DANCES FOR A RECESSION

DANCES FOR A RECESSION
Presented as part of the Cincinnati Fringe Festival ’12
Hanke 1
Over-the-Rhine 

Reviews: CityBeat |

What should dances be in a recession? Intimate, cozy, conversational, with a profound payoff to remind you that dance matters. No fluff, no frills, no additives: just dance that is stripped down and vital. What’s left? — the magic and vigor of human bodies and human stories. These dances will warmly invite you in, leave you gasping with laughter and sorrow, and will sneak in a little philosophical epiphany along the way. This show fully embraces its own contradictions: it is risky, yet warm and inviting; lighthearted, yet sorrowful; hilarious, yet intellectually challenging. Scrappy dance for a gutsy hereafter.

CECILY AND GWENDOLYN’S FANTASTICAL CINCINNATI ANTHROPOLOGICAL INQUISITORIAL PROBE

CECILY AND GWENDOLYN’S FANTASTICAL CINCINNATI ANTHROPOLOGICAL INQUISITORIAL PROBE
Presented as part of the Cincinnati Fringe Festival ’12
1425 Main
Over-the-Rhine 

Reviews: CityBeat | Enquirer |

The Fantastical… is an ongoing, ever-evolving, theater/social science experiment. Cecily Marlborough and Gwendolyn Hamm are time-traveling Victorian Social Anthropologists. Finishing their sure-to-be-definitive study, “A history of human cultures — from nascent tool makers to the baffling architects of their own, seemingly inevitable, doom –” they gather vital, missing data on 21st Century American Culture by conducting anthropological field studies/experiments on willingly gathered test subjects. Turning a slightly wacky Victorian lens on the unexamined aspects of our everyday lives, The Fantastical generates discoveries, conversations, super goofiness and an instant community in a room initially filled with strangers.

Reviews: CityBeat | Enquirer | Behind the Curtain | Cincinnati Examiner |

The autobiographical solo show of a Vietnam-era draftee who fights against the military bureaucracy for his right to organize his fellow GIs against the war. “Petrick’s smooth writing and linear flow makes his story super-engaging and yes, very funny.” -Winnipeg Uptown. “It’s a dazzling display with a self-deprecating honesty.” -Kings River Life. “It’s an engaging tale, often funny…Petrick’s writing is strong…valuable as a piece of history in a time when for much of the population, Vietnam is just a vague, long-ago event.” -Fresno Bee “…relevant and real” -Culture Vulture Victoria “Fascinating… engaging.” -CBC

BOMBUS AND BERRYLINNE, OR THE BUMBLEBEE AND THE HUMMINGBIRD

BOMBUS AND BERRYLINNE, OR THE BUMBLEBEE AND THE HUMMINGBIRD

Follow the adventures of a hummingbird and a bumblebee named Bombus and Berrylinne. A show created by mashing together stories brought to Four Humors by people of all ages. People as young as two saw pictures of the characters and wrote stories that will then inspire the show. What crazy adventures will these characters find themselves in? Can you tell which parts were written by a two year old? When we are playing, does it really matter how old we are?
