Our first COIL show just got a rave review from the New York Times’ Claudia La Rocco. Read the Full review.
For those of you still in the market for a New Year’s resolution, here’s a manageable one: Get yourself to the Chocolate Factory and see Kristen Kosmas’s new play, “There There.”
Hello 2013! Our annual COIL Festival starts in two days. We’re getting very excited and wanted to remind you to download the official App of COIL 2013, “Apapp” which is available now for free via the App Store and Google Play. We collaborated with our friends at Contemporary Performance who produced this great App to guide you through January’s multiple festivals.
Just in! PS122 has received a matching challenge of $15,000 from a die hard PS fan, to be realized by December 31st, and so when you donate in the next 48 hours your contribution will in effect be doubled.
As a special incentive for the next two days we are offering all donors $122+ an extra VIP ticket to this year’s retro-futuristic Red and White Party. Every new $300+ donation in the next 48hrs will be eligible for one of two prizes – a VIP table at the Red and White Party (reserved table, 10 people in) OR a weekend for 4-8 at Vallejo (our AD)’s weekend place in upstate NY in a gorgeous renovated barn and / or 2BR cottage (after June 2013).
Opening tonight at the Chocolate Factory, There There is getting an early start on the COIL Festival. There There is a wildly unpredictable theatrical roller coaster about being the completely wrong person in the totally wrong place at the exact wrong time doing all the most wrong things. Get your tickets now.
As part of their residency at the New Museum, Half Straddle are performing a live concert on Thursday. They will be performing selections for the much-anticipated COIL 13 show, Seagull (Thinking of you).
Giarmo’s compositions juxtapose plaintive vocals and piano-based pop with short, repetitive samples programmed into propulsive, rhythmic loops, while Satter’s lyrics combine willfully awkward non sequiturs with accessible and slyly subversive themes of innocent longing and defiant alienation.
