<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><i>"<span style="font-size: large;">A delicate and gentle dance</span> through sunny and beautiful fairy tales and
dark and saddening memories. A white dress, tender poetry and sharp
shadows behind a blurry screen guide through trashcan lined alleyways
and roads guarded by linden trees, through wild journeys on public
transport and on silken hot air balloons, through blue skies, to the
Crimean sea and to Paris. They all end in a cemetery. <span style="font-size: large;">Imagery, video
installation and movement are skilfully used to create a sweet
melancholy that shifts between love and sorrow. Beautifully interspersed
between two screens, this is a clever and poetic collage on a touching
short story by Vladimir Nabokov</span> in which parents try to cope with the
loss of their baby."</i></span><br />

It took a minute, but the press has finally arrived and it speaks for itself:<br />
<br />
“…aesthetically entrancing…”<br />
<br />
“…encouraging the imagination…”<br />
<br />
“The effect is hypnotic”<br />
<br />
But wait! There’s more:<br />
<br />
“Matthew Bamberg-Johnson’s interaction with the audience was effortlessly relaxed,<br />
as he leaned into his listeners with confident familiarity and warmth. Listening<br />
to his voice reverberating around the auditorium, the visual focus was on the<br />
projections or the silhouette of his silent wife, played by Genevieve Gearhart, slowly<br />
dancing behind the screen.<br />
<br />
Gearhart is graceful and elegant, with minimal gestural movements delivered<br />
with calm precision and brief moments of bright, wonderfully animated facial<br />
expressions. Her silence produces a disconcerting intensity when she is present,<br />
often seen behind the first screen as if lost in some other world. This separation is<br />
intensified through the tender interactions between the silhouette of Gearhart and<br />
the physical body of her husband. Is she lost to him forever in her grief?<br />
<br />
The mesmerizing nature of both performers, physically and vocally, created an<br />
overly dazzling effect when teamed with the dreamy projections…”<br />
<br />
- Broadway Baby<br />
<br />
Obviously, we’re proud. But don’t just take our word for it. Audiences have been<br />
writing in to tell us how they feel too:<br />
<br />
“An engrossing piece of theatre… I loved it.”<br />
<br />
“Beautiful movement and acting”<br />
<br />
“Very emotive. Well done.”<br />
<br />
“A moving and thought-provoking performance that demonstrates great versatility<br />
for the actors and superb direction, this show will please those familiar with<br />
Nabokov and those discovering his work for the first time.”<br />

<br />
We've hit the mid-festival doldrums, awaiting a media review that will hopefully make people aware of the good work that we're doing, and that will bring audiences in droves. The excitement of the opening has worn off, and the inevitable desperation of the final week has yet to descend- the need to consume, experience, immerse ourselves in everything that this place has to offer.<br />
<br />
We're going up to the mile today to flyer. This show is not a flashy one- there is no song and dance number, and without the projection, much of what we do would just seem weird. Our small venue doesn't have a massive media presence, the "company," such as it is, doesn't have a recognizable brand presence to bring people in without us working for it. And so we do. People here talk a lot about your pitch line- the words that you fling at a passing festival goer that make them select your postcard from among the thousands that they are bombarded with on a daily basis. We're left with the question, "what is the two-second synopsis of our show?"<br />
<br />
Some highlights have been: "Nabokov multimedia story theater!" "World premiere Nabakov adaptation!" "All the way from California to scintillate your senses!", and "here's a shiny postcard with my face on it!"<br />
<br />
The point is, it's tough. But amidst the challenges, glimmers of awesomeness remind us of the other reasons why we're here. <br />
<br />
Participating in a community of international art makers is a unique and priceless gift. The incredible russian dancers of "Mephisto Waltz" aren't coming to LA, nor is the surprisingly touching and magical "Bullet Catch." Even the drek serves a purpose (and there is plenty of that, too.) Each piece serves as a mirror back to us, to our own artmaking, to our own reasons for doing this seemingly futile dance day in and day out. <br />
<br />
And that's comforting. But we'd still like some audience.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01231488413265100750noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8000721456575486307.post-45322649835821849102012-08-06T03:30:00.000-07:002012-08-06T03:30:01.774-07:00Opening Weekend<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The show is up on its feet and looks gorgeous. We've already had some reviewers present who apparently "loved it" but no articles as of yet. Here are some shots from our preview. A new trailer coming soon!!!</span><br />

We
arrived in Scotland a bit ago and have been lucky to find sunshine and
warm(ish) weather! Everything is getting ready and we're in great shape to open
on Saturday. With two projectors, sound, lights, and, of course, our gorgeous
stars, we needed a lot of tech time. Thanks to everyone's dedication we
managed to get a full-team tech-through completed in the kitchen of our hostel!
Thanks Zach, Maura, Katie, Lynne, Harlow and especially Fred for making that
such a pleasant and productive time! Into the space we go tomorrow for final
Q-to-Q. </div>

Big news in the fund-raising world for us: with about 30 more days to go we've reached the half-way point in our funding goal: $3 grand out of $6,000!! It's a big deal. We've still got work to do on that front, but it is encouraging. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
In other news, the show looks gorgeous - and sounds pretty damn good too! We've had a series of excellent rehearsals and I'm feeling very excited about our offering to this year's Fringe. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
Here are some photos taken by Lynne Martens during a recent run-through. Lynne will be designing costumes for us AND joining us as we cross "England's sugary shores" and alight in the land of haggis and tartans. Haggis, by the way, is delicious. Want me to bring you back some?</div>

These little gems are moments that I don't think will make it into the final version of the show, but are too lovely to be lost forever. Enjoy!</div>

There are some changes to be made, some technology to incorporate, and I need to learn a LOT of lines, but I think that we have the beginning of something special here, folks. Be sure to check out the updates that we're posting to the indiegogo page, (http://www.indiegogo.com/godsatthefringe2012) complete with stills and clips from where we are in the process. <br /><br />Thank you all for your interest and support- please do continue to share our journey with anyone who you think might be sympathetic to the cause!<br /><br />More soon,<br /><br />-MatthewAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01231488413265100750noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8000721456575486307.post-37361352036544631722012-06-01T20:37:00.001-07:002012-06-01T20:37:49.466-07:00"What does it mean?!"<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
Can't help but share a little clip from rehearsal today. It's pretty dark (though I'm very impressed with my camera anyhow - it was a very low light situation!) so I'll tell you that Genevieve, Matthew and I are playing with Manuel's footage on a ersatz rear-projection screen. The footage is pretty gorgeous, as is Genevieve. We got a little... entranced. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
Enjoy :) </div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Thanks to CalArts, we are back at it! Edinburgh Fringe 2011 alums Matthew Bamberg-Johnson, Genevieve Gearhart and Alexis Macnab have devised a piece adapted from Nabokov's short story <i>Gods</i>. It's a rich piece, with gorgeous video design by the very talented Manuel Barenboim. </span></div>

piece explores how we communicate when words are not enough. </div>
