I've apparently posted about the phantasmagorical, theatrical dance troupe, Desert Sin, no less than 1, 2, 3, 4 times on here already. And some of you may know I invited them to perform their crystalline "Snow Queen" dance at my 30th birthday party a few years back. This is all to say that I adore them, and that anything they do you can bet I'm buying tickets for. I've been a fan of theirs for 5 years and counting, and always wait with bated breath to see what creations they'll concoct next.
So you can imagine the joy I feel in announcing that their upcoming extravaganza, "Cloud Cuckooland" will be in collaboration with none other than Matthew Freeman, playwright/Jedi/husband. It's the stuff dreams are made of, that's for sure. There will be avian dancers! Puppets! Lavish costumes! Music to swoon to! And a story that will rivet you to your seat, no doubt. Here are some more details, including information about their fundraising efforts. Please consider donating if you can:
Coming soon to New York and beyond:
Slated for Spring 2014, a new HAUNTINGLY BEAUTIFUL production,
“CLOUD CUCKOOLAND”
a love story (and possible tragedy) about escapism, and its inevitable collision with reality.
WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT! It is only through the continued support of our friends, family, and fans that we can make these wonderful shows for you! As you know, there is an awful lot of prep that goes into these larger productions.
We need to raise $5000 to cover the cost for the next several months of rehearsal studio rental, as well as the initial designer, composer, and dancers’ fees.
“Cloud Cuckooland” is an internationally collaborative production rooted in dance with experimental use of digital projections, puppetry, and an entirely original score. Artists on board currently include Los Angeles’ very own Puppet Master Jesse Kingsley of Mystery Bird Puppets, and Emmy award-winning Sound Designer Daniel Colman, New York’s award-winning Playwright Matthew Freeman, Costume Designer Kristin Costa, composers David Kammerer, Damon Ketron, and Australian composer Joe Savage.
A donation of any amount can make a difference. And what’s this? Djahari Clark (Artistic Director of Desert Sin) is a Sponsored Artist with The Field, a not-for-profit organization serving the New York City performing arts community so all donations are tax-deductible. *
All funds raised will go towards the further development and production of “Cloud Cuckooland”. Help us bring another heartbreaking, gorgeous collaboration to life! We know that it is through your gracious support that we thrive. We thank you!
