On our way to EMPAC

A few years ago we started hearing about this pretty magical place in Troy, NY: The Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center. Word on the street was the theater spaces were filled with the most amazing technology available and they were inviting artists of the highest caliber to create and finish work with resources never before imaginable.

EMPAC: that's 220,000 sq ft of theater magic waiting to happen.

And now, in the year 2012, Hand2Mouth is honored to be one of those select artists. After more than a year of work on Something's Got Ahold of My Heart we are so excited to tech it out and spend long, focused hours readying the show for premiere. We also do not mind that our names are listed alongside folks like, oh say, Laurie Anderson. Yeah, that does seem pretty nice.

In addition to a two week residency (November 26 - December 9), EMPAC is also giving us a cool $5,000. The cost, as you can imagine, of bringing 10 artists (from three states!) to Troy for two weeks is well in excess of $5,000. So we created a Kickstarter campaign are turning to all our friends, family, peers and more to help us raise another $5,000 and make this whole thing real.



If you can, please support this campaign by giving or sharing our video. We know it will take the support from our whole community to make this happen.
