PUNCH
(NYC’s only consistent puppet slam)
THIS MONTH FEATURES HOSTS DRAMA OF WORKS!!!
PUNCH is a monthly showcase for all things puppet. Curated by Gretchen Van Lente, of Drama of Works. This month features the one-and-only Drama of Works re-viving an old slam piece they haven’t pulled out of the closet for YEARS! We hope you’ll join us for more puppet slam fun!!!
• DRAMA OF WORKS presents their interpretation of David Ives’s hysterically-funny one-act “Words, Words, Words.” Tiny monkey puppets try to write Hamlet, plot mutiny and philosophize about
life in a glass cage. This is one of DOW’s first pieces from
years ago, and they are totally excited to whip it out once more
for your PUNCH enjoyment! [pictured]
PLUS THESE POTENTIAL ACTS:
• MICHELLE BESHAW presents “Acme Chantoosie” with her sister
Deborah. A cavalcade of found objects, physical theatre and
vivid storytelling, this is one you have to see to believe!
• IMAGINATIONEXPLOSION come back to PUNCH for another wacky
piece of abstract puppet madness. Their version of “No Exit”
brought the house down last year – come back for more!!!
• HOWIE LEIFER brings back one of his infamous humanette
puppets. Sing along to the catchy tunes of the Dirty Seamen’s
sea shanties!
• EXPLODING PUPPET PRODUCTIONS [of DIE HARD the puppet musical!
fame] may even show up with one of their shorts…if you’re lucky!
• VARIOUS VIDEOS from one of the most recent O’Neill puppetry
conferences. We’re pleased to have a bunch of films from this
puppet video intensive workshop. Come and check these out for
the first time!

How to Build a Time Machine
Written and Performed by Greg McLaren.
http://www.seabright.info/timemachine.html
As an astrophysicist explains the cosmos
to his audience, he
accidentally builds a time machine.
Searching for the secrets of the future reveals his own past, in this
compelling comic performance won critical acclaim during two sell-out
run at the Edinburgh festival. An irresistibly powerful blend of
science, love and the contents of a garden shed.
Greg McLaren performs, writes and directs his own work and others.
How To Build A Time Machine is his first solo show, it has sold out
in London, Edinburgh, Liverpool and Lahore (Pakistan). He was
responsible for a mass choreographed riot in RIOT PILOT, and for
wiring the audience up to lie detectors for The Robot Show. "Who
does he think he is?" Time Out.
Simple Girl 
Written and performed by Melanie Wilson.
A delicate and eccentric one woman show, fashioned
from idiosyncratic tales, curious movement
and a live soundtrack, featuring a self titled 'simple girl', who is at once mischievous flaneur, epic sentimentalist and grandiose fibber.
Spend a thrilling portion of your evening as a co-conspirator with our girl, enticed to damp London bustops, past Parisian bicycling accidents and on to the melancholy canals of Venice, as stories become increasingly audacious and the soundtrack pleasingly unpredictable.

DARMSTADT "CLASSICS OF THE AVANT-GARDE" PRESENTS
AN EVENING WITH RADIO WONDERLAND AND LUKE DUBOIS
Armed with soft- and hard-wares of their own invention, electronic
composers Joshua Fried (aka Radio Wonderland) and Luke Dubois recycle
the detritus of our mass-market culture into wild expressions of new
media music.
Armed with an 80s boom box and an array of bizarro MIDI controllers
(fashioned out of a steering wheel and old shoes), the antenna of Radio
Wonderland receives messages from FM radio, transforms them in real time
and rebroadcasts into rhythm-heavy improvisations. Feet have been known
to dance.
Luke DuBois uses original software to deconstruct the greatest hits of
modern culture, Oscar-winning films and Bilboard Number One hits, into
mind bending
a/v abstractions.
http://radiowonderland.org/
http://www.lukedubois.com/
and, as always, Nick Hallett and Zach Layton spin music fit for
academic curricula by Terry Riley, John Cage, Morton Feldman, Boris
Blacher, Luciano Berio, Laurie Anderson, Meredith Monk, Olivier
Messiaen, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Yoko Ono and Arthur Russell.

Playful experimentation and free drinks lie at the heart of this event, which will feature live music from established indie rockers Pink Noise and Jigsaw Soul, as well as modern dance performances by Everything Smaller and Arts Eclectic.

Everything Smaller and Arts Eclectic are pulling dance from the traditional venues to a more accessible platform.
