another interpretation of synesthesia in nyc

Synesthesia

A yearly festival that showcases a unique fusion of art forms in one cohesive two-hour evening performance. It is the culmination of months of work by musicians, sculptors, actors, writers, directors, photographers, dancers, and a multitude of other artists who come together to engage each other in a cross-genre conversation.

This ambitious performance piece takes an unforgettable look at how artists influence, inspire, and steal from each other. It's a peak inside the dirty work of creation through the schoolyard game of telephone ... with art.

And it all started with a fortune cookie. In September, the first artist chose a cookie and used the enclosed fortune to inspire his writing. After a few days of furious work, he passed his story off to a photographer, and, in turn, the photographer's series was passed onto the next artist ... and so on.

Now, witness the development and outcome of this five-month-long game of artistic telephone, through live performance and video documenting the 11 artists\' journeys. The contributors to Synesthesia 2007 are: Benjamin Percy, Rebecca Drysdale, Ohad Meromi, PL115 Theater Group,Darian Dauchan, Scott Korb, One Ring Zero, Steve Spehar, JeremyParise, Elizabeth Kurkjian, Ben Greenman, Gregory Stuart Edwards.

Synesthesia brings the schoolyard into the gallery. It\'s live performance, documentary, audience participation, and a completely original look at the creative process.
