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.

Invitation for May 2nd
Dearests & Darlings, Fairies, Collaborators & Cohorts,
This Saturday, May 2nd, we invite you for the first taste of
Fairytale Theater Experiment
Performance begins at 8pm.
The doors to fairyland open at 7:30pm.
Saturday, May 2nd. At 8pm we will enter fairyland together.
For the coordinates RSVP to miss@cspotdesigns.com
The event is free ($5 suggested donation and cheap drinks!)
Feel free to dress for the occasion… wear your wings.
This is the Premiere Public performance of Fairytale Theater Experiment,
an open arts performance troupe of collaborative invention.
We hope to see you there!
The story:
We began with the idea of crafting a collective fairytale project.
We gathered a diverse group of artists interested in exploring the
core of fairytales and their subliminal affect on our lives.
We created a weekly workshop in which we collaborate to
create new fairytales.
We share memories, stories and visions.
Through writing and drawing, movement and voice explorations, we
develop a shared fairytale context. Then we create the vignettes; our
new fairytales. We divide into groups to brainstorm and stage instant
magical plays to perform for the other groups. We have chosen five of
them to share
with you this Saturday.
Please Note: the program for this evening is for adults only.
In our first explorations of fairytales we were drawn to start with an
exploration of a magical world that speaks more to adults. In this
performance we ask, "How do we reclaim the magic and re-frame
the themes to support progressive ideals?"
This is only the beginning. Look for more kid-friendly Fairytale
Theater Experiments this summer . . .
