Have Another #7 Pictures

Wednesday, August 17, 2011 2 comments

(Don't you want to Have Another with these peeps? Photo: Alisha Spielmann)
Our seventh Have Another was a particularly joyous affair, feeling as it did like an echo of the happiness of the Retreat. With our usual photographer Isaiah Tanenbaum unfortunately absent, we turned to the mighty lens of Alisha Spielmann, who also somehow found time to turn in a moving performance as Telly in Erin Browne's Projects.

If you were there, what are your favorite memories of the event?

Oh, Wendell of Brian Pracht's play, Wendell Wants. You want so much...money, Sadie, your parents to stop humiliating you at the dinner table...

Happiness isn't always a warm gun. Sometimes, it's a narrow bed and a newfound love.

I can only hope watching the dinner table scene from Projects by Erin Browne was as much fun as being in the scene. I could sit at the table with those people all night long.

Should Cotton, playing Rene, tell the story of Justin and her honey hand?
(Photo: Alisha Spielmann. Pictured: Cotton Wright)
Yes, yes she should.

What's that you say? Hankering for the picture of a rainbow-neck deer? Hanker no longer.

Sister, brother.

We smiled for the camera...and closed the party down.

No, this is not a play about a mosh pit. Devil Dog Six is about horse racing, can't you tell?

Love is in the air for Devon and Fonner...but not everyone approves.

If given a choice between messing with Texas or missing with Tiffany, choose Texas.

Hey, kid. Ever see a girl transform into a horse before?

In Deinde, evolving beyond humanity sometimes makes you feel sad.

Othertimes, it makes you feel angry.

Very angry.

On the plus side, you will greatly enjoy music that moves in four infinite directions...

Throw your hands in the air, and wave them around if you know what's good for you (and shout Viva Fidel while you're at it).

Wouldn't you pray with Rosalva? (Pablo won't).

From Lipstick and Wrenches, Jeff Lewonczyk's Sweet Lungs steals sharks, a shade of lipstick, virile orchids, reincarnating divinity, and the name Lulu. From Sweet Lungs, Katherine Burger's Low Tide steals a bloodcurdling scream, a priest, a rowboat, a wharf, a line and a possibly indifferent God. From Low Tide, Rob Ackerman's Human Resources steals a full moon, fear of death, and a line (and he stole from Pretty Theft an unexpectedly good kiss and lipstick!)

Poetic Larceny Artists Reveal #7 -- Matthew Murumba

Wednesday, April 1, 2009 0 comments

What is Poetic Larceny?

And how can I learn more about Flux's upcoming production of Pretty Theft?

MATTHEW MURUMBA

Actor, April 6th

Previous Flux stuff: Our wonderful Starveling in A Midsummer Night's Dream, and a Flux Sunday invited artist

We asked the amazing artists of our upcoming staged reading series Poetic Larceny to answer some questions about stealing, beauty, and consequences. Read on for their answers!

Question #1: What is the worst thing you've ever stolen?
It would be a embarrassing for me to say because I'm not one of those dark and mysterious bad boy types (ok maybe the dark part applies) so it would be something like my roommates toothpaste and that's pretty friggin lame. So good thing I didn't answer that question.

Question #2: What is the worst thing that's been stolen from you?
Tim Tams...the best cookie on the face of the planet... literally ... they happen to be from Australian and I am from Australia so maybe I'm biased but they also HAPPEN TO BE FRIGGIN AMAZING! I order them by the box (no joke) and if you ever in your life have one...you will understand why I do such a ridiculous thing like order cookies in bulk...and why they are the worst thing that's ever been stolen from me!

Question #3: What do you find pretty?
I don't know...sunsets...stars at night...crap like that

Question #4: What do you find beautiful?
Argentineans. the first and only girl I've ever asked to marry me was an Argentinean exchange student during my junior year of high school. She was in new york for a total of like two weeks by the way...I'm still holding out hope for some good news on that one (in the words of Jim Carrey in the critically acclaimed film Dumb and Dumber..."so you're sayin there's a chance!")

Question #5: If you could steal something beautiful without consequences, what would it be?
Probably said Argentinean from question 4

Bio:

Matthew was born in Melbourne, Australia to two refugees from Uganda and has live in NYC since he was ten. In addition to working with Flux on various projects (he loves Flux), Matthew is proud to be a member of Stage 13, a theater/film company that has a project Hysterical Psycho premiering at the 2009 Tribeca Film Festival, the Bat Theater Company (at the Flea Theater) and a founding member of Larrikin Productions.
