ZINE 1: The Mary Wallopers & Arena & Vaudeville Clairsentience in NYC
This zine will blow your mind, feel good to touch, and rest wonderfully in your hands.
It concerns Irish American and Black American performance in NYC, specifically two shows I saw in fall of 2023.
Show One: The Mary Wallopers and Sam Shackelton at Irving Plaza.
Show Two: “Arena”, by Artist Derek Fordjour, Choreographer Sidra Bell, and Composer Hannah Mayree performed at Petzel Gallery.
Seemed like the Vaudeville was alive in well, but in a way that felt very surprising and releasing. The possibilities for a collective de-colonial explosion seem high. Are the forgotten vaudeville thoroughfares - The Bowery, 14th St./Union Square and Tin Pan Alley - actually still running shit?
