Quintessence Project/ "The Fairytale Experiment"
...
...
Last year we toured around the USA performing and filming a documentary. We met many amazing artists on the road who are making things happen and featured them in the film- people like Rex Dingler who started the NOLA Rising project and is this year organizing a project to paint the largest mural in the USA on the 9th levee, The Art House and Artist Scott Pterodactyl in New Orleans, Rachel Katz who started a circus in Philadelphia called "Carnivolution," The Tannery in Santa Cruz an amazing art space for artists, and many more ...
The documentary has been sent to 15 film festivals, 5 TV stations and 3 producers, in the hope to create interest for the 2010 tour and documentary series. The documentary will also bring to light what's happening in each state we travel through and show a side of America and Americans, Canada and Canadians you don't see very often.
Who are we?
The Fairytale Experience is a band of artists from different places and cultures, who will be traveling for 5 months together through thick and thin, performing around the USA and Canada meeting other artists and improvising with them, bringing performance arts to communities and showing the people that they also can thrive on the exchange of ideas, abilities and laughter. We will be filming the tour in hope to make a reality documentary series, about a group of artists making it on the road.
The 2010 tour will start in Montreal QB at the end of June, we will then travel to Berlington Vermont, New York City NY, Philadelphia PA, Richmond VA, Ashville SC, Atlanta Georgia , Tallahassee Florida , Montgomery Alabama , New Orleans Louisiana, Austin Texas , Santa FE New Mexico , Denver Colorado , Salt Lake City Utah , Las Vegas Nevada, San Jose California, Seattle Washington, and finish in Vancouver BC the last two weeks of November.
This year we brought together a talented group of artists:
Ezekial Kelly- musician from Alaska
Charlotte Gaspard and the Theater of the Magical Real from Brooklyn NY
San Lluis- musician from Paris France
Rose Robin- live performance paint from Britain
