World Premiere of THIRTEEN'S SPRING Set for Hollywood Fringe
The Moving Art Collective, a movement-based theatre ensemble will premiere Thirteen's Spring, written by Amanda Jane Shank and directed by Fernando Belo, at the Hollywood Fringe Festival on June 4th, 2016 at The Actor's Company in Los Angeles.
This world premiere production of Thirteen's Spring is a 50-minute piece inspired by the words of Anne Frank. Thirteen's Spring delves into the weeks leading up to Anne receiving her diary and before her family goes into hiding. The universal relationship between father and daughter, the power of young love, and the dangerous events surrounding so many, come to life as history and inspired events are explored through movement and the powerful use of ensemble.
"This is so much more than a show about the Holocaust - the struggle and persecution of people is still happening today. Through this production we hope to connect on a deeper level with our audiences and offer them a new way to think about how persecution and intolerance affect families all over the world" Fernando Belo, Director of Thirteen's Spring.
Nora King plays Anne Frank and discusses the process of The Moving Art Collective: "The most rewarding part of this work is discovery. The way that gestures and movement allow me to connect emotionally with the story surprises me every time and I think the audience will feel the same way. It is truly a unique theatrical experience. The movements present in the piece are the culmination of the research our company did on the stories from this time as well as the news of families today being torn apart by war."
The Moving Art Collective invites you to see Thirteen's Spring at the Actor's Company LET LIVE Theater in Los Angeles on June 4th, 17th, 18th, 19th and 25th. Tickets and more information are available online at http://hff16.org/3379. Tickets are $12 for general admission.
