CTI MATING GAME -- WRITERS + PRODUCERS

The Mating Game
Joint One Day Seminar

COMMERCIAL THEATER INSTITUTE
PRODUCERS
♥♥♥
NY MUSICAL THEATER FESTIVAL
WRITERS

Friday, September 24th, 2010, 10:00am – 5:00pm

Price: $160/Pre-Registration (Includes Box Lunch)

Direct from The Commercial Theater Institute (CTI) here is advance notice of a brand new CTI course for Friday September 24th – The Mating Game.

The idea is to expose producers to writers and vice versa by creating a day of presentations, one-on-one interaction and group presentations. We will meet at Theatre Row from 10am – 5pm, lunch and the ever-popular networking reception are included in the $160 fee.

Why should you take this seminar, if you are a producer? To improve your understanding of theatre writers’ needs and sensibilities; to refine your project-pitching skills, and to meet a slew of younger musical writers, learn about their projects and perhaps form some partnerships.

We only have room for 36 spots and about 1/3 of them are already spoken for. Please go to our website


http://www.commercialtheaterinstitute.com/game.html



and plan to join us.

Produced with the New York Musical Theatre Festival, the one day program brings together twelve creative teams with thirty-six early career producers to share ideas, explore common interests and learn the fundamentals for forming productive creative relationships. There will be lectures and panel discussions as well as a “mini-project” with producer-writer teams developing “creative pitch” presentations. The day concludes with a networking reception.

Limited to 36 producers/participants.

Price: $160/Pre-Registration (Includes Box Lunch)

The Commercial Theater Institute (CTI)
is the pre-eminent training ground for anyone who wishes to be a professional theater producer. I took their 3-day course and I can attest to the quality of their offerings. This is a great organization to know, and if you want to be a theatrical prooducer, it is vital to take the opportunities they present to learn and to network.

SUBMISSIONS FOR BETWEEN THE SEAS - MEDITERRANEAN THEATER FESTIVAL IN NY

Call for submissions
BETWEEN THE SEAS staged readings



Between the Seas is an initiative that "aims to bring together performing artists of the Mediterranean and Mediterranean diaspora, explore Mediterranean cultural identity -- its historical connections, commonalities and differences -- and share with New York audiences the vibrancy of contemporary Mediterranean cultural production."

In anticipation of the Between The Seas Festival in 2011, Les Manouches is hosting an evening of staged readings, to give NY based artists the opportunity to connect, share their work and interests, and exchange projects and ideas.

The event will take place on Monday October 18th, 6-10 pm at Solas, 232 East 9th street.

Les Manouches is inviting proposals from directors, writers and theater companies for staged readings of:

=>New plays by contemporary Mediterranean playwrights (preferably that have not been staged in NY before);

=>New plays by US-based playwrights that engage in various ways with Mediterranean culture and identity;

=>Short stories by Mediterranean writers that artists are interested in adapting for the stage.

The producers welcome short or full-length plays, as well as scripts still in progress.

Note from Les Manouches:

"Please note: it is the artists' responsibility to put together a team for the reading - we will not be involved in casting and directing the works.

"Please submit: resume, a brief cover letter and a 10-page sample of the script. Deadline: September 20th. Email your materials to:

"lesmanouchestheatre@gmail.com"

Between the Seas is curated by Aktina Stathaki and produced by Les Manouches.

Les Manouches translates as "the Manush" which means "the gypsies" -- with a connection to the Sanskrit meaning "Human Being," according to Wikipedia. It is a theater company focusing on the creation of original works, intercultural collaborations, and on bridging research with performance practice on topics of identity and culture.

The MITF's 2010 Season ran from July 12 - August 1, 2010 at the Beckett Theatre, Theatre Row, 410 W. 42nd Street, NYC; the June Havoc Theatre, 312 W. 36th Street, 1st floor; the Dorothy Strelsin Theatre, 312 W. 36th Street, 1st floor; the Main Stage Theater, 312 W. 36th Street, 4th floor; and the Jewel Box Theater, 312 W. 36th Street, 4th floor.

The Midtown International Theatre Festival, now in its eleventh year, celebrates the diversity of theatre. The MITF welcomes theatrical storytelling across a broad spectrum of genres, forms, identities, cultures, and appetites. The MITF seeks to nurture these new ideas, perspectives, and stories on its stages, with an eye set on guiding these productions toward future success and longevity. The festival, traditionally held in summer, represents a fantastic, often paradoxical, adventurous and intriguing cross-section of the forefront of the theatre world. The MITF proudly hosts production companies from across the country and around the globe, uniting talent in one of the biggest theatre capitals in the world.

Mr. Chatterton created the MITF, a Midtown alternative to other theatre festivals, in 2000 as a way to present the finest off-off Broadway talent in convenience, comfort, and safety. In 2008, the Festival added two 99-seat theatres and inaugurated the Commercial Division for upwardly mobile shows with commercial ambitions. The MITF's artistic emphasis is on the script itself and therefore the Festival requests minimal production values.

28 & 1/2 PLAYS IN 60 25%-NEKKID MINUTES

Having attended another edition last night of TMLMTBGB (Too Much Light Makes The Baby Go Blind) by the NY Neo Futurists, this one with the special title "30 HALF-NEKKID PLAYS IN 60 HALF-NEKKID MINUTES", I stand by my assertion that the NY Neo Futururists have one of the best, most interesting, most innovative, most entertaining shows in NY.

They had energy in abundance. They were funny.

They were a bit chaotic at setting up each new play. As a result, they only put on 28 plays (2 left undone) before the 60 minute timer ran out. They did sell out the house, and as promised, ordered a pizza (as they do whenever they sell-out). So I'll give them a 1/2 play credit for ordering the pizza (on the clock). That makes 28 1/2 plays.

They were not really half-nekkid. Their underwear or shorts, etc, covered more than they'd cover with a polka-dot bikini on any beach , so I can't really agree they were half-nekkid. No topless at all. No bottomless. etc. They could go out in public (at a beach, anyway) with less than what they wore, so I'll only give them credit for 25% nekkidness.

What was disappointing though, was that the plays did not acknowledge the fact that they were not normally dressed. (Well, they got smeared with more liquids on their skin than normal, I suppose.) For a troupe whose manifesto is to acknowledge reality, it was disappointing that no plays seemed to be written for this special occasion: a cast in their underwear. Surely there must be stories that would use their costuming. Surely there must be plays about people wearing very little to connect with the reality of tonight's opportunity.

So, I can't call them half-nekkid plays at all. They were ordinary plays. Actually ordinary plays in denial of what the actors were wearing.

Hence 28 1/2 plays, not 28 1/2 "half-nekkid" plays.

Nevertheless, they were very good ordinary plays -- as good as they ordinarily are. Almost everything they did was interesting, well executed, funny or tragic, and fun. and it was a little extra wacky, given the semi-semi-undress they performed in.

(Note 1 -- Of course, semi = 1/2 , so semi-semi = 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4 = 25%.)

(Note 2 -- It was great fun, still, an opportunity might have been missed; instead of semi-semi... 3 lovely, truly HALF nekkid women, with 3 strapping truly HALF nekkid men playing truly HALF nekkid plays, might well have greatness thrust upon 'em!)

I enjoyed the show very much.

After the show, some members of the cast and audience went running throught the streets in their underwear (or otherwise skimpy clothing). Kind of a half-streak. Fortunately, the weather was perfect, but they seemed a bit straggly as they went off. I hope it went well all the way.

THE NEO FUTURE OF THE NY NEOFUTURISTS

The NY Neo Futurists (NYNF) may be the most interesting, innovative, entertaining, and promising group in NY right now. Each Friday and Saturday, they present 30 plays in 60 minutes (no more than 60, sometimes a bit less; they set a timer), in a show called, "Too Much Light Makes The Baby Go Blind." (aka "TMLMTBGB")

A lot of cheerful chaos reigns. The audience gets a menu of 30 plays, and at "Curtain" the audience shouts out the number of the next play, and in a few seconds the cast has cleared the old play, set up the new one and started a new play, chosen randomly by the first number the cast hears.

The plays are drama and comedy and satire. Sometimes the very brevity of the plays adds its own humor to an otherwise serious piece.

The style is a mashup of sketch comedy, sketch drama and improv. The performers are not only very, very good, but it is a tour-de-force to be able to set up and perform any one of thirty plays at the drop of a title sheet. (The titles of the thirty plays are strung on a clothesline and pulled down as they are called out by the audience.) Moreover, every week a random number of plays (between two and twelve -- the roll of two dice) are removed from the repertoire, with new plays written and prepared to enter the show.

There is a manifesto of principle that guides the structure of the evening. One of the principles is reality. NeoFuturism "advocates the complete awareness and inclusion of the actual world within the theater." Several plays deal with this head-on, stemming from the real lives of the actors; some plays are literally "site-specific," bringing audience members into the show.

Randomness also determines the price. When you arrive, you go to the boxoffice and get a little token that says you are guaranteed a seat, then you go back to the queue. (The nights I came, the theater was almost, but not quite, sold out.) As you make your way into the theater, you roll the dice to determine how much over the base price you need to pay (usually adding up to somewhere between $10 and $15).

The show is crazy, entertaining, and thought provoking. Sometimes it can get over-chaotic, and some plays just don't feel completely realized. One of the newer (I think) members of the troupe, the beautiful Chisa Hutchinson, brings her skill as a grounded (but very free) actress and talented playwright ("She Like Girls," and other plays) to the show. The marriage of skilled playwriting with the highly energetic chaos and structure of the performance, promises to make NYNF potentially the most exciting show in the city.

Indeed, I'd like to see NYNF web streaming all or part of their shows live to the world. I think it would be a sensation. (See, for example, this month's issue (Sep 2010) of FAST COMPANY and the story on "Must See TV: The Web's New Fall Lineup".)

But NYNF does not just do their weekend shows. They also produce full-length plays and special evenings. Just recently they did "The Soup Show," an all naked production.

Coming up in the fall is another "Main Stage" production:

"(un)afraid" ... "
...be afraid... be very afraid...
October/November 2010


And on the 20th and 21st of August, they are doing

"30 Half-Nekkid Plays in
60 Half Nekkid Minutes"

we bare (most of) our selves



It is not clear which half (top, bottom, or middle) of the actors is naked, or whether half the actors are completely naked, or (most likely) whether most of the actors are mostly Nekkid, but wearing some thing... like underwear. Note that, possibly, audience members who are Half-Nekkid may get a discount on the admission price.

The NY Neo Futurists generally perform at the Kraine Theater at 85 East 4th Street.

ENCOUNTERS (IN A NON LUCID STATE)


ENCOUNTERS (IN A NON LUCID STATE)
Rising Sun Performance Company


In most zero budget theater, the first big challenge for the actors is to compensate for the lack of elaborate costumes, sets, and even furniture, by willing everything -- their entire world -- into existence with their imagination. The biggest challenge for directors is to NOT let the actors overcompensate for the void by overacting. (NOTE: Improv, where worlds are created out of nothing in each moment, is great preparation.)

Of the five short plays in ENCOUNTERS (IN A NON LUCID STATE), performed by the Rising Sun Performance Company, the most successful was the genuinely original, fun, and funny RESIDUE, in which a young woman tries to gain control of her dreams. It is played in a series of short-short scenes in-between the other short plays. And it gets funnier as it goes along. It is nicely played by Anastasia Peterson.
