Eun Jung Choi
Eun Jung Choi
2011/2012 LAB Fellow

Eun Jung Choi (All My Socks Have Holes, 2010 Live Arts Festival) will be presenting a part of a new exploratory project from her LAB Fellowship research. The project attempts at refining the concept of "magic" as it relates to our imagination, perception, knowledge, false information, advancement of knowledge, illusion, both revelation and creation of mysteries and memories. The dance was created with John Luna, Bronwen MacArthur, Scott McPheeters, and Guillermo Ortega Tanus.

Flicker
Bethany Formica

Bethany Formica (Decadere, 2010 Live Arts Festival) will present an excerpt from her work-in-progress, FLICKER.
Shadows flicker on the walls. Memories hide in the dark.
FLICKER is an exploration of the transient nature and vulnerablility of life.


Directed by Silvana Cardell. Co-created by Silvana Cardell and Bethany Formica. Performed by Bethany Formica. Music by Zoe Keating, Mama Cass, excerpt from the movie "Bringing Up Baby." Premiere: Aquarius Era Festival of Bulgarian Physical and Visual Theater and Performance, Bourgas, Bulgaria, Oct. 8, 2011.

Here's what happens:
Live Arts Brewery Fellows and guest artists from the region come together to share evolving ideas with one another, and to offer audiences an insider’s preview of their newest work. Second Thursdays are about new ideas, critical discourse, and artistic context through dialogue and showings.

Anything goes at these are casual, intimate gatherings. The artists may perform segments of new work, tell stories about their un-traditional research, or just discuss what they're currently imagining for their upcoming piece. Your feedback and questions throughout are welcomed and encouraged.

These events are free, open to the public, and feature complimentary beer and snacks to boot.
For those of you driving in, there’s free on-site parking as well as abundant neighborhood street parking.
