all who see it. The one woman play hurtles from glimpses of humour which are typically Scottish, to gutwrenching revelations that bring gasps.

PRAISE FOR SANDRA’S BOOK “WHERE THERE IS EVIL”:
“Explosive, and evocative. A remarkable story that climbs into your mind and stays there” – Scotland Online

“Sandra Brown’s past has come back to haunt her in an extraordinary way… it rocks many fondly held assumptions about the warmth of working class culture in the 1950’s ” – Sunday Times, UK
