On Tuesday, October 6, I will be filming at the DesignPhiladelphia Welcome House as the founders of Semilla Arts Initiative work with CHAD students to create a mixed media installation. On Wednesday, October 7 at 7:00 p.m. my video will be projected onto the Welcome House. During this time the DesignPhiladelphia Kick Off party will be happening – so come check out my work as well as the party!
We just so happen to get tickets to the game the Phillies clinched the NL East! I had never been to an important game like that before. When the Phillies won, fireworks went off as all the players cleared the bench to run on the field and celebrate. The stadium was kept open for about an hour after the game ended to interview the players for the fans. My favorite was Carlos Ruiz who simple said, “We are going to do it again.” You can see the last out of the game on my youtube page.
During the Fringe Festival, I volunteered at the How Philly Moves photo shoot run by photographer and friend JJ Tiziou. While I was there, I participated in the shoot – awesome photo JJ!
This weekend, Information Overload was back for a second showing at Drexel University’s Mandell Theater for the 2008 Philly Fringe Festival. Philadelphia Inquirer’s Merilyn Jackson wrote a review about the piece for Monday, September 9, 2008 paper saying:
Lauren Mandilian choreographed “Information Overload” to first-rate music by John Avarese and Matthew Baker. She also created splendid animation with letters falling like rain down the screen and architecturally dissecting lines. Five dancers did their turns nicely until a fatal error message appeared on the screen. In this dance there were no errors.
Information Overload will be performed at Drexel University’s Mandell Theater for the 2008 Philly Fringe Festival! I will be partnering with Indigenous Pitch in the show we’ve name Manic Swell. Witness the perfect storm of Hip/Hop Theater, Motion Capture Animation, Multimedia Dance and Aerial Stuntwork. You can purchase tickets for Manic Swell on the Fringe website.
p.s. I am also designing visuals for one of the pieces in SHARP Dance Company’s Fringe performance. You can also purchase tickets for Four on 2 on the Fringe website.
Information Overload was mentioned during a presentation by Drexel’s Digital Media professor, Dr. Paul Diefenbach, at the iDMA conference in Philadelphia this past month.
