Join us this Friday, July 26, 7:30 p.m. for a lively, comedic spoken word event: Crossing the Line in the Cranial Sand – Words that Bully, Amuse & Interconsonate.
We had a great visit several months ago from Tom Cassidy, coded language expert and slam poetry artist and multi-faceted genius.
If you had the chance to stop by that night you would have been privy to all sorts of amusement!
Here's a quick link to our podcast of the event if you haven't had a chance to hear it!
So, when Tom sent us a note about an upcoming evening of excitement and insanity, we jumped at the chance!
***
Spoken word artists Tom Cassidy and Mr. Thursday (from Roanoke, VA) perform nontraditional and stand-up poetries about art, Neptune, and flaming poodles. Mr. Thursday, a teacher and a coordinator of Roanoke’s Annual Marginal Arts Festival, and Cassidy, who mounted several Dada Spectaculars in Oregon, will also discuss and field questions about pre-flash-mob public art events, found art, and art left to be found.
Mr. Thursday hails from Roanoke, VA. His lectures are derived from different texts and actions, which combine Fluxus, Situationist, and Post-Neo Absurdist techniques. In them he uses props, texts, found material and costume to code a dialogue performed through improv, paroxysms, and loud vocalization. Masculinity, warfare, popular and underground erotica, role-playing, desire and the intersection of these concerns in the exterior world are some of the recently highlighted concerns of these performance lectures.
Tom Cassidy is a spoken word and correspondence artist whose work makes the mundane seem far more important and funnier than it really is. He has been an active participant in the international mail-art community since the early 1970s and his works have appeared wherever the envelopes were opened. A former board member and series host (Access to Art) for the Minneapolis Television Network, he currently serves on the boards of both Cheap Theatre and Patrick’s Cabaret and regularly performs hither and yon.
If you're in town and you are looking for a night full of incredible madness, join us!
Here is the official facebook invite.
This FRIDAY at 7:30pm!

ReplyDeleteThe greatest male star of classic American cinema Humphrey Bogart net worth began acting in Broadway shows, beginning his career in motion pictures with Up the River (1930) for Fox. Bogart was praised for his work as Duke Mantee in The Petrified Forest (1936), but remained secondary to other actors Warner Bros. cast in lead roles. His breakthrough from supporting roles to stardom came with High Sierra (1941) and The Maltese Falcon (1941), considered one of the first great noir films. Bogart's private detectives, Sam Spade (in The Maltese Falcon) and Phillip Marlowe (in 1946's The Big Sleep), became the models for detectives in other noir films. His most significant romantic lead role was with Ingrid Bergman in Casablanca (1942), which earned him his first nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actor. Bogart and 19-year-old Lauren Bacall fell in love when they filmed To Have and Have Not (1944). Bogart's performances in The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948) and In a Lonely Place (1950) are now considered among his best, although they were not recognized as such when the films were released. He reprised those unsettled, unstable characters as a World War II naval-vessel commander in The Caine Mutiny (1954), which was a critical and commercial hit and earned him another Best Actor nomination. As a cantankerous river steam launch skipper with Katharine Hepburn's missionary in the World War I adventure The African Queen (1951), Bogart received the Academy Award for Best Actor. In his later years, significant roles included The Barefoot Contessa with Ava Gardner and his on-screen competition with William Holden for Audrey Hepburn in Sabrina (1954).
ReplyDeleteHumphrey Bogart is American cultural icon. On August 21, 1946, he recorded his hand- and footprints in cement in a ceremony at Grauman's Chinese Theatre. On February 8, 1960, Bogart was posthumously inducted into the Hollywood Walk of Fame with a motion-picture star at 6322 Hollywood Boulevard.
