Multimedia Art Show Synesthesia Explores Process of Inspriation
- Full Price:
- $10.00
- Our Price:
- $5.00
Where do ideas come from? How is the artistic process born? The multimedia show Synesthesia tries to tackle those questions with a game of "creative telephone.", in which eight artists working in different genres work together to inspire each other. The first artist was asked to select a fortune cookie and given two weeks to create a piece based on the fortune. The next artist will see that creation and then must design his own pieces, and so on, until this show, which will be an evening of their work performed live, in sequence, providing a unique glimpse into the creative minds of these gifted artists.

Words do not come close to expressing how much I enjoyed this inventive and entertaining adaptation. I was completely charmed and delighted by every aspect of this production. From the movement to the acting, music, and scenic design. Completely disarming and enchanting. Kudos to Tina Kronis and her talented company.Written on Oct 18 2010

Anton's Uncles was a really good adaptation of Uncle Vonya. It was random, funny, and also included some audience participation. The dancing was classic and even had a duet that was harmonized well. I would defiantly recommend Anton's Uncles to anyone who love's music, dancing and comedy. You don't even have to love theater to love this production. It was very entertaining.Written on Oct 11 2010

Really inventive, artistic, funny and sophisticated original music and movement. The cast was excellent. I really liked it -- out of the box, but still engaging. the characters are pathetic and sweet and somehow real, the stylized movement/choreography underscores the poignancy and comical aspects, too. very good actors and dancers combined. so polished that they made it look easy. Actually brilliant.Written on Nov 13 2010

Description
Anton's Uncles is a fresh, funny, and physical look at Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya. In this original work, only the men remain, wrestling with their desires and pressed to examine a life unlived. Anton's Uncles is the latest work from Theatre Movement Bazaar (TMB) co-founders, Tina Kronis and Richard Alger. Theatre Movement Bazaar continues its unique remixing of literary classics with this new deconstruction of Anton Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya. The text is a distillation of the original with new material added. The movement score emphasizes the unspoken, unseen and unexpressed for a fresh and physical impression of Chekhov’s classic.
Anton's Uncles was honored to be one of three productions invited to the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival national event in Washington, D.C. in April, 2010. This new work from TMB co-founders Tina Kronis and Richard Alger and was originally produced by Los Angeles City College Theatre Academy. This special engagement of Anton's Uncles is part of a continuing celebration of the 150th anniversary of Anton Chekhov’s birth.
