“Passing Strange” on Broadway

⊆ May 10th, 2008 by Ellen Kushner | ˜ No Comments »

If the IAF gave out a Theater Award, I’d vote for this show to get it.  Using classic “if only the word ‘interstitial’ were in common use for arts reviewers” language, the New York Times reviewer raved:

“Call it a rock concert with a story to tell, trimmed with a lot of great jokes. Or call it a sprawling work of performance art, complete with angry rants and scary drag queens. Call it whatever you want, really. I’ll just call it wonderful….”

He then went on to describe another great interstitial theme:  “The story of a young man achingly out of place in the world, trying on poses and assuming new guises in his quest for an identity that, as he will ultimately learn, many artists can only find in their art.”

Even if you can’t get to NYC to see the show (get discount tix on TDF or Broadwaybox.com), there’s a great interactive website with music for Passing Strange.

Is all Stew’s music interstitial?

IAF on GoodReads

The IAF has just set up a Virtual Reading Group on the fabulous GOODREADS site, for IAF friends to exchange book recommendations and discuss what we’ve been reading. It’s a wonderful place to read and post reviews of interstitial writing. We’d love to have you join us — just go here and click the “Join this Group” button. If you’re already a GoodReads member, you’ll be added right away; if not, you’ll be asked to register (for free). Hope to see you there — and, of course, if you do join, please be sure to invite your friends and post a link on your blog or homepage.


Major website update!

⊆ December 27th, 2007 by stephen | ˜ 2 Comments »

Welcome to the new Interstitial Arts Foundation website! We loved our artistic old site, but as the IAF has grown over the past year, we’ve found that we need a more easily updated dynamic site architecture. Hence this new layout, powered by WordPress, and attempting to incorporate in one easy location the various online activities in which we’ve been engaged: essays on the foundation’s philosophical underpinnings from the old site, our discussion board and “interstitial salon,” and the Interfictions blog.

We’ll be working out the kinks (and continuing to fill in archived content from the old site) in weeks to come — and the IAF being what it is, of course, we’re prone to ongoing evolution. Please feel free to comment below or drop a line with any thoughts you might have!
