Merkin Hall @ The Kaufman Center, New York, NY
129 West 67th Street, New York, NY 10023
World premiere of Southworth's new piece Concerning the Doodle for the Bang on a Can All-Stars, commissioned by Bang on a Can People's Commissioning Fund, with accompanying film by Amy Lovera, Christina Spangler, and Jessica Gidal.
Join us for the adventures of Joe Pickle and Eyelash Girl Doodle, two kooky canines with a taste for drama. Their journey begins in the park, where they meet and discover a shared interest in tennis balls, frisbees, and squirrels. Delighted in their romping, they acquire magic powers from a duck, propelling them above a tennis court into a waking dream. Being part poodle, Eyelash Girl Doodle dreams in French. Her deepest concerns - salami, cheese, tennis balls, bones, and Joe Pickle - become animated as she floats through the subconscious of her dog brain.
Music & Lyrics by Christine Southworth
Animated Film by Clever Girls Collaborative: Christina Spangler, Amy Lovera & Jessica Gidal. Animation and assistance also by Julia Gandrud, Evelyn Tang & Lincoln Bostian
