2011 Fringe Adventure: Day Eight

Fringe performances on Wednesday, June 8th begin at 7pm. The three productions I’m attending tonight are:

7pm at Media Bridges
MUSIC FOR NEWSPAPERS AND RADIOS
MUSIC FOR NEWSPAPERS AND RADIOS is a concert of musical compositions which make use of either newspapers or radios as the generating source of musical sounds, forms and ideas. The program will include three compositions by CCM doctoral candidate Paul Schuette including: NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS, for string quartet, MEDIA COUNTERPOINT, for 2 radios, sine tone generator, piano, electric guitar and suspended cymbals, and TOMORROW?, for 2 male and 2 female actors. The program will also include two piece by John Cage: RADIO MUSIC and WATER WALK.

8:15pm at HANKE 2
TOOTH AND ‘NUCKLE from Matt Johnson and Artistic Compatriots
Part meditation. Part freak out. All righteous theatrical indignation. This improvised treatise is aimed at the intersection of the tooth and the knuckle; when the feeding hand of benevolence spreads its flesh to the mongrel tooth of freedom. Interdisciplinary and insane with a rotating cast this show is never even remotely the same. Make the choice: TOOTH AND ‘NUKCLE? Either way you’ll have blood on your hands.

9:30pm at Neons
FIRE AND LIGHT from Incendium Arts
Incendium Arts is cabaret-style fire entertainment. Dance, object manipulation and flame exhibition combine with an eclectic soundtrack and nerdy abandon to provide an outrageously fun full sensory experience. Incendium’s 35-45 minute, 15 prop shows provide a few solo performances intermingled with 6-7 multi-person, multi-prop, fully choreographed pieces.

Reviews for these three productions will be available on Thursday.
