Art Fest is here!

Me and my friend are back with enthusiasm in the art fest activities for this art fest season.

Here's some of my reviews on some of "arts on the move" events that i have seen so far...

The Invisible Men (UK)
They don’t speak but they will keep you entertained with their inimitably funny, fast-moving gags and visual trickery. Armed with water, popcorn and china plates, The Invisible Men will draw you into their marvellous world of mayhem and madness...

My thoughts: Two really funny guys that have lots of props and full of madness actions!!! Its a very interactive kind of performance.. i really enjoyed this performance although its only half an hr show. You cant help but to laugh, laugh and laugh :)
My likings:


Jon Hicks (UK)
Bigger
International Man of Artistry, Jon Hicks, delights and surprises with his outsized artworks executed with rapid-fire dexterity and comic flair. Witness art spring to life as this multi-talented artiste paints, draws, sculpts and creates origami to lively music.



My thoughts: A cool, artistic guy. He drew all 3 drawings within half an hour! His drawings captures my attention and yet cant figure out whats hes drawing until the last part of his artworks. He's a multi-talented guy indeed!
My likings:

Ecrans Tambours (Screen Drums)
Catch this unusual production that’s specially conceptualised and performed in water with ‘screen’ drums. It stars a group of musicians and actors together with members of a local community group.

Witness the unfolding of an original, contemporary tale that artfully combines rhythmic echoes, fluid movements and evolving reflections. Young and old will enjoy the universal language of percussion music.

My thoughts: I dont really enjoy this performance as their rhythmic sounds are quite monotonous.. nearly fall asleep until they jump into the water to get some of my attention :p
