DanceGood.Damnit! as The Creature
THE NAKED CREATURE is a psychedelic sci-fi musical feel-good summer film, performed live with projection by an exciting cast who literally pop out of the screen.

Amidst attacks form mutant flesh eaters and evil forces from the planet MOM-MEE, two scientist heroes perform the most important and radical scientific breakthrough in human history, all in a sensual tropical setting. The battle of nature or nurture, science or soul, comes to a mind-shattering hallucinatory climax in this spectacular live theatrical-film adventure. The Naked Creature takes us to a world where “lunatics” are sane and “normals” are the real monsters.

Film meets theatre, skin meets sin, and you meet The Naked Creature. Filmed in fantastic Flesh-O-Scope

Three really exciting things are happening this Wednesday.

1) Michael Lucid will be doing a live performance and will screen a 7-minute short compilation of "pretty things."

2) After Lucid's performance and screening, we will show The Legend of Leigh Bowery by Charles Atlas. This is highly educational and entertaining documentary about a great artist that set a higher threshold for the world of performance art, costume design, individualism, and overall fierceness...

3) Post-screening costume dance celebration hosted by TOTAL FREEDOM.

In just a few days Darin Klein will showcase Untitled on the roof of eighteen-thirty.

"It was lots of, like, ‘jackals and antelopes on the Serengeti’
and twink bottoms were the antelopes and me and him were the jackals
and we would disembowel the antelopes and eat them and fuck them."

Untitled play for 5 voicesby Darin Klein

Written as a series of emails, cell phone conversations, text messages and paranoid delusions, this is a story about 5 gay men desperate for connection but unsure how to navigate a homosexual superhighway of obstacles that includes electric shock kits, gossip, long-distance longing, and fleeting moments of glimmering hope.

From LA TIMES:

Echo Park's eighteen-thirty hosts rooftop movie night

June 26, 2008

UP ON THE ROOF

The eighteen-thirty is a multipurpose venue that hosts performance art and community-building presentations and lectures. But for the summer, the Echo Park performance space opens its roof and screens films that are a bit headier than your average Cinespia fare, such as Godard films and Japanese cult favorite "Gozu." "We draw in an interesting crowd," says Samuel Vasquez, one of the four eighteen-thirty gallerists. "Lots of local artists, plus whoever wants to watch the movie in a lawn chair and take in the fantastic view of Echo Park and Downtown." Light snacks are available for purchase; this week is Elia Kazan's "A Face in the Crowd," pictured.Doors 8:30 p.m.; screening 9 p.m. Every Wed. 1830 Sunset Blvd., Echo Park. $5. rooftopscreenings.blogspot.com
