Someone asked us recently to trace out the various contributions Pig Iron Company Members and collaborators are offering up during the Live Arts Festival. More than happy to oblige!
The List:
Isabella - well, duh.
Car - Kate Watson-Wallace's new work-in-progress; a dance piece set in a car, featuring Love Unpunished performer Jaamil Kosoko. Get cozy.
Explanatorium - New piece from Headlong Dance Theater, whom Pig Iron has a major crush on. Features David Brick (Love Unpunished choreographer), Nichole Canuso (Flop), and Geoff Sobelle (everything.)
Strawberry Farm - another work in progress, this time from Love Unpunished dancer Makoto Hirano.
Wandering Alice - So - this is a free show, a one-night-only work in progress with a capacity of 24, from Nichole Canuso Dance Company; Mr. Sugg does sound design; Ms. Suli Holum is the co-director. I'd get there early, were I you.
BATCH: An American Batchlor/ette Party Spectacle - Just the usual sexydruggyfunnyweird business from New Paradise Labs, back after being much-missed during last year's Festival.
Hearts of Man - Hell Meets Henry Halfway author Adriano Shaplin brings his company to Philadelphia. Hide the kids.
The Word - All-around super guy Brian Osborne performs in an electrifying one-man show about a evangelist in the '80s. Also directed by Suli Holum.
Martha Graham Cracker - Late Night Cabaret, Friday, August 31. We think it's a bad, bad idea to miss this. It's Martha in her native habitat.
There are a whole slew of other shows in the Fringe that we'd recommend without a second thought: Green Chair Dance; Grace: Kingdom; Sweetie Pie; Fatboy - the list goes on for miles. We know: it's a demanding couple of weeks. Even so, we think you'll have a blast - this year's lineup is one of the finest in recent memory.
