24/7
For the first time ever we actually have it all for you all. Learn slapstick, sewing and aerial from the best, see performance art at its weirdest, and then again at its nakedest later on in the week, AND although we promised no more dance parties ever again, we were talked into squeezing one in anyways….it wasn’t so bad after all, and only one person tagged our fancy bathroom.

Slapstick Dojo: Learn to Fall Funny
The Slapstick Dojo teaches physical comedy using martial arts techniques. Students will learn how to trip, slip, fall down, and slap each other in safe and funny ways. This conflict may be between individuals, between a person and an object, or between a person and his environment. The class operates similar to a yoga or martial arts class, where students of all skill levels are encouraged to come to “workout” and further develop technique. Borrowing ideas from martial arts training such as Kata and Waza the Slapstick Dojo aims to teach slapstick techniques and classic slapstick gag structure.
5-25$ sliding scale!

Bloody Noes: American Dream
From Upstate NY, we bring to you special guests Bloody Noes…. costumed duo MC Drywall (priestly hulk) and DJ Cardboard (shadowy sylph). Bloody Noes brings to us, American Dream: A non-sensical theatrical experiment in demented experience and America. Expect to be fully entertained by variety acts, music/noise, body activity/dance, pantomime, and lots of homemade props. Hilarious, hypnotic, and horrifying. This is a 45 minute adventure of extreme extremes.
Bloody Noes has been described as… ” Noise, yet poignant, Noise, yet fairytale-like. Interpretive dance meets DIY scene, pornographic”.. and “creativity as a terroristic act”. This is a rare opportunity to see how weird things can get in Rochester, NY. Need a sneak preview? Check out www.myspace.com/bloodynoes
