Watching (IN)STABILITY Feb 6, 2011

Last night was the third time I watched Paul Budraitis performed the project. The first time I watched in OtB 12 MM, the second time in 2009 Artopia. It was fascinating being able to see the different stages of this work being developed over the years.

This show is filled with reflective surfaces, on stage and in the text. Light bounces off aluminum creating atmosphere and focus, the back wall ripples with reflections from a pool (a sewer? Puget Sound?) agitated with pennies and movement. Broken glass absorbs what is thrown at it. The light design of this show is breathtaking (L.B.

It was a remarkable evening! Familiar faces making the rounds...like an art party. Everyone's hepped up and excited about tonight's show and are punting ideas about who will take this evening's vote. Look's like I'm not in the front row tonight...as the seats are rapidly swept up by a phalanx of teenage girls, giddy with excitement!

Did I go home and sleep last night? Time is jello because here I am in my same front row seat and am seeing the same people. It's a bit of a social scene here for A.W.A.R.D show #2 with everyone milling about, having casual conversation. Lights out, show time, people sit. "So You Think You Can Dance" Seattle style, night number two.

A sold out crowd being politely asked to scoot in and take the lone empty seats as the aisles back up.

NWNW Weekend Two & Mainstage Showcase Jun 14, 2010

Writing reviews at the behest of On the Boards usually means I see shows on the opening night. Due to some scheduling surprises, I ended up seeing the Mainstage Showcase on closing night. This was a really warm change. I forgot how festive the audience is, packed with artists from weekend one and how the staff is a bit more loose and fun. Sean Ryan was joyful and exasperated as he gave the final night’s appreciations. My companion and I had now heard them three times already and were able to chant his words to ourselves. (Real Networks, Tim Summers, "Most ambitious season ever") The Mainstage sold out yet again to many congratulations all around. This NWNW Festival definitely has been the best marketed that I have personally seen and I expect that the response this year has set a whole new bar (for both audiences and performers) for the future.
