PORTRAIT trailer!

And here's one of I'm sure many trailers to be made from the exquisite footage we've collected over this rehearsal process. A traveling show, in a non-theater space, adapted from a novel, made with an extraordinary ensemble. Heaven.

Portrait of a Lady is PERFORMING in BB2!

It's been a crazy year working on The Portrait of a Lady at CalArts, but we've got A LOT of great things to show for it. Check out our website at http://exquisitemistake.net/

READ THE FULL REVIEW:

Hôtel de l'Avenir

"The entire city is like a blank piece of paper." Movement, music,  art and
storytelling combine in the dreamlike world of 'Hôtel de  l'Avenir.' Macnab
plays all six of the quirky main characters with great  panache; she's a
'cant-take-your-eyes-off her' kind of actress. Singer  and accordionist,
Josephine of Café Josephine is particularly charming.  There doesn't seem to be
much of a plot, as such but this is part of the  appeal, and the shadow-puppetry
is mesmerising, with biscuits, boats,  balloons, dogs and ghosts soaring above
the breathtaking Paris skyline.  Maybe I'm just an old romantic, but I was swept
off my feet by the  beauty and very French kind of nostalgia of this wonderful
production.
Venue 13, 5 – 20 Aug (Not 8, 15, 16), 2.45pm (3.45pm), £5.00 – £8.00, fpp269.
tw rating 4/5

The reviews are in: Hôtel de l'Avenir is "SPELLBINDING" and "a REAL TREAT"!!!

Woo-hoo! Performances here at the Edinburgh Fringe are well underway and the critics are loving the CalArts Festival Theater shows!!! Here are some of the lovely things they had to say about Hôtel de l'Avenir...


" Hotel de l’Avenir is a Parisian gateway between dreams and reality…"

"...this is a real treat for francophiles, silent movie fans, and hopeless romantics."

"The skills of the three performers are evident in every scene."

"It's all rather spellbinding."

-InformedEdinburgh.co.uk

"Macnab is a talented physical performer and a charming mime..."

Oh how I wish you could all come see the shows. There were many openings yesterday and it was wonderful to taste the juicy and delicious fruits of everyone's labor. They're all so great. Thanks to my CalArts comrades for being awesome and making great work. I'm proud to be among you. And thanks to the folks from the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama and everyone at Venue 13 for being so lovely!

Get your tix!! HERE!
