Pecha Kucha Night at Orlando Fringe?

Submitted by ryanprice on Mon, 03/15/2010 - 01:12

I'd like to invite the Fringe community to create something at the outdoor stage. I love the poetry slams, but I think there is more room for showing off creativity. I've been involved with an evening of art, creativity, and great storytelling a few times, and I think the outdoor stage of Fringe will be greatly served by adding a Pecha Kucha event (pa-chalk-chuh).

Huh?

Once upon a time in Tokyo, some designers and architects decided to get together and show off their work. However, some of them were not great presenters... i.e. they gave long and boring slideshows with tons of slides.

Artists love constraints, so they decided to limit themselves to 20 slides that auto-advance every 20 seconds. They called this 20x20 format "pecha kucha", which is Japanese for chit-chat. The format has grown to be incredibly viral, and there are even some copy cat events out there, which are equally amazing.

Wilson Loria's Latest: The Habit

Submitted by ryanprice on Tue, 09/22/2009 - 09:10

'The Habit' opens on September 26 and 27, 2009 at the
Catherine Hickman Theatre in Gulfport, St. Petersburg at 3 PM. See address below please.
Habit wings 72.jpg
As usual, I'd love to see you in the audience. Tickets are available by calling at 727-656-8053. I will gladly send you tickets (in advance, seniors and students at $13 each) by mail. The price is $15 at the door. Let me know if you want them by mail ASAP. Drop me a line or call.

In a daring look at a religious woman facing the crossroads of her life, The Habit guides its audience from the familiar images of docile convent life to a path sprinkled with hints of a more profane one. Meeting a charming young man—more of the scoundrel type—at the hospital where she works as a nurse, she keeps hearing him telling his enchanting and magical stories. Suddenly, in a do-or-die move, she accepts his offer of eloping with him. However, as the play moves on, the audience is not really quite sure if HE is a figment of her imagination, or if SHE is a figment of his. Through music, dance, mime—following Loria’s idea of what theater should be—The Habit portrays, most importantly, a human being’s moment of truth, as everyone in the audience may have experienced at least once in their own lives.

Here's the link to the description of the show:

See you at the theater.
Thank YOU!!!

Ribbon-Cutting Event for Mayor of Orange Avenue

Submitted by ryanprice on Fri, 05/15/2009 - 12:04

Brian Feldman, dully appointed Grand Marshall of Whatever, opened the line for the first night of shows of Albert Pergande's The Mayor of Orange Avenue. The show is based (I don't know how faithfully) on real Orlando people, places, and events, with the evil Central Hospital wanting to take over the whole block, and the sappy little antique shop that seems to have all odds against it.
