So CRUMBS is slowly but surely headed to Rostock, Germany to take part in the G8.
No, Canada has not sent Lee and Steve as representatives to speak on their behalf, though that would be a funny day at the G8 summit. CRUMBS will be performing with Die Gorillas (Berlin) and La Gata (Bogota) as part of a cultural and social awareness element to the whole damn thing.
The G8 summit will have all the "super powers" sittings in rooms sipping expensive coffee and talking about further world domination while hundreds (if not thousands) of people will be protesting in their designated "protest areas". The theme for the shows we will be doing will be mirroring the themes of the G8. Globalization, Climate Change, Developing Nations ect...
This show will be a great leg stretch for improvisational theatre as we will be delving into the world of social politics and perhaps even evoking some thought in some people. Either that or we will be making fun of the easy targets (the fascist dictators of the world) to the left leaning anarchist/hippies that will be watching the show (hopefully).
What is the G8?
Where is Rostock?
Can I go and protest? (german version)
And even more German info
So wish us luck, and let us all hope that we can use the power of comedy for good, and that after this years G8 summit we will finally have peace and the answer to all the world's problems.
Horses?
The Arhona natural horse back riding paradise, the smallest bathroom stalls in the world, Lee and I on horseback.
Now CRUMBS is in Hannover and ready for more shows. We whooped it up in K-Town (Konstanz) and hung out in Mansbach. Mansbach is where the infamous Arhona is located and we were able to refresh oursleves with the country air and the smell of horses.
update in words
so CRUMBS is on tour (you know this)
We are currently in Konstaz (code name K-town or Konstanz-tinople). This place is in the osuth south of Germany. We are enjoying the weather here and looking forward to our show.
We were just in Wurzburg, Regensberg and Nurnberg.
Wurzburg show was with Die Kaktussen. We always have a good show with Nadine and Topi. The show had a concept to it. We walked around town with a camera taking pictures, then loaded them into a computer and had them be the inspirations for the show. The Canadian impression on this town and Germany. The show was packed (and we mean packed to the point where it would be illegal to pack that many people into a room in Canada). Very fun.
Regensberg show was fun too. We did a "match" with Chameleon (spelled correctly?) in another packed room. The show felt a bit like a rock show as the crowd was very loud (in a good way). Regensberg means "rain castle", it didn't rain when we were there and there was no castle...?
Nurnberg show was with 6 auf Kraut. Always nice to visit with Sigi and Romina. they are now old friends. We did a show and had "life cakes" what else is needed? (life cakes are a traditional ginger bread cookie sold in Nurnberg that we are addicted to).
next stop is the natural horse backriding of Arhona.

CRUMBS on the road
As you know, CRUMBS is on the road. This means that we are both excited and bored constantly (and sometimes at the same time). It also means we hardly ever have any privacy or somewhere we can call our own. This isn't a rant of complaints or anything like that, I wouldn't really have it any other way. It is wonderful to tour through countries and meet cool people. It is great to do so many shows in so may new places and work with so many other performers. It is amazing for the opportunity to lead workshops in improv and spread our style of play over here and learn new techniques and tools for us to integrate into our shows as well.
But jeez it sure is boring sometimes...
