Composer Peter Wise (past Bang on a Can participant) sent us a clip of the beautiful soundscape he has created for Bazaar Productions Work-In-Progress The Waypoint. Below is what he had to say about the clip. The Waypoint soundscape clip.

Here’s a “work-in-progress” glimpse of the sound for the opening scene
of the of The Waypoint.    It opens on the character Tristan who is
just sort of “floating” and watching everything that people do on
earth – some of it fun – some of it horrifying.

Tickets for The Waypoint are EXTREMELY limited. If you haven’t purchased your tickets yet do so NOW!

Cheers

Video Vortex = a weekly installment of our favorite videos from MASS MoCA artists and trailers for upcoming events, plus a few random viral creations as well.

The Waypoint

Since this is a brand spankin’ new Work-In-Progress there is no video for the event. Instead I thought I would entertain you with Wikipedia links to Waypoint, Berkshires, Fringe (theater), and my favorite reincarnation.

Wiki Bonus- Foot!

Dear Yes Men,

Sometimes when I’m feeling really crumby about the way the world works, I think about what you are doing and I smile. Thanks!

If you’re in NYC this Friday, February 5, stop by the opening of Iñigo Manglano-Ovalle’s new show at Max Protech Gallery from 6 – 8 PM.  Called Happiness is a state of inertia, it is inspired by the materials and design of Mies van der Rohe’s unbuilt House with Four Columns (or 50×50 House, 1951), and it  functions as a working fish tank.

If you can’t make it this weekend, its on view through March 27.

Leave a comment with your best caption for this photo from Yes Men Fix The World. On Feb 5 we will pick our favorite and send the lucky, witty wordsmith a Yes Men Fix The World Poster and a pair of tickets to the film screening on Thursday, Feburary 11. Ready…. Set…. caption away!

Cheers,

What do The Waypoint and PB & J have in common? In North Adams next weekend they are both about reincarnation.  Say what?

In conjunction with Saturday’s production of The Waypoint — a play which takes reincarnation as its theme and which began its life as part of the Bazaar Production’s EarlyStages program at the Berkshire Fringe — our neighbor The Porches is offering a special “Get-a-Waypoint” package which includes overnight acomodations, dinner with a special “reincarnation” menu created by Red Lion Inn chef Brian Alberg, two tickets to the performance, and breakfast on Sunday morning.    Read the rest of this entry »
