The Artist Room: Martha Graham Cracker
A note from Adam S. on what sounds like an not-to-be-missed event:
My company
CMYK is producing an event in two weeks, titled
The Artist Room. It is an immersive artist-in-residence hosted at Washington Square Hotel. An artist spends a week at the historic Village hotel (Dylan wrote here, Hemingway drank here, etc. etc.), at the end of which we create a very intimate and interactive performative "experience" in a hotel room with just a small audiences and the artist. This September, we're thrilled to present MARTHA GRAHAM CRACKER, the legendary drag performer for a few unique performances.
Martha is transforming her hotel room into an intimate cabaret. Think Sunset Boulevard meets art deco femme fatale meets pop songs with an accordion. You'll enter the room with up to five other people for a "green room" behind-the-scenes with Martha. She's sing, she'll cry, she'll make you help her dress her. She may even serenade you in the hotel shower. Anything could happen and each performance will be different, based on the vibe of the audience. After your in-room experience, Martha will then put on a full, show-stopper cabaret performance in the lounge with even more musical accompaniment. It's going to be bananas.
The whole reason why we created this event series is because we wanted to see what would happen when you strip away all of the things that usually stand in the way at a large performance - the stage, the set, the thousands of people in the audience with you. What happens when it is just you and an artist? In a hotel room? Don't you want to come find out?!
Details:
The Artist Room with Martha Graham Cracker
