BAR
FLIES
The
inaugural show of Galapago's new theater series:
EVOLVE! Click
here for more info!
written
by Clay McLeod Chapman
performances by Karl Allen, Clay McLeod Chapman,
Hanna Cheek, Dave Gueriera, and Sean Twomey
"Site-specific
theater takes a delightfully boozy twist as
playwright Clay McLeod Chapman pens this tale
of tavern habitués staged at hipster
boîte Galapagos."
-The Village Voice
Welcome
to the bar of your nightmares. If their was
a dive in purgatory, this would be it. Every
sad sack in this place has a story to tell,
and each and every one of them is one sip away
from spilling their guts. Or cutting their feet
off. Or picking up chicks to join the Marines.
Or toasting to ghosts. Or burying their next-door
neighbor in the backyard. Or exposing their
incestuous lesbian love affair with their little
sister. Or hand-picking which drunkard to get
in a car accident with on the road back home.
Welcome to BAR FLIES. Five new gothic tales
written by Clay McLeod Chapman, creator of the
Pumpkin Pie Show. “Bar Flies” will
be presented in Galapagos’s back room among
its patrons, our band, noise, smoke, drink,
sweat, pickup lines, etc. It will consist of
five stories spoken by five actors mixing with
music from the band. You will not know the players
until they speak, possibly from the bar stool
next to you. You can always order another drink.
The more alcohol you put down, the better the
show is going to get... You could possibly even
go home with one of the performers.

THE
HANDSOME PUBLIC ROGUE-POP VIDEO MELTDOWN
2
Men, 2 Mics, 1 Guitar, 1 Keyboard, 1 Million
Beats, 10 Music Videos, 1 Gigantic Movie Screen.
New York's premier rogue-pop duo will debut
10 new music videos during this unprecedented
live show.
“Sparks fly between Dr. Rosen Rosen &
Vickers Bastard Gringo, whose sound, termed
Progressive Rogue Pop, combines catchy beats
of teen pop, with subversive lyrics no teenager
should ever hear. Take two crooners from a bygone
era and infuse it with the gritty underground
music scene, give it a backdrop of edgy, original
video art and you have just begun to understand
The Handsome Public.”

The First Annual Galapagos Staff Show Off Festival
The
staff of Galapagos includes some of NYC's best
up-and-coming artists: artists who have been presented
at Lincoln Center, the Hermitage in St Petersburg,
worked with Iggy Pop,
won Obie Awards, are opera stage combat performers,
have played at the city's best rock clubs, are
signed to major labels, and more if you can believe
it.
On
January 7th, they unveil their newest works in
an innovative synergy of their artistic careers
with their work at Galapagos Art Space. It's one
of the most unique shows a venue has ever produced.
Try to think of another professional arts venue
that could (now
or in its past) have put on this
kind of show. Bet you can't.
 For
one night only, Galapagos Art Space presents a
FREE show packed with music, theater, dance, performance
and visual art, all of it created and performed
by members of our staff.
The
Festival celebrates three exciting changes at
Galapagos:
- the renewal of the 8-year-old art space's lease;
- the reopening of our backroom;
- the launch of a new high-profile theater
series.
Hosted by comedienne/performance artist Desiree
Burch (top picture), the evening includes
a reading of an original play by Barbara Hammond,
burlesque from Miss Allison (bottom picture),
a new play by Hailey Ratigan, a piano piece by
John Moran, new dance from Ori Lenkinski, karate
from Christi Waldon, an oscilloscope piece from
Ray Sweeten (middle picture), art installations
by Max Jones and Bryan A. Moore, video installation
by Katja Loher, paintings from Keith Kelly and

project of The Fabulous Entourage).
Plus DJs Boy Racer and Tikka Masala will spin!
And
there's Free X-Rated Brand Vodka!

 34th
Annual Dance on Camera Festival
http://www.dancefilmsassn.org
This
program showcases thirteen short dance films by
directors from 11 countries with two from Australia
and Poland, Argentina, Israel, Norway, Spain, Netherlands,
France, Canada, Sweden and UK. From the stunning
island of Branno, Sweden to a luxurious, 1920s sanitorium
in the Swiss Alps, to a New York City rooftop, these
films whisk us around the world without leaving
the comfort of our seats. When the audience first
enters, they will enjoy Daniel Bohm's Lo Rojo projected
above and reflected upon a dark pool below. An ensemble
also performs live in a short dance performance,
titled Precious Little While, created by Brooklyn
based choreographer Tennille Lambert.
Among
the highlights are CzarnoBialy (Black and White),
the first prize winner from the recent Kino Tanca
competition in Poland, and Carbon Minoxide, a playful
romp along Brooklyn sidewalks set to the luscious
music of NYC singer-songwriter, Regina Spektor.
Join us for a delightful night of movement, music,
and moving pictures.

& BUDDY KARAOKE
Take life a little less seriously.
Sing a song. Be a rock star.
It's
ridiculous over the top sloppy rock n roll Karaoke
that nobody has any business doing late on a Sunday
night. And yet, we do it here.
