Mike — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 05:50:12 +0000

On Thursday August 13th, WWKSF will be presenting an evening works including a revised and updated (since April!) Hannah Complex, the premiere of two brand spanking new video pieces and a shorter, updated, MemeFactory.

Personnel includes (but is not limited to, and in no particular order): Kate Reilly, Eric Grundhauser, Guy Snover, Matt Kugler, Stephen Bruckert, Karen Lanyi, Patrick Davison, Mike Rugnetta…and a bunch more.

We hope to see you there!

HANNAH COMPLEX
At the center of the evening is The Hannah Complex, a performance for two vocalists, slide show and music. The Hannah Complex is about reality, and the ways in which we, as members of it, are able to interact with and even control it. It sounds complicated, we know, but don’t worry – it involves Hannah Montana. The Hannah Complex explains why it is certain images seek to replicate themselves endlessly, and why some of us are capable of being at once ourselves and also … well … anyone else.

NEW NEWS
A video piece for 5 voices and cut up, filtered text from Spam emails. Including everything from a weatherman to sportscaster and Correspondents in the Field, New News has all the looks of a real broadcast news show and exactly the same amount of meaningless drivel to match.

LOAN WORDS
A video piece for 1 vocalist, visual aid and music. As the world economy gets progressively worse, foreign nations are calling in their debts. Most notably are the words which were loaned to the English language for temporary usage. As we can no longer keep current on payments resulting from the use of such popular words as alcohol, ketchup and zombie… Loan Words offers some suggestions of replacement words for these and other lexical outliers.

MEMEFACTORY
The Memescape changes overnight, and since our last MemeFactory show at 3rd Ward there have been alot of nights. Much has changed, disappeared or been created. This shortened performance doesn’t include an audience participation element (at least not in the same way we did it last time) but will certainly get all those interested up to date in the latest of silly Internet Media Trends.

We’ve been busy!

We’re hard at work on a bunch of new stuff, and polishing up some older work. We have a bunch of upcoming shows which we’ll post about within the next couple days: 3rd Ward, NYU and beyond (maybe even Texas and Canada? Who knows!).

Success!

Thanks again to everyone who made it out to 3rd Ward last night for MemeFactory! We had a ton of fun and we hope you did too. We’re managing, processing and editing all the media today and will probably begin uploading pictures and video tomorrow. For now, feel free to browse our YouTube channel’s favorites for some inter-tainment.

Patrick, Stephen and myself are meeting tonight to do our first full run through. My slideshow is done, and I’ve seen bits of Patrick’s and Stephen’s. It’s going to be really hot. We’ve also engineered a finalé to end all finalés. Everyone get ready to dance.

3W YT Night Postponed

Mike — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 18:10:29 +0000

After a comparison of everyone’s busy schedules, we have decided to postpone our YouTube night @ 3rd Ward one month, to March 24th. See you in March!

Can we call it a Duo Show?

Mike — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 07:59:25 +0000

Patrick and I are going to be applying for the Spring Solo Show @ 3rd Ward. If we get it, we’ll be producing and performing two original works and putting all the finishing touches on Hannah. We’d also put together a few video woks and use the shop to build some podiums and forms to project onto. We think we’re a solidly awesome fit, but its up to the judges.
