If you like this, you've got to take a look at Czech filmaker Jan Švankmajer's short films, which we watched at the Kick-Off for TRaC in the fall of 2007. (You HAVE to watch MEAT LOVE. It's the best!)

Neo-Futurism at High 5 World HQ

No, we're not done yet....

How about 15 plays in 30 minutes to blow out the spring and usher in the summer?

Next Wednesday, May 21st, starting at 5pm, High 5 welcomes the NEW YORK NEO-FUTURISTS to our world HQ for our first ever in-house production.

In their signature show Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind, the Neo-Futurists, a wild bunch of performers/writers/directors, bring you a theater experience that is "a fusion of sport, poetry, and living-newspaper." At the Krane Theater in the East Village every Friday and Saturday night at 10:30, people roll the dice to determine how much they pay, a new name is slapped on their shirt and they enter the world of neo-futurism. With a "menu" of 30 plays in hand, every 2 minutes you shout and scream for the title of the play you'd like to see. Some are serious, some funny, sometimes people get sprayed with water. And at the end, if all 30 plays are completed before the timer runs out.... pizza for everyone. Isn't that beautiful??

What is neo-futurism, you ask? In a nutshell:

• You are who you are.
• You are where you are.
• You are doing what you are doing.
• The time is now.

I have no idea what that means. But believe me, it's going to be cool. 15 plays in 30 minutes!

There'll be food, of course. We'll bring the pizza. You bring yourself. Friends and family are welcome, too, if you want to bring'em. We'll also bring you the High 5 battleplan for the summer - Pizza and Movie Nights, Summer TRaC, FUZE events..... lots to jump into. All FREE.

Email ERIC if you are coming to the FINALE! Let me know approximately how many guests will be tagging along. (I need to plan for pizza.)

Officially, summer is about to begin......

FUZE this Friday

Opportunity strikes. And the dancers might, too.

High 5 hosts a FUZE event this Friday with STREB S.L.A.M. Show. What that means: Bring a friend, see the show, meet the choreographer. Here's a clip from one of their previous shows....



Dance and Multi TRaC have already been. Check out their blogs for info and pictures. If anyone wants a ticket, I have a few available.

7pm in Williamsburg. Brooklyn, baby.

Just email me.
