>>>Corky
Seigel's
Chamber Blues
"Gritty Chicago blues and rarefied classical chamber music might not
seem like a match made in heaven --- until you've heard Corky Siegel
bring the two together ... a crowning achievement." - Chicago Tribune
Corky Siegel and PushPush have teamed to bring you a great dinner and
this outrageously fun show at a super price. YOUR TICKET INCLUDES:
vegetarian & meat-lover's minestrone, salad & bread, dessert,
your first beverage, door prizes, $3 beer & wine, and a totally
original musical event!
ABOUT CHAMBER BLUES:
Walking the line between Beethoven and B.B. King and armed with the
creative genius and instrumental prowess that have defined his career
for nearly four decades, Corky Siegel has pioneered an original,
genre-busting chamber blues - a fresh, innovative sound capturing the
sparkling qualities of classical music merged with the emotional
melodic style of blues, all within an intimate chamber setting.
Under Corky's lead, The West End String Quartet and percussionist Frank
Donaldson complete the Chamber Blues band. Described by critics
internationally as: remarkable, astonishing, extraordinary,
mesmerizing, joyous and outrageous, their music has delighted diverse
audiences globally and their genre-defying concerts are drawing new and
old music lovers to places they have never been before.
A major documentary film called White Black and Blues will be out in
theaters this year featuring interviews and performances with Corky
along with other music titans - Bob Dylan, B.B. King, Muddy Waters,
Buddy Guy, Hubert Sumlin, Jack White (of the White Stripes) and more.

>>>Borderline
(the
tour),
a
premiere
play
by
Murray
Mednick
Would
you fight if you're about  to lose
everything important in your life? Or would you deny they depth of the
situation
and
be swept along for the downard
spiral? Craig, a
substitute teacher and secret addict, consults with his only advisor,
an old hipster Rabbi who lives in his Volkswagen down by the mall. A
dangerous and deeply beautiful comedy featuring Eddie Levi Lee, Alex
Van, Tim Habeger, Kris DeVega, Vivi Thai, and Shelby Hofer.
Additional show
dates TBD in
preparation for touring.
>>>WORTH, a video/theater hybrid.
Actress needed, role requires
top-level acting skills and ability to move between characters easily.
Serious
dance/movement skills needed, musicality desired. Challenging sexual
and
political situations involved.
>>>TRICKSTERS TRAVELS, a multi-platform
performance based on
depictions of TRICKSTER. From the Big Bang through outer space and to
his
assignment on Earth, Trickster -- the character known in every culture
and era
by a different name -- sets up shop in a cave in a tiny island in the
middle of
the Ocean. From his headquarters, he travels throughout history and to
every
culture in the world. A born rebel, messenger, prankster, and helper,
Trickster
shows the world where we are all connected -- in the stories we tell.
>>>HOUSE OF YORK/COLUMBUS, an
interactive performance. Looking
for skilled and unskilled performers with interest/knowledge of a
variety of
acting styles. International travel required. Requires advanced
movement skills
and nudity. Performers will create a live-in, site specific world based
on
Shakespeare’s Richard III.
>>>BLACK GLASS,
a
new
script
about
American capitalism, greed
and family values. Serious actors only. A brand new kind of script. If
you have
a tendency to say, "I'm confused" like it's a bad thing, this won't
be for you. A partnership with LA’s Padua Hills Theater.
Attend Artists'
Workouts or email us for more
information.
>>>THE OBJECT GROUP is looking for
performers, especially
actors who create contemporary performance mixing object theater,
tableau
vivant, dynamic visuals, movement, and sound. Under the leadership of
Michael
Haverty, in collaboration with a dedicated group of performers,
devisers, and
designers, the Group’s intent is to release the latent stories of
everyday,
extraordinary objects through precise manipulation and a multi-layered,
dream-like composition. We seek to perform outside traditional
theatrical
spaces, and to create dynamic new models of audience experience and
interaction. That last sentence is an important one.
>>>DESTRUCTION OF THE FOURTH WORLD, a
film/theater hybrid.
60-70 yr old actress needed - text heavy film role. Also needed a 30
year-old
male, married with issues. Vaudeville quick lines and lots of them! Must be available for national travel on
three city tour. Skilled actors only.

developing
serial
work

Actor development. Beginning this fall we are in

actors
for these film projects with a personalized program involving a number
of
national, local and international guest instructors, workshop leaders
and
personal acting coaches, just like the big cities do all the time! For
more
information on how to apply, get involved as a coach, or how to enroll
actors
who will be in films you are producing, email for more specific info. For more information on how to apply, get involved as a
coach, or how to enroll actors who will be in films you are
producing. This is a gold mine.
>>>The PORTABLE SHOW PROJECT.
If you have thoughts of creating a small,
tour-able show with minimal
tech needs and a small cast or solo performer, this is for you. Each
month,
PushPush will host a national or international performer's workshop and
performance to help Atlanta
artists create their own original show FOR EXPORT! A much-needed
opportunity. We hope you will get involved, and support the effort.
>>>Training
Supplements: Along with the variety of production
opportunities New Street Arts will also host a wide range of
professional workshops designed to improve real life skills in film and
theater.
