A Veritable Smorgasbord... by Russ

...orgasbord-orgasbord

For months, SPACE has been housing a select group of local creators as they took their first steps to bring their newest works to life. And now, finally, it's time to show them off as part of this year's NIGHT OF NEW WORKS!

We're so excited to share this veritable smorgasbord of new works-in-progress with everyone so this week we'll give a small recap of each of the pieces. Plus as a special no-cost bonus, just for you, we're throwing in a few (cell phone) snap-shots from this week's tech rehearsals just to whet your appetite ;)

But wait! There's more! Scroll to the bottom to get info on this month's ARTshare offerings!

the sleeping beauty in the wood
By collective unconscious performance

Cursed at birth by an evil fairy, Beauty is destined to prick her finger and sleep for 100 years at the age of 16.
But what were the dreams that Sleeping Beauty had before she woke up? Through her active dream-life, Beauty's fairy tale past is unspun from the deeply familiar and woven a-new, as she experiences
​love, loss, and the possibility of a waking life.

Lydie, or Now That I Have Your Attention
By Harrison David Rivers

Let's say you're a little tipsy. Or possibly a lot tipsy. And let's say someone hands you a microphone. What do you say? Or more importantly: What do you say that you shouldn't? Lydie is an in-your-face, no-holds-barred experiment in truth-telling. I mean, storytelling. I mean... Well, you get the idea.
