Wayne Bund Alison covered some of this in her Works Opening Night post, but I thought I’d put a fine point on the goodies available at TBA’s interim late night art club. In brief: Off the Menu at the Distillery Row Lounge This space, right across from the auditorium, is currently one of the most […]

Gare St. Lazare Players: Words, Words, Words, Well Acted Words
It must be said that I am both very fond of Samuel Beckett, and that my previous experience seeing Conor Lovett perform has made me quite the fan Gare St. Lazare Players Ireland (GSLP). Given these things, I was still very determined last night to go to Conor Lovett’s first TBA performance , First Love […]

PICA Releases More Tickets to Sold-Out Mike Daisey Show
…which is great, because it was a bummer seeing empty seats on opening night. To buy your tickets, call the box office at 503-224-7422. And even if you can’t snag an advance ticket, day-of tickets are available to all shows—there’s some wiggle room in PICA’s balancing act between ticketholders and passholders. I saw the Daisey […]

Dance… 10. Looks… 10. An Evening with Cédric Andrieux
It can be difficult to cultivate intimacy in the theater. There are so many barriers between an audience and a performer, not the least of which is just the strangeness of a group of people seated in a dark auditorium, facing the stage, separated by distance, and lighting, and that damn fourth wall we’re all […]

Do You Use Technology? Then Don’t Miss Mike Daisey’s The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs.
I have a hard time imagining Mike Daisey‘s The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs won’t be one of the best shows at TBA this year, if not the best show. I know this TBA’s still young, and that there’ll be plenty of good, even great stuff to come—but goddamn. I’ve three or four […]

Review: Ruby Sky Stiler
As you probably know, the 2010 Time-Based Art Festival (TBA:10) officially kicked off last night, and packed was Washington High School— home to the Works (TBA’s late-night performance showcase) and a large chunk of the On Sight (visual art) programming. The big pull of the evening was Japanther’s collaboration with shadow puppeteers Night Shade (check […]

Wooster Group Opening: Delayed!
Due to technical difficulties. According to Twitter, they’re in need of an “Asus Striker Extreme motherboard compatible with Linux Unbuntu.” Totally. So if you have one of those extreme motherthings it might be nice of you to email PICA.
