The Adventures of Pinocchio: A Reader for Avant-Garde Kids

JJ Lind — Mon, 07 Mar 2011 17:54:28 +0000

In April 2011, Immediate Medium will present the New York premiere of The Assassins Chase Pinocchio, our experimental performance piece for children young and old. As a companion piece, Immediate Medium is also publishing an illustrated version of Collodi’s 1883 text, freely adapted by the company and featuring artwork by London artist David Shillinglaw. Printed in black and white with a minimalist design and plenty of inviting white space, the books will come with a box of crayons to encourage young readers to color, complete, deface or otherwise transform the work as they see fit.

We are raising money for this project on Kickstarter, a new fundraising platform where IM supporters can provide financial backing to our project in exchange for tangible rewards. To learn more about the project, our rewards, or to make a pledge, just click the image below for some information prepared by our good friend and yours, the Talking Cricket.

“Once upon a time there lived…’a king!’ my little readers will say immediately. No, children, you are mistaken. Once upon a time there lived a piece of wood.” — Carlo Collodi, The Adventures of Pinocchio

In late Summer 2010, Immediate Medium will begin work on The Assassins Chase Pinocchio, a piece of avant-garde theater for children inspired by Carlo Collodi’s 1883 coming-of-age novel The Adventures of Pinocchio. As part of our initial period of research we will be holding a FREE four-week storytelling workshop series for children ages 5 through 8. Each week we will tell a section of the story aloud and invite children to participate in a variety of activities to help us distill the story and reinterpret its themes and imagery from the very avant-garde point of view of the child mind.

WORKSHOP DATES

To register your child, please RSVP to Max Dana at max [at] immediatemedium [dot] org. Space at the workshops is extremely limited and registration is on a first-come, first-served basis, so please contact us as soon as possible to guarantee a spot.

Attendance at every workshop is not mandatory but highly recommended as we are interested in exploring how children experience the story as a whole. If your child is unable to attend, please write to us and we will send you an audio recording of the story and schedule a one-on-one follow-up interview with your child.

IM’s Sketchbook Series features work at its earliest stages of development. Sketchbook projects are meant to be first passes, “half-baked” beginnings of a larger exploration that will later culminate in a full production. These showings enable us to involve our audience in every step of the creative process, from the earliest “sketch” of a new work to its full realization.

Thanks to all who came out and got their holiday juices flowing with us last Saturday at our 1st Annual Holiday Party and Silent Auction at the Tank. The spirited bidding (and spirited drinking) by everyone who attended made the event a huge success, and we far exceeded our fundraising goal for the evening. If you weren’t able to make it, be sure to check out some of the pictures below so you know what to wear to next year’s auction…where we will be waiting for you with a year’s supply of cupcakes, four bottles of premium whiskey, a lasagna-making lesson and a yoga session for your baby.
