Another Place goes to HERE

A happy announcement!

The Anthropologists' Another Place - which received a staged reading in the 2010 Planet Connections Theatre Festivity - is performing at HERE this week!

What if you could build your own universe and leave your troubles behind - would you do it?  Another Place examines the precarious role of the individual in the age of climate change and asks: does science liberate or destroy us?

Performances are:

Wednesday, April 27 @ 7PM

Thursday, April 28 @ 7PM

Friday, April 29 @ 7PM

Tickets are only $25

 

In the spirit of Planet Connections and eco-friendly theatre, the show was designed with reused and repurposed materials: discarded cardboard, wallpaper, Christmas lights, discarded nut canisters,soda and beers cans, and a sundry assortment of often disposed and underused plastic items, such as water bottles and plastic cutlery – all items that, ordinarily, would have been trashed even without having been used. 

We hope you'll check out a performance this week and see the next phase of Another Place!  Thanks, Planet Connections, for giving us our first place!  :)

This production is a part of the Artists Lodge through HEREstay, HERE’s curated rental program, which provides artists with subsidized space and equipment, as well as technical and administrative support.

Resource Alert: FAB Load-Out Event April 9 @ noon - 5PM

Hi everyone - this is a reposting from Materials for the Arts, which is an awesome resource and a friend to many artists, including productions in this year's Planet Connections Theatre Festivity.

This weekend, Fourth Arts Block (FAB) will be hosting their Load-Out event in the East Village. This Saturday from noon to 5pm, head down to 19 East 3rd Street where FAB brings together gently used materials of all sorts from arts organizations throughout the East Village for a community reuse event. Discover treasure amongst what others can’t use or don’t need any more. Recipients of MFTA receive free admission, and general admission is $3 to cover administration costs. Everything you take away, however, is entirely free of charge.

If you are interested in donating, FAB will accept goods this Friday from noon to 7pm. Any donations not taken during the event that fall under our guidelines will be donated to MFTA, so there is sure to be lots of great materials! Please support this wonderful display of community reuse and spread the word!

If you have any questions, please contact Betsy Imershein, Sustainability Consultant of Fourth Arts Block, at 917-364-1110 or betsy@fabnyc.org. 

If you go, let us know what  you find!
