She has traveled the universe searching for souls to heal and planets to save. The Mystery of Claywoman, written and performed by Michael Cavadias and directed by Rob Roth, combines the forms of a documentary screening and lecture to actualize the story of Claywoman. Claywoman was originally developed by Cavadias while working with seminal downtown performance troupe Blacklips Performance Cult and with Mabou Mines E.T.C.'s artist residence program. The cast of the film includes Amy Poehler, Alan Cumming, Justin Bond, and Ruth Maleczech.

Arts & Answers Tuesday, July 8: 9:30-10:00 pm La JohnJoseph is a British born writer and performance artist who will be appearing in a multi-media one-man show entitled "Notorious Beauty" at Dixon Place on July 10th, 11th, and 12th, part of the 17th annual "Hot!" Festival, a celebration of queer culture. The autobiographical piece deals with genderbending, glamor, and the low spark of high heeled boys. Hosted by Gerry Visco P.S. this show is streaming so as long as you are by a computer and can access the internet at 930 PM (depending on your time zone) , you need to listen to me break rules, set new guidelines, and shatter the gender zone. If not, you'll be sorry! I'll later archive it on my own personal website. La JJ has a charming British voice and does a brilliant monologue from the show.

Hello, and welcome to my first Facebook event posting. I hope you enjoy reading it more than I enjoyed writing it! Each month, Brooklyn Vegan (http://www.brooklynvegan.com) and I throw a party at Pianos in NYC that has comedy and music. Our next installment is going to be off the chain. At 8pm we have comedy featuring - Roger Hailes - Anthony Jeselnik - Dave Hill - Mike Birbiglia Then at 9pm we've got two bands lined up. Unfortunately, even though they're confirmed I am unable to tell you who they are, but holy fuck mountain I am DYING to tell you. Hopefully I can divulge who the musical guests are the day of the show. And when I do, by Cod, expect a speedy sell out. Also, FREE BEER BrooklynVegan and Klaus Kinski present Rock n' ROFL Wednesday 6/18/08 Show begins at 8pm SHARP Pianos 158 Ludlow Street at Stanton $10 * sponsored by The Sound Of Young America Thanks in advance for your support.
