Smack Dab Open Mic feat NIGHTSHADE

Multi-media fabulousness! It's the May edition of Smack Dab Open Mic, the longest running queer open mic in the Bay Area! All Genders! All Ages! All Free! Hosts Larry-bob Roberts and Dana Hopkins welcome you to Strut, where we are delighted to present our feature NIGHTSHADE and the hybrid of live performance and film, The Stag & Crane. Bring your poems, music, storytelling, art and love to our Open Mic and be prepared to sign up at 7:30 sharp if you'd like to share. The show itself starts at 8pm. About our feature: NIGHTSHADE describes his work as "shattered fragments of color, media, and philosophy". He creates fine art, lighting installations and film. NIGHTSHADE's piece,The Stag & Crane is a collaboration between classical art forms and technology. It's a fairy tale, based on William Shakespeare's Sonnets. About our Open Mic, you've got five minutes to perform. Bring five minutes or less of whatever you want to share. Musicians: one song only. Prose writers: that's about one and a half double spaced pages of prose. Poets that means one poem and one poem only. We do not promise to take our Open Miccers in order of signup. We tend to mix things up. We’re the friendliest open mic in town but you’ll find but we pay attention to time. We are proud to say that Strut is wheelchair accessible, and has accessible, gender neutral bathrooms. Come on out to the second floor of Strut, All are welcome! **NOTE**Queer youth are very welcome , but please note that we are hosted by a sexual health clinic and that the artistic content of our open mic as well as the art displayed at Strut is sometimes sexual and sex-positive in nature. ***
