Caitlin Scholl brings “The Space We Make”.

by

Friend Caitlin Scholl put together a project called The Space We Make. Kickstarter’d (is this becoming the new term along with “Google’d” or something?) for $5,000, Scholl and partner Simon Thomas-Train have created a collaborative dance/ music/ theater project that will premiere at the Upper Jay Art Center, August 25. 

In Upper Jay, New York, on the bank of the East Branch of the Ausable River there is an old wooden building. Four stories high, this old warehouse has been many things in the past—a Model-T assembly factory (built by Henry Ford himself), a pine cone threshing plant, an antique store and an upholstery studio. Now you have the chance to help make the space anew by taking part in an exciting experiment that we, a collective of 13 seasoned artists, are calling collaborative community performance. And we want you to be involved. Here’s your chance to partake in a truly revolutionary kind of performance piece, not just with your dollars but with your ideas as well.

Scholl recently published the truly excellent Makebelieve—a kind of scrapbook biography of Arto Monaco, the mind behind Jay’s The Land of Make Believe–is one of those creative minds that refuses to be restrained by literary convention.

(Full Disclosure is necessary at this point, to avoid all Lehreriness: Mogul co-founder Dave Press, the writer of this post, reviewed Scholl’s book at his blog).

We are very much looking forward to this performance, which gears up for seven days before a one night only performance Saturday, the twenty-fifth.
