Sep 21, 2008: Chuck and Ginger: Thawed for Your Pleasure at Wings Theater
Chuck and Ginger Babcock are back with their hit musical comedy 'Thawed for Your Pleasure!' At the height of their careers Chuck and Ginger, entertainers extraordinaire, were frozen in the Lucky Stiff Cigarette Time Capsule. Although out of the public eye for over 50 years, Chuck and Ginger Babcock, with their velvet voices and sassy repartee continued to live in our hearts. Unexpectedly, the Lucky Stiff Cigarettes Time Capsule went bankrupt in 2008 and The Babcocks were unceremoniously thawed and left on the streets of New York, with only their song book, their snappy wit and a case of gin. 'Chuck and Ginger: Thawed For Your Pleasure' is about a couple's rebirth into a society that has changed from whence they came.

Sep 4, 2008: Andrew Dinwiddie's the Accursed Items at Ontological-Hysteric Theater at St Marks Church
In 'The Accursed Items,' choreographer Andrew Dinwiddie reanimates the work of other dance and theater artists as discovered in a particular kind of accursed item: deleted scenes and rehearsal videos from never-used and drastically reworked dances. Allternately austere and rambunctious, 'The Accursed Items' draws from material that was not quite good enough for The Wooster Group, Big Dance Theater, Metallica and others. Anchored by text from J. Robert Lennon exposing the lingering psychic life of objects, The Accursed Items is a sympathy card for everything that was never good enough.

Sep 13, 2008: Amir Ziv's KOTKOT at Abrons Arts Center
September 13th, 8pm, $15
Abrons Arts Center
466 Grand Street NY NY
tickets: www.theatermania.com
KOTKOT is Amir Ziv (drums) with Marc Ribot (guitar), Cyro Baptista (perc) & Shahzad Ismaily (bass).
Tonight they'll be celebrating the release of their debut record Alive At Tonic.
"Whether squeezing out long, friction-defying hi-hat Morse codes, dropping weird bombs to huge effect, or creating fabulously meaningful rhythmic tapestries...Ziv impresses with his controlled limb-work and out-of-control imagination." Adam Budofsky - Modern Drummer. Arriving in America in 1990 from his native land of Israel, Amir Ziv arose as one of the country's most forward-thinking & visionary drummers; setting deep marks in both the Nu-Jazz and the "live" electronica scenes. Amir's innovative work with his band Droid, his sideman credits ranging from Sean Lennon and Trey Anastasio to Beat the Donkey and Medeski Martin and Wood, and his educator status which includes eight years on the prestigious New School Jazz Faculty and master classes around the globe has brought recent demand for his musical skills the world over. KOTKOT blends the band members American, Brazilian, Pakistani and Israeli musical influences in an improvisational setting. A sort of hellish world-surf-jazz.

Sep 3, 2008: Head Games Dress Candy at gallery hanahou
Head Games Dress Candy
a collaborative exhibit of sculpture and jewelry
by Sara Singh and Arlene Guerra
September 3 - October 7 2008
Opening reception sponsored by Svedka Vodka and Lure (lurefishbar.com)
September 3 (Wed) 6-9 pm
RSVP info@galleryhanahou.com to attend
gallery hanahou
611 Broadway, Suite 730, NYC
galleryhanahou.com
Fashion illustrator Sara Singh and jewelry designer and creator of P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing) Arlene Guerra are ushering in New York Fashion Week this September with a joint exhibit of sculpture and jewelry that plays with concepts of innocence and character.
With silhouettes of male and female busts carved from plywood, Singh comments on the vanity and secrecy of the surfaces we present to each other. Complementing Singh's organic sculptures is Guerra's new collection of exaggerated, candy-colored jewelry, which blurs the line between the dress-up games of children and the adult dress-up game called fashion.
Please join the artists for the opening reception on Wednesday, September 3, 6-9 pm.
(RSVP info@galleryhanahou.com to attend.)
Sara Singh (www.sarasingh.com) is known for her watercolors of cool, beautiful women, and she has worked with clients worldwide, including Vogue, Elle, Keds, MAC Cosmetics, and Mikimoto. Arlene Guerra (www.pytjewelry.com) has developed her own “cartoon chic” style in her jewelry, and her designs have been featured in Glamour, Harper’s Bazaar, Teen Vogue, and WWD.
Show Details
Sara Singh, whose watercolor illustrations of cool, beautiful women appear in Vogue and Elle and in connection with brands such as Keds, MAC Cosmetics, and Mikimoto, has done something completely different for Head Games Dress Candy: she has created a series of silhouettes of male and female heads hand cut from plywood. Her drawings translate remarkably well into wood. “I had originally meant to produce them in Plexiglas,” Singh says, “but when I began sawing prototypes out of plywood, I found that the wood grain gave the flat surfaces life and an almost human quality. ” As she sawed and sanded each nose, she says she felt a bit like Geppetto carving and blowing life into Pinocchio. The finely grained wood silhouettes, with their beautiful surface and natural opacity, are a comment on how we present ourselves: how identity can be like a game of hide and seek in which we hold back as much as we reveal. Fragments of sentences complement the silent busts. “Right now the heads line the walls of my studio, Singh says, adding, “When I come in in the morning there’s sometimes the strange feeling they’ve been talking amongst themselves all night.”
Arlene Guerra, creator of P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing) is showing her new collection of deliciously candy-colored jewelry. Guerra says, “Life is one big dress up session. I love the juxtaposition of an adult wearing childlike accessories - pieces that make you feel like you’re playing dress up in your mom’s closet again.” In order to communicate this play on innocence with the characters of Singh’s sculptures, Guerra has translated this feeling into pieces that have a childlike appearance, but with a very adult angle. She has created exaggerated neckpieces, earrings, and rings done in plastic/resin and has incorporated mediums like glitter and Swarovski crystals. These materials and colors are intended to evoke the emotions once felt as a child: the excitement of candy, playtime, and the freedom to escape into a character.
