Roy and Edna Disney/CalArts Theatre and the California Institute of the Arts proudly present REDCAT’s sixth annual New Original Works Festival (NOW). Playing now (pun intended) through August 8, the festival launches interdisciplinary projects which bend traditions and investigate new visions of work for the stage.
The second week of NOW featured Carole Kim w/ Oguri, Alex Cline and Dan Clucas in N1, Carole Kim’s hallucinatory mix of live-feed video and layered projections. The inventive media artist and her collaborators use time and technology to twist the myth of Narcissus, with a visual vocabulary that evokes a dreamlike state in which past and future mysteriously entwine. Also featured was Jennifer The Leopard in Leop Year (No Jamming). The performance art inspired punk collective of Lauren Fisher, Stephanie Hutin, Lana Kim and Marissa Mayer portrays unpredictable artmaker-songwriters whose band, Jennifer The Leopard, aims to fuse feminism and cock-rock into a new genre of post-punk under the guise of an “all-girl band.”
