Fairy-Well & Ciao for Now!

Darlings and Cohorts,

Several months ago we began a journey, the Fairytale Experiment.

Our idea is to open up assumptions underlying our collective consciousness and reclaim the endless possibility and exuberance of the magical realms of our youth.

In weekly open workshops we began generating new fairytales and developing a Magical Real method of storytelling. Through this process we became a multi media theater collective.

This Spring we performed at festivals, parades and intimate venues, in the streets and parks and lofts of New York City...
Now we are embarking on the next phase... America...

The Fairytale Experiment is going on the road to share, explore and discover new stories.

Then for the weekend of July 10th through 12th we shall make a mission up to Maine for an all-weekend camping party to celebrate Duncan-fairy's birthday with live music, fairytale performances and magical screenings in the forest, while camping on a meridian vortex, much like a chakra of the earth...

We shall be passing back through NYC on the weekend of July 23rd through 27th, for the Mumbles album release party on a boat...
