After running CRS for four years, I have finally found time to return to making work for the theatre and screen. For those of you who don't know, I was very active as a performer, director, and videographer before opening CRS. Now, I am delighted to be able to invite you to see my new work, which opens what I believe is an especially entertaining program, Conversations with Barthelme, at CRS the next two weekends. In addition to my work, created with Hazuki Homma and inspired by the old tale of Bluebeard the wife-killer, Conversations with Barthelme also features two terrifically performed pieces by Harold Lehmann and Nathan Dame, a whimsical and thought-provoking short film by Jonathan Hayes about school-children searching for the meaning of life and death, and a startling conceptual work about cultural divides and generation gaps by the legendary Yoshiko Chuma and Shirotama Hitsujiya of Yubiwa Hotel.
I would also like to invite you to a film we have just added to our calendar. "The Miracle of the Gifted Quarter — Since it is the Truth" is a documentary about what we can learn from special-needs kids and has taken Japan by storm. We will be screening it (its NYC premiere) on Monday, August 25 and due to its popularity, we expect it to sell out so grab your tickets fast!
Our Art Camp! is designed to give kids a fun introduction to arts activities that are not usually taught: fashion design, making tutus, portraiture, collaborative artwork, theatre & the visual arts, weaving. Weaving is already full, so we encourage you sign your kids up for the other classes quickly before they fill up, too. We have some great teachers and it is sure to be a blast. All kids are welcome! And if you would like to attend with your child, that is fine, too. We've had quite a few adults express interest in taking the classes.
Sincerely,
Christopher Pelham
Director
