TRANSMODERNMANIA! Part Deux

DYNASTY HANDBAG DOES BALTIMORE

Saturday's stage featured Adrienne Anemone, Lauren Bender, Jai Brooks, Katastrophe, Ric Royer and Adam Robinson, DYNASTY HANDBAG (Amy Sedaris meets Peaches), and Blevin Blectum and Kevin Blechdom.

In appearance order:

Lauren Bender interacts with a video of herself in an oreo-eating extravaganza

Baltimore-based Jai Brooks slammed slam poets

A self-proclaimed SNAG (sensitive new-age guy), Katastrophe from San Francisco

Ric Royer and Adam Robinson preform their hilarious "time machine" skit... and I don't throw around the word "hilarious" too much.

Dynasty Handbag doing....what she does.

After a flattering write-up in NY Arts magazine, Dynasty Handbag has solidified her spastic, exhilarated, (often abrasive) act as performance art genius. She told embittered, humorous tales of break-ups and being initiated into fictitious girl-gangs, and spoke and sang over pre-recorded monologues while jerkily contorting her body. It is impossible to take your eyes off her.
She fit in seamlessly among the transmodern performers and will hopefully be convinced to return next year.

Enchanted Forest

Erin's installation was probably the most memorable piece of the evening, making over the Single Carrot Theater space into an alternative dimension, or a portal to another world. With the lights turned down its hard to understand, as the viewer, what you are walking into at first - but then eyes adjust and its clearly an enchanted forest with silver painted birch tree limbs climbing the patterned, silver walls and a large video projection of more trees, and most importantly, a god-like-tree-creature swaying from side to side. If this wasn’t transformation enough, 3 to 4 performers greet you with baskets of dried bean shells and silver rings, welcoming you into their imagined planet.
