Masks Emerge from the Cardboard Unconscious Delight

A new semester begins at the National Theatre Institute at the Eugene O’Neill Theatre Centre, where Marya has been teaching since, gulp, 1984, and where Dan and Marya have been teaching mask making for ten years and more as the first workshop of the semester, initiating the students into a time of glorious imagination and risk fail risk again thinking!   This year, Marya and Dan, of the Mystic Paper Beasts, will teach on Monday, 1/23, from 1 – 10 pm, during which some 27 masks will begin to take shape.  They will receive their paint and stories on Thursday 1/26, and their performances on Friday, 1/27.   The Beasts are delighted to once again be on this journey with NTI, Spring 2012.

residencies galore

This winter is full of residencies of dancers and actors, musicians and puppeteers, artists of all ilk, showy and quiet, all working deeply in the glowing space of the Egg.  Chickens and ducks wander by, interested in the activities within the Egg!  Snows are coming, adding a new blanket to the sense of retreat from the normal demands of the day.   Check the calendar to see who is there, and what is what.  Residencies are not open to public visiting nor viewing, unless there is a posting of a public showing.  Classes, on the other hand, are open to all – children, yogis, dancers alike!

 

Beasts Rove!

The Beasts will rove with glee for the Young People’s Hygienic Arts at the Garde Gallery on Saturday, January 28th – midday!   There will be extra masks and costumes to transform small artists into new Beasts!  Come and enjoy the weekend of antic Hygienic arts with the Beasts.

Superhero Clubhouse

Yay!   Check out this link to watch some footage of the latest workshop on the part of ecologically conscious Superhero Clubhouse, a very physical theatre company from NYC which was recently in residence at the Dragon’s Egg.  The clubhouse has many a National Theatre Institute alum working and dreaming, as well as other adept and wild actors of a similar strain!  Here is the link:  filmed by Dan Potter in January, 2012, while the company was in residence.  They will present a wee portion in the upcoming Hygienic Egg at the Hygienic Galleries on March 11, 2012.
