.ism(e) returns! CALL FOR ARTISTS

.ism(e): The Reunion Tour
Welcome to WAKEFEST
Friday, August 27th, 10 PM
Le Hibou, 757 Riverside Drive, Wakefield QC

***Call for Artists**
This year, Wakefest Arts Festival is opening up its doors for a most nocturnal Cabaret / Soirée. And what better place than the HIBOU'S nest?? Wakefest is about fusing the arts ... merging them ... and instead of musing on doing ... actually DOING! And in this spirit, so is this edition of:

.ism(e): Performance Cabaret. TRY IT ... YOU MAY LIKE IT.

That is, have you ever tried to do your spoken word while hoola hooping? have always fantasized about dancing the dance of the Seven Veils on those train tracks? Is that entertaining? Can it be done? We don't know. Try it. Choreograph it! This is not a Nike commercial but JUST DO IT! Mix it up ... you know you want to!

Showcase for new and in progress performative works for birds of all feathers. For the last 3 years Ism(e):Performance Cabaret has been bringing dance, spoken word, theatre, comedy, circus and performance that defy categorization. All on the same night!!

If you're interested in showing us your plumage, send an excerpt a synopsis or at least a very good description of your piece to scott: scott@fools.ca or annie:flamelicked@hotmail.com or even still wakefest2009@hotmail.com Pieces are to be 7-10 minutes in length.

Show time is 10 PM on Friday, August 27th
Show is at Le Hibou, 757 Riverside Drive, Wakefield QC
.ism(e)'s own Annie Lefebvre and Wakefest superstar Norman Nawrocki (Mtl) will shake their co-hosting tailfeathers for you and make you laugh, cry, scratch your head in utter bewilderment, or you can go ahead and PLUCK them.

3rd Anniversary Spectacular - and the end of .ism(e)!

It's been 3 weird, wonderful, wacky years, and after 20 plus cabarets, Annie and I have decided that .ism(e) must die - so it can be reborn!

In 2010 we will be changing up the format of the .ism(e) cabaret, giving it a new name and a new look. Before we do, we're celebrating one last time with some fabulous acts and a big super blowout party! We'll even be giving you a sneak preview of what you can expect in the cabarets in 2010.

What else can you expect at Fatal...ism(e)? We've got some pretty fabulous acts lined up for you: Nick Di Gaetano will be playing several songs throughout the evening as we embrace our first ever HOUSE BAND! We've also got ANDY MASSINGHAM and his incredible chair, JESSICA RUANO and her wicked words, VANESSA GENDRON and her extraordinary puppets, ALIX SIDERIS mixing up the best drink you've ever had; SCOTT FLORENCE with something strange, ANNIE LEFEVBRE as your Host with The Most.... and more more more more more! Plus drinking and dancing all night long!

See you there!
