Who’s Becoming the Talk of the Town?

Monday, July 27th, 2009

Buzz about the Festival is beginning slowly but surely and Meow Meow is quickly becoming the talk of the town. Just last week local media expressed interest in seeing Meow Meow at the Festival and  St. Petersburg Times, who featured the Festival in this weekend’s Sunday paper, devoted some quality ”air” time to Meow Meow.  SX News, Australia’s famed LBGT publication, featured maestro Lance Horn who had this to say about Meow Meow: “The reason I drop everything to go around the world with her is the utter joy,” he tells SX. “Even in the midst of all the insanity and irreverence, there’s an intrinsic happiness that’s underneath all of it. Even if it’s manic on the surface, it’s just her love of what she’s doing that’s infectious. And she’s so proficient at working out exactly what the audience needs – and how to communicate by any means possible to get the point across. She also has a knack for picking the right/wrong person out of an audience – she’ll always pick the person with the medical problem. Or the critic!” 

I suspect that she will sell out pretty fast and I suggest you get  your tickets now.

Meow Meow In the Lead

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

For all of you dying to know who has the lead in ticket sales, wait no longer.  Drum roll please…Meow Meow. it is.  As I crawled the web looking for her most recent ditty, I came across, after purging all of the mentions of cats and kitties, some colorful reviews in various media outlets around the world of her Beyond Glamour: The Absinthe Tour which will be featured in Sarasota/Manatee. Is it your cup of tea?

Behind the Scenes

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

We at the Ringling Museum and the BAC are quickly learning what it takes to put together a international festival as we work hard behind-the-scenes to make sure everything goes as planned come October. Sure, it is still five months away, but we cannot rest on our laurels there is marketing to be done, travel arrangements to be made, and physical coordination of events to be organized, to name only a few. It takes more than just calling some artists and asking them to participate. It takes uber-organization skills, the ability to walk backwards in high-heels (figuratively speaking of course, unless you are Meow Meow who probably can do it in her sleep) and the ability to keep a sense of humor. The ride has been fun so far, stay tuned for more.

So Much to Experience!

Tuesday, May 12th, 2009

In less than five months, the Ringling International Arts Festival will be alive in Sarasota. The rich diversity of scheduled performances, exhibitions, and special events will provide an enriching experience for any arts enthusiast. The Festival will include world and US premieres, plus several works commissioned specifically for the Ringling International Arts Festival.

But who and what to see? Your choices include: contemporary art paired with Old Masters paintings, orchestra and chamber music, cabaret, traditional and experimental theater, Flamenco dance, contemporary dance, and so much more. Before single performance tickets go on sale this Friday, visit the Ringling International Arts Festival YouTube channel to preview video clips of the artists’ performances.

Then be sure to let us know who you plan to see.

International singing sensation and post post-modern showgirl Meow Meow descends on The Ringling International Arts Festival in a wild journey of obsessive love songs, tired old tricks, and gorgeous cabaret ditties. Touring globally with the Spiegeltent and a guest at venues from the Sydney Opera House to New York’s Lincoln Center, Meow Meow navigates the uncharted territory between Weimar era wit, 1930’s Shanghai show tunes, 60’s French pop, and post-punk hilarity, creating a parody of glitz that defies categorization.
