Hey everybody,
the CBC Winnipeg Comedy Festival likes CRUMBS and decides to have them headline their own show. This is good news for Winnipeg and improv in this city. It also marks some Winnipeg comedy history (as far as we know). It marks the first time that an opening act has been flown in to open up for a local group.
CRUMBS will rock the house on Thursday, March 29th at 10pm at the MTC Warehouse Theatre and will be helped by their wonderfully talented music guy DJ HUNNICUTT. Their opening act is Winston Spear (who is known as the youtube dancer?).
We CRUMBS are excited and hopefully everyone else is excited too.
Improvised voice
So I did this workshop for some School of Music students at the U of M. They are currently working on a project that has them doing a live dubbing of a Guy Maddin Short film (one of his homages to old silent films).
It was some good fun playing with those abstract tools again. We did a lot of looping and repetition, focusing on the images and mood rather than the story or narrative.
They have two performances of this "thing". One is at the School of Music building at the U of M on Wednesday, March 21st at noonish. The other performance is at Bread and Circuses on Thursday, March 29th (which is when CRUMBS is doing a show at the CBC Winnipeg Comedy Festival, so go to the noon show on Wednesday).
The group also included some video manipulation as well as a piano player, a foley/soundtrack artist who plays found objects as instruments and a couple of guys with laptops manipulating the sounds through mics... pretty damn awesome.
