Usually I highlight one fund-raiser a week, but due to last minute cancellation, we have a lovely sampling!
NEW YORK
The Nerds Are Back! And They’re Coming in Heels!
Join Brooklyn based performance collective A Collection of Shiny Objects for NERD PROM 2: HEROES ‘N’ HEELS. Celebrating our nerd heroes, if they’re in capes and spandex, or corsets and stilettos or all of the above. Enjoy live music and entertainment, a costume contest, dancing and great raffle prizes.
All proceeds support A Collection of Shiny Objects’ upcoming 2012-13 projects, including QUEERSPAWN, a new play by Mallery Avidon, and DARLING, a new rock/video game/hipster musical, adapted and inspired by Peter Pan and pop culture.
A Collection of Shiny Objects is a performance collective founded and led by Elizabeth Engiish, Jesse Geiger and Nathan Leigh, with a rotating group of collaborators and associate artists. They create live performance to explore the complexity of contemporary society and popular culture, especially representations of gender, sexuality, class and race. They are committed to blending performance disciplines: incorporating theater, music, dance, puppets, multimedia, and the deconstruction of the artifacts of popular culture. Their process is highly collaborative, involving many participating artists and multiple readings, workshops and developmental in-progress presentations. Their goals for open, in-progress showings is to allow audiences to view and respond to the work and continue an artistic dialogue about its content and social meaning.
Please consider making a tax-deductible gift to A Collection of Shiny Objects, via our fiscal sponsor, Fractured Atlas here.
