ARTISTS WITHOUT WALLS: “SHOWCASE at the CELL THEATRE” on TUESDAY, AUGUST 27

Mosaic Dance Theater Company
Mosaic Dance Theater Company

Artists Without Walls’ growing multicultural community includes singers, dancers, painters, writers, actors, oral historians, poets, and cultural enthusiasts.  Joining us for Tuesday night’s showcase will be Samara Adell, the founder of the Mosaic Dance Theater Company,  whose objective  is not unlike Artists Without Walls’. MDTC develops and presents original dance, theater, and educational programs celebrating the rich diversity of cultures and folkloric traditions of the Mediterranean, including the Middle East, North Africa, Turkey, Greece, Italy, and Spain. The dances and music, the stories and myths, and the history and legends of this fascinating area of the world form the wellspring of inspiration for MDTC’s creative vision.  On Tuesday night, Samara and two members from MDTC’s troupe will be performing  original works from MDTC’s extensive repertoire of dance. 

 

Marni Rice

Chanteuse-Accordionist and Theater Artist Marni Rice, whose musical repertoire includes vintage French Chanson, Euro Cabaret Songs and original music will be performing songs from herEP (Extended Play) Songs for a Small Chamber, a collection of original ballads. Marni’s goal is to create and present musical and theatrical performance works for an international audience, and to bridge the gap between people across cultural and linguistic barriers. 

 

stephanie_camera280Filmmaker and writer Stephanie Silber will be reading from The Lemon Tree, a story of  the day in the life of a little girl who’s been separated from her many siblings and sent to stay with her grandma following her mother’s collapse from nervous exhaustion. The story contemplates the question of what it means to be wounded; how trauma is experienced, and the redemptive possibility of healing.

 

Chris Stover

Recording artist, composer and trombonist Chris Stover will be playing a brand new solo arrangement of Chico Buarque’s “Apesar de você. ” Chris said, “The song is dedicated to all of his friends in Brazil, fighting the good fight and making things happen over the last weeks – saravá, gente!”

 

Jenai Huff
Jenai Huff

For almost two decades Jenai Huff managed bands because she felt that music could impact the world in a positive way.  Now, with her first CD, Transitions,  released in 2011 she wants to do just that.  And certainly the world could use some positive impressions these days.  A little bit folk, a little country and a touch of bluegrass, Jenai is currently recording her second CD and will be performing songs from her new work.  

 

Mark Donnelly will perform a monologue from the climactic scene in his one-act play The Steamfitter’s Dream. The monologue, which occurs in a Manhattan bar, centers around a middle aged, alcoholic construction worker trying to convince a young man that the drinking life is not something to aspire to. The play  was published in Best Men’s Monologues of 1998 by Smith and Kraus.

 

And there will be more.  The Showcase begins at 7pm at the The Cell Theater, located at 338 West 23rd St., NYC. Hope to see you there.
