Festival Phénomena 2013

PHENOMENAL OCTOBER
October will be a crazy amazing month, especially with Festival Phenomena in Montreal.  I am pleased to be presenting a multitude of projects for the festival.

1] I am ecstatic to announce the Quebec Premiere of the film SMILE STEALERS in collaboration with Festival du nouveau cinéma [FNC]. After 4 long years, the film will finally be played in MTL where it all began. And we are cooking up a big performance event at Sala Rosa le 18 octobre, for the opening night of the festival: Join the FB event for INFO.

2] Egotrip Productions will be premiering a brand new multimedia Sci-Fi shadow puppet show at Sala Rosa: Tout inclus sur la Planet Rouge.  Arthur Desmarteaux and I are pleased to be sharing the stage with good friends Jesse Or and Max Kelly, who will be performing their new show The More of Everything Revival Hour - Lundi 21 octobre [more info soooon!]

3] I am also creating the video projections for La Mythologie Expliquee, a special tableaux vivants performance at Bain Saint-Michel, created by artistic director D.Kimm. [18, 19, 20 october]

PUCES POP FESTIVAL MONTREAL

Puppet Making Workshop

This October I participated in the Pop Montreal Festival as Musician, Workshop leader, craft maker and exhibiter.  I was asked to organize a puppet making workshop for the Pop Montreal Festival.  The series of workshops was organized for the pop montreal festival as part of this years KIDS POP.  All workshops took place at the Mile End Cultural Centre at 214 Bernard.

As a participant for the ShOW & Tell Event as part of the Puces Pop DIY (Do IT YOURSELF) section of the Pop Montreal Festival,  I exhibited my silkscreen prints and some of my hand puppets at the Green Room.  The puppets were made in collaboration with Arthur Desmarteaux.  I also sold my prints and embroidered shirts at the Puce Pop MArket, and played my trombone with my brother Bradley Thomas Moore for his show at the KGB.  (I played one song), making for a very amazing, busy schedule at this year's festival.

The Puppet Making Workshop was a successful event with many participants.  Although most people were under 10 years of age, the parents who brought the puppeteers were just as eager to dig in and make some puppet magic.  I brought my home-made crafted Shadow Puppet Theatre to test out the finished results.  We made mostly Brown Paper Bag puppets for the little ones... but later made some shadow puppets to try out the stage.  

Thank you to Puces Pop and the Pop Montreal Festival for such a great event, and especially to JENNY CRAIG who organized the DIY, craft market, the Show & Tell etc, etc....
