Micro-Fest: LA

One Festival – 3 Cities.

From October 2010 through January 2011, the Network of Ensemble Theaters
(NET) is hosting a triptych of "Micro-Festivals" across the
United States designed to build a national conversation around ensemble
theatermaking. Presented in partnership with the Literary Managers and
Dramaturgs of the Americas (LMDA), these 2 and half-day "Micro-Fests"
highlight ensemble performances and practices, each centering on a
specific theme.

Micro-Fest:LA will investigate how ensembles are creating new work.
Activities will be centered at the Atwater Village Theater in Los
Angeles, December 3-5, 2010.

Guest Curator Steven Leigh Morris, theater Critic-at-Large for the LA

ARMIN Rohde is breathless. Not from his fencing lesson -- preparation for a stage performance of Cyrano de Bergerac -- but out of anger.

"What is happening to our cultural landscape?" fumes the 55-year-old, one of Germany's best-known character actors.

"Europe was different . . . exactly because we had theatres in every town, the best art collections, a sense of history and performance. And now what? We're shutting it all down to save the equivalent of a kid's pocket money!"

Cool story from Art Daily.

LONDON.- The EyeWriter (http://www.eyewriter.org/) has Friday 12 March 2010, been chosen as the winner of the first FutureEverything Award, a £10,000 prize set up by FutureEverything to celebrate the creative imagination that will shape our future.

The EyeWriter is a pair of low-cost eye-tracking glasses that allow artists and graffiti writers with paralysis to draw using only their eyes. Inspired by Tony Quan, a graffiti writer, social activist and publisher who was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (AML) in 2003, The EyeWriter is the result of a collaboration with five other artists and a production company. It is an ongoing project to empower people suffering from degenerative neuromuscular diseases with creative technologies.

THIS IS SO COOL!

Listen to the sounds of London.

I don't mean just music. Street sounds, all kinds of documentation.

Real everyday life stuff.
