Actors of Dionysus

Proba teatralna spektaklu Bacchic brytyjskiego Actors of Dionysus. Po opisie spodziewalam sie duzej i dynamicznej produkcji ktora okazala sie "one woman show" w wykonaniu balansujacej na linie aktorki Tamsin Shasha.

Derevo

O rosyjskiej grupie teatralnej Derevo byla juz wzmianka; jestem ich fanka od wielu lat jednakze ciezko ich fotografowac...Pierwszym spektaklem ktory mnie oczarowal bylo plenerowe "Execution of Pierrot" ktory widzialam dwa razy w Warszawie skad pochodza dwa ostatnie zdjecia ( analog ). Mieszkajac w Edynburgu pracowalam podczas festiwalu w teatrze gdzie grupa wystawiala Ketzala codziennie o 15, przez 3 tygodnie. Obserwowalam codziennie aktorow przed i po spektaklu jednak byli tacy niedostepni, nie bylo mowy o jakimkolwiek fotografowaniu. Zdjecia pochodza z widowiska otwierajacego Fringe Festival w Dublinie - o ich publikacje na flickr mialam zreszta potem problem z dyrektorem wizualnym grupy.

Derevo is a Russian theatre group which i am a fan since a long time however it's difficult to photograph them...The first show i fell in love with was Execution of Pierrot which i saw twice in Warsaw where the last two photos are from. Living in Edinburgh i worked during festival in theatre where the troupe was performing Ketzal everyday at 3pm for 3 weeks. I was watching actors everyday, before and after the show but they were so unavailable, there was no chance of photographing them. The photos below were taken at opening show of Dublin Fringe Festival in Ireland and i had an disagreement with the visual director of the group after publishing them on flickr..

Spiegeltents are hand-hewn pavilions used as traveling dance halls, bars and entertainment salons since they were created in the early 20th century. There are only a hand-full of these unique and legendary ‘tents of mirrors’ left in the world today. Built of wood, mirrors, canvas, leaded glass and detailed in velvet and brocade, each has its own personality and style.The most beautiful of the last remaining Belgian Spiegeltents, The Famous Spiegeltent, was built in 1920 by master craftsmen Oscar Mols Dom and Loius Goor. This Grande Dame has spent her lifetime at the bequest of festivals and fairgrounds throughout Europe and beyond, playing host to the world’s greatest cabaret artists, musicians and circus burlesque performers.
The Famous Spiegeltent is a mainstay of the Edinburgh Festivals season and is a star in her own right, hosting parties, concerts, clubs and a myriad stunning performances. She has launched the careers of countless artists and travels to the four corners of the world from Edinburgh to Melbourne, Brighton to Montreal.
