Dan
Froot and New York puppet theater artist Dan Hurlin create three short
?Äútoy-theater?Äù plays in collaboration with three hungry and homeless
West Hollywood residents. (Toy-theater is a miniaturized form of
puppet-theater performed on tabletop-sized stages.) At the end of the
performance, audience members will be invited to join in a discussion
about the work with the artists, participants and community partners.
Shlammer

A
surreal romp through the worlds of early 20th century Vaudeville and
Jewish gangsterism. In the course of enacting a revisionist Bar
Mitzvah, Froot unwittingly unearths Daddy Kleinman, an old time hoodlum
turned hoofer, who shows him a thing or two about what the ?Äúperformance
of masculinity?Äù really means.
Live Sax Acts

LIVE
SAX ACTS is the umbrella name for the series of celebrated duets by
Bessie Award-winners Dan Froot and David Dorfman, seen throughout the
U.S., Europe and in Europe, Africa and South America. HORN (1990) is a
sweaty, kilt-clad battle of full-contact dance and saxophone playing;
in BULL (1994), intimacies are broadcast through bullhorns and violence
erupts from unexpected places; in JOB (1996) two crazed brokers
desperately trade commodities of love, trust and betrayal; and in WOLF
(2008), protectors transform into predators as Froot and Dorfman (in
and out of wolf masks) officiate at a surrealistic ?Äúcommunity watch?Äù
meeting. |
