[NEohioPAL] Interested in an exciting project under development at CPT?

[Mindy Herman]

Cleveland Public Theatre announces an exciting opportunity for artists
to be involved in a unique project!  

What is a city?  Michel de Certeau once said that what appears to be a
city to the outsider is not its architecture but the sedimentation of
its inhabitants' emotional trajectories through time. 

CPT is proud to have Natasha Lushetich, an interdisciplinary artist from
EU, in ArtsLink residence at the theatre.  Natasha has been meeting with
local artists across disciplines to explore some of the topographical,
aesthetic, emotional and philosophical connotations of the word 'city'.
In specific, she asked a number of people to take her on a personal tour
of Cleveland.  On Sunday, November 4th at 6:00pm, Natasha will be
presenting her ideas for a site specific and context specific
multi-sensory performance project that will take place throughout
Cleveland in the summer of 2008.   

Natasha is currently looking for talented area performance artists,
dancers, poets, theatre artists, musicians, spoken word artists, visual
and fine artists, sound designers, filmmakers, composers and visionaries
who are interested in collaborating on this unique performance project
that will take audiences out of the world of traditional theatre and
introduce them to an entirely different illustration of the city of
Cleveland. 

Interested artists and collaborators are invited to join Natasha and
artists currently on-board with the project for a unique chance to meet
her, listen to a resident artist's take on the identity of Cleveland,
offer insights and contribute ideas for the project and ask questions.
Although Natasha will be the driving force behind the project, the group
of artists working together will define the event through this
collaborative creative process. 

Sunday, November 6th
6:00pm
Cleveland Public Theatre
Free and open to the public

If you have any questions about the presentation, please email Mindy
Herman, Communications Director, at mherman at cptonline.org. 

About the artist:  Natasha Lushetich is an interdisciplinary artist with
a background in theatre. Her site-specific and context-specific
performances mix visual, video and performance art with theatre and
theory. After her graduation from East 15 Drama School in London and the
Jacques Lecoq School for Physical Theatre in Paris in 1992, Natasha went
on to create devised work throughout Europe and has since collaborated
with numerous internationally renowned artists and groups across
disciplines such as Jen Michele Bruyere (performance, mixed media,
France), Gritheater (site specific physical theatre, Ther Netherlands),
Nicole Hewitt (experimental film, Great Britain) and Aernout Mik (video
art, The Netherlands).  In 2002, Natasha founded an Amsterdam-based
interdisciplinary group Sub Rosa (lat. intimate, in four eyes) dedicated
to creating one-to-one performances on location. Her work has toured
widely in Europe, Africa, Asia and South America. 

 About ArtsLink:  CEC ARTSLINK is international arts service
organizations, whose programs encourage and support exchange of artists
and cultural managers between the United States and Central Europe,
Russia and Eurasia. They believe that the arts are a society's most
deliberate and complex means of communication, and that artists and
those who work in the arts can help nations overcome long histories of
reciprocal distrust, insularity and conflict.  With solid expertise and
lasting partnerships in 27 countries, CEC ArtsLink promotes
communication and understanding through collaborative, innovative
projects for mutual benefit. CEC was founded in 1962 to enable citizens
of the United States and the Soviet Union to accomplish what their
governments could not - opening doors, sharing ideas and building mutual
trust. In today's transformed and complex world, citizen diplomacy is
still urgently needed.
