Friends of the Loew's Event Volunteers do everything from selling the tickets to making the popcorn to showing patrons to their seats and cleaning up the theatre afterwards. If you are interested in joining us this weekend or at any other event this season, email us at loewsjersey@gmail.com or call us at (201) 798-6055.

We do ask, however, that volunteers stay 30-40 minutes after the final show the help us clean up.

Binary Dreams/ Flux
“Binary Dreams” brings forth a fusion of the technical brain and the intuitive in the form of new innovative arts that depict the vast and transpersonal experiences of dreams. With the advent of new technology emerging and novelty dropping new seeds constantly into the oceans of the mind, the abstractions of dreaming are constantly fractalling out into an explosion of new diverse realities that become available for exploration when one abandons the senses to sleep and plunges inwards. Vincent Zambrano and Kaliptus are bringing back the raw dream elements and translating them out into the mundane world. The art works themselves vary in style and medium but work together like a perfect blend of opposite dualities. They create an overall effect of wholeness, diversity and surreal futurism.
artists:
Vincent Zambrano(JC), Kaliptus(Harrison NJ)
curator: Veronica Santi, (Florence Italy)

Dimensional Portraits
Multidimensional portraits, created with paintings, literary quotes, video animation and music.
The viewer enters an experience about a person, a visual literary encounter.
artist: Fermin Mendoza (JC native, Morris county)
curator: Uta Brauser

Abstract geometry
Peter Bill's abstract geometric forms with his life-long devotion to color theory involves
painstakingly rendered stripes and shapes, by hand, with perfected skill.
The summary of shapes creates a trompe l'oeuil three dimensionality.
artist: Peter Bill (JC)
curator: Uta Brauser

Unpolitically correct characters exploiting themselves
The underground Urban characters of androgenous, colorful, queer and love for life creatures
are Stephanie's observations of a New Yorker upbringing and life style.
artist and curator: Stephanie Riggi (JC)


Abstractions
The artist uses a technique called video performance painting. First video images are projected onto a blank canvas.
Next the artist begins painting the moving video images. Each brush stroke creates a different visual layer for the viewer.
The viewers are not only seeing the projections they are seeing the paint create a different image all together.
Olivia's  paintings  are the out come of this visual layering process.
Performances are scheduled    saturday at 4 pm, sunday at 7pm
artist, curator: Olivia Wilber (JC)


Spanking machine
The multidimensional experience of observing and/or physically immersing into the depth of pain
or physical intensity combined with the social aspect of the public's presence  will make this display
unforgettable.
artist, curator: Uta Brauser (JC)

Becoming Visible
The linear patterns in Becoming Visible were inspired by wood carvings and bronze statues from Benin, West Africa.
Many of these works depict the king or "Oba" of Benin with contours of his face.Traditionally some ethnic groups used these lines
to identify each other after they had been separated.
In this case I place the lines on an image of my own face to express empathy for the families of innocent African American men whose lives
were taken unjustly.
artist, curator: Eto Otitigbe (NYC)

Cold in the Sun
"is a new media piece on reflections with my father's progressing dementia. "cold in the sun" was one of the phrases
I would find him mumbling to himself.
In this video  I reenact some of the phrases my father would mumble while sitting
around the house as if they were a series
of flashbacks.
Through the use of Delaunay Triangulation the video gradually abstracts itself as my father gets
deeper into his memories.
Delaunay Triangulation is a method of computational geometry that can be used to model
complex surfaces without having to measure the exact dimensions of all surface points.
It is typically used to model terrains where only some points of altitude are known.
     
In this case I assume the role of my father and attempt to reenact some of his mannerisms.
Although I did not know much about him I have a few data points form which to model his behavior."
artist, curator: Eto Otitigbe (NYC)

so-low theater festival

SO LOW Theater Festival

Date: Thursday, September 27, 2012 To Sunday, September 30, 2012

Time: 7pm

Location: Art House Productions

Cost: $6 per show

A full weekend of original one-person shows! Styles range from memoir to multimedia to dance!

You Gotta Have Faith (or We'll Disown You)
A hilarious, honest and provocative account of what it's like to be an atheist in a very Catholic family. Part coming of age tale, part social commentary, this deeply personal show is a journey through religion, family and faith--with surprising revelations.

Kookspeak
Delightful death fantasies, gravely serious hand-puppet conversations, the Most Annoying Girl in the World voice and performing at the Grammy's with your true love, a FIFA World Cup star/YouTube phenomenon -- it's all fun in this series of monologues from the mouths of people who live inside their heads.

Hurricane Alana
Floods and carbon monoxide and missing kitties, oh my. There's no place like home. With the help of the hugging lady from India, a creepy astrologer, drug dealer Lewie, and a feng shui specialist, Hurricane Alana is a funny and touching story about a girl's search for love, a home and a good mold specialist.

Musical Theater for Asian Males (Only Edition)
From the debate of Miss Saigon to the death of Danny Chen, one Asian man looks at the role of his race in theater, media, and society.

RUDE
Urban Legend Breaks The Stage. Champion Slam Poet and Bay Area Hip Hop legend Azeem presents his One Man Show at the 2012 SO LOW Theater Festival

Going to America
A Welsh boy immigrating to the fantasy of a new life experiences the journey we all take from childhood to adolescence. It is 1954 when passenger steamers ruled the sea and America was the Promised Land.

Fore/closure
An original one-woman stage show by Gabby Creery based on her blog and popular column in the Jersey City Independent. Telling the riveting true account of a family's turbulent journey down the rabbit hole of unemployment, poverty and the threat of homelessness, Gabby paints an intimate portrait not just of the devastating effects of the financial crisis on a family and a marriage, but also the ways in which community and joy can be found.

Click, Start, Vroom
This monologue is performed by a 17 year old explaining the first time he has ever experienced the thrill of being behind the wheel and driving for the first time. He also explains the proper way to drive a car and how you should never drive a car. Enjoy the ride!

Letters to My Mother (But Really for my Father)
"Dear Mom" Are these words any easier to write when Mom is gone?

he Shim-Sham Slam: A Dancer's Manifesto
Blending spoken word with dance, The Shim Sham Slam: a Dancer's Manifesto looks at the highs and lows of dedicating your life to a near impossible dream. It's about sacrifice, glory, and the reasons we find for refusing defeat.
