Fringe Festival - 2012
painting LIVE at the Fringe Festival for NUMBERS I will be painting "live" for each performance of NUMBERS at the fringe festival Kokus Productions an amazing singing - dancing production.... I have been sketching the dancers at rehearsal since February and the energy is working up... Come and see us!!!
ONTARIO ARTS REVIEW - Great Reviews for NUMBERS.. and I get mentioned July 8, 2012 TORONTO FRINGE FESTIVAL, 2012 “NUMBERS” @ Factory Theatre "Kokus Productions & director Lukas Press have a definite contender for Best of Fringe in this large dance-oriented emotional story of the Holocaust. Seen through the eyes of a utterly loveable Ella Ballentine who is the epitome of W.C. Fields’ caveat about working with kids or animals. Everyone else pales. But not by very much, the dancers who also vocalize the deteriorating situation from anti-Jewish laws, to hunger; to Ghetto to tattooed NUMBERS & the ‘final solution’ are collectively marvellously talented. The choreographic team, has managed to capture the essence of diminishing youthful optimism, as well as the visual impact of degradation, fear & ultimate horror that embodied Germany’s philosophy under its Fuehrer. Costumes, makeup; lighting, sound and scene-setting all contribute to the overall impressions the creative team hoped to project and they have succeeded. Creator & coach Robyn Kay-Pilarski deserves much credit. This is an imaginative work that is professionally implemented and this is certainly a must-see effort. Bonus, artist Rhonda Nolan, interprets the on-stage progress and her impression thereof on canvas during the entire performance. The result is raffled off at the conclusion." TG .....and another review with a mention - MOONEY on THEATRE By Avi Bendahan "I’d call this a dance piece, but that would be massively oversimplifying things. Then again, I’m not sure how to communicate the way co-directors Lukas Press and Rebecca Reinhart managed to weave together narrative, storytelling, singing, acoustic guitar, historical facts, live painting (by local artist Rhonda Nolan), and oh yeah, did I mention the dancing?"
