The NACL Catskill Festival of New Theatre is an international theatre festival of contemporary performance featuring companies from the USA, Canada, and Australia. Over the course of ten days, NACL will present performances by some of the most exciting contemporary artists of today. All of the artists that we present in our festival create original and delightfully unique performances that redefine and sometimes defy the usual patterns and standards of theatre creation and presentation today. The festival has a long history of presenting experimental work by outstanding companies from around the world, and we are very pleased to announce this year’s lineup:

SCHEDULE

Thursday, July 29—Sunny Drake (Brisbane, Australia)
Other-wise at 8 PM
“This morning I lost my homework and the dog ate my gender.” Other-wise is a gutsy transgender one-person magical multimedia comedy. Other-wise is a tender letter to the actor’s family, brought to life on stage, exposing the emotions and experience of a transgender person. Animated creatures whisk us into worlds of magic as Sunny explores body image, learning to fly and getting comfortable with contradictions. As funny as it is moving, Other-wise is testament to the courage it takes to be true to oneself. Warning: you will only understand this show if you are human and born on planet earth. If you’ve ever tried to fit into other people’s expectations or been worried someone wouldn’t understand or be proud of you, then this story is also about you.
“deeply personal but undeniably universal…” (Time Off, Brisbane)

Friday, July 30—TheThem (Toronto, Canada)
People4Change at 8 PM
People4Change follows three young professionals who join forces to make a difference in the world after witnessing a sudden death on the subway tracks. Their efforts to “help the world,” range from the naïve to the sublime when they open a phonebook and start calling random people for donations to their various causes. In a world inundated with global information (and global suffering), self-help and spiritual panaceas, and contradictory common values, we are examining the frustration, isolation, and passion of ‘Generation Y-ers’ in North America.

Saturday, July 31—Mondo Bizarro and ArtSpot Production (New Orleans)
Loup Garou outdoors at Apple Pond Farm
Note: 2 show times--at sunrise 6 AM, and sunset 6 PM
“Fact: Much of our community in New Orleans has vanished. We are living on land in Southeast Louisiana that is disappearing at the rate of one football field every forty-five minutes. Since 2005 we have faced down the stark reality that every work of art we create as an ensemble may literally be our last. As such, we make art with urgency because our actions are visibly and directly altering the city we love.” Award-winning performance innovators ArtSpot Productions and Mondo Bizarro, in collaboration with the Gulf Restoration Network, present Loup Garou a new environmental performance that uses rigorous physicality, poetry, music and visual installation to investigate the deep interconnectedness between land and culture in Louisiana. With morning performances beginning at sunrise and evening performances ending at sunset, Loup Garou is part performance, part ritual, part howl to the world about southeast Louisiana’s plight.
APPLE POND FARM is located at 80 Hahn Rd., Callicoon Center, NY 12724

Sunday, August 1—Strike Anywhere (New York City)
!!FreEpLaY!!: Same River at 8 PM
Based on interviews with local residents about water, and riffing on the theme of interconnectedness, Strike Anywhere will spontaneously spin out a performance piece in a style dubbed “3D-Jazz”. Strike Anywhere interdisciplinary ensemble of world-class jazz musicians, modern dancers, and actors are k nown for their use of SOUNDPAINTING, the live composing sign language, the ensemble creates art in the moment, allowing intuition, the sounds of the room and audience suggestion to shape what they play. Featuring: Donna Bouthillier (dance), Bob Bowen (bass), Michel Gentile (flute), Rob Henke (trumpet), Damen Scranton (actor), Rolf Sturm (guitar) & Leese Walker (actor). Artistic Director: Leese Walker
