Friends--
The Independent Eye is opening our new show HANDS UP! this coming weekend at the Subud Center in Sebastopol, Friday & Saturday Oct. 15-16. We're also playing Friday, Oct. 29, at Occidental Center for the Arts. All shows at 8 p.m.
For all shows, we're in desperate need for people to operate our camcorder. It's a no-budget labor of love, but we need to tape each performance in order to edit a decent DVD for potential festival gigs. For that we need good-quality video, but all our volunteer sources are otherwise engaged.
Of course we'd love to have a skilled professional or at least someone with experience, but if you're (a) not totally terrified of a camcorder, (b) feel you have a good instinct for following the action and framing a shot, and (c) will definitely show up -- then we'd love to talk with you about shooting one of the shows. You'd be using our camcorder, which is good quality but not complicated. We can offer two comps, a copy of the dvd, and a huge surge of gratitude.
HANDS UP! is a medley of nine comic/dramatic sketches about mortality, from the farcical to the grim, featuring 30 puppets, 2 actors, and, I think, a real richness of human spirit -- I'm biased, of course, being one of the writer/actor duo. If you saw our Descent of the Goddess Inanna, Rash Acts, or The Tempest, well, that's us. Check us out on The Independent Eye (https://www.independenteye.org) website.
And if you're interested and possibly available, email us at [email protected].
Peace & joy--
