A. Phillips News

Before the clones attacked, before the Na'vi Hometree was destroyed, before Buzz Lightyear went to infinity and beyond, avant-garde film and video pioneers were expanding the bounds of the moving image by harnessing computer technology to create radical new ways of seeing. Museum of the Moving Image will present a weekend program devoted to exploring early works of computer animation, organized by guest curators Leo Goldsmith and Gregory Zinman. This series of screenings and conversations, Computer Age: Early Computer Movies, 1952-1987, will take place today, November 15 through 17, 2013. Screenings include avant-garde works ranging from oscilloscope experiments to computer-assisted psychedelia; formative digital advertising and music videos; as well as feature films that incorporated these techniques into the mainstream.

From Egypt to Singapore, Morocco to Mexico, innovative theater director Thaddeus Phillips takes audiences on a tour of the planet's wildest frontiers with the world premiere of his solo theater work 17 BORDER CROSSINGS. On stage today, Nov. 13-17 at FringeArts' new waterfront headquarters (140 N. Columbus Blvd.), 17 BORDER CROSSINGS is based on Phillips' experiences crossing borders from one country to the next; the deceptively simple performance piece weaves these accounts into a dramatic, visual and surreal performance that is funny, haunting and surprisingly human.

For its 2013-2014 exhibition, Girls' Club engaged Miami artist team TM Sisters (sisters Monica and Natasha Lopez de Victoria) to collaborate with the collection of contemporary art by women owned by Fort Lauderdale collectors Francie Bishop Good and David Horvitz.

Two For One Comedy Night at The Wagon Wheel Theatre-WARSAW, Indiana (February 12, 2013) - Calling all folks needing a good laugh! On Saturday, March 9th, the Wagon Wheel Theatre presents two nationally touring comedians…at one low price! This dual/headlining night of comedy features Dave Dugan, who has appeared over 200 times on The Bob and Tom show over the past two decades and contributed to over 25 Bob and Tom albums. One of Dugan's most recognizable characters is the politically incorrect, old-school BART McCALLISTER (of Bart and Sid fame). Dave's ability to adapt to each audience has made him a highly sought after comedian. His first national exposure was on the then ratings-leading Arsenio Hall Show and since has (aside from Bob and Tom) become a regular at the world famous Comedy Store in Hollywood and also has appeared numerous times on HBO, COMEDY CENTRAL and VH-1. You have likely heard Dugan on national commercials, as well. Also an award-winning voice actor, Dave can be heard on commercials that include Ford, Disney, Subway, Bass Pro, Edge Gel, Troy-Built Firestone, Erie Insurance, Dick's Sporting Goods and as a weekly voice for NASCAR programming on SPEED.
