ABOUT US

Cock and Bull Theatre produces experimental theatre that embraces new technology, exploring contemporary resources within the creation and presentation of fantastical realism. The essence of Cock & Bull is theatrical work with a high level of design, at times campy, and often dark and a bit gruesome, and work that is slightly unproducible.

We bend the boundaries of gender, sexuality and societal norms with cross-gender casting and creating work or producing work that explores, exposes or deconstructs sexual identity. We wish to create fascinating alternate realities, transporting audiences from the common realm into new and exciting places.
YOU ARE PLEDGING TO PRODUCE TITANIC by CHRISTOPHER DURANG FOR COCK & BULL THEATRE IN CHICAGO

SINK OR SWIM!

Titanic by Christopher Durang is a bizzare comedy set on the SS TITANIC and shows the dysfunctionality and polymorphism of a turn of the century family.

“This is a really difficult play to do.” - Christopher Durang

About this project

Social awareness is alive in the streets of downtown Los Angeles…as a parade! On Sunday, October 2, 2011, at 11 am the streets of downtown Los Angeles will erupt in a parade of local artists and residents, complete with music, dancing and performance. The parade celebrates the culmination of Trespass, a collaborative project between Arto Lindsay, Rirkrit Tiravanija, and West of Rome Public Art. Help us make the revitalized historic Broadway come alive for this celebration of art, music, dance and community activism.

Trespass has commissioned over 60 Los Angeles-based artists to produce a statement—their call to action, pleasure and reciprocity. The statements printed on T-shirts in English and in Spanish will be worn as part of the parade. With the t-shirts serving as our unofficial uniforms, free speech will resound in the voices of the most influential contemporary artists, the youth of our time, and the diverse L.A. public.

Amazing performance artists, philosophers, musician, sound wizards and dancers, will make this an unforgettable moment for the cultural life in the streets of downtown L.A.

Trespass invites us all to gather in this time of world turmoil and change to rise up and speak out in spectacle.

Keep public art alive and keep us marching on! Donate Now so we reach our goal of 2,600 ft! Just $5 moves the float 1 whole foot! Trespass!

This project has been created to coincide with the opening of Pacific Standard Time, a collaboration of more than 60 cultural institutions across Southern California, who are coming together this fall for the first time to celebrate the birth of the L.A. art scene.

WAVE MANUAL will not be your standard, run-of-the-mill textbook. We intend to approach the book as a work of art that includes graffiti, paintings, flyers, broadcasts, and collaborative community projects that have taken place both within the Free Radio movement and in the construction of our text.

WAVE MANUAL will not simply be a theoretical exercise but a documentation of our complete immersion into the Micro-FM movement that includes travel to Mexico and around the U.S. to work with and interview participants of various Free Radio collectives.

Your donations go to travel expenses, the procurement of materials, and the publishing costs of WAVE MANUAL. We are extremely excited about the potentials of this project and we thank you for your donations.

Please visit the WAVE MANUAL Kickstarter page here to find more about and to support this project.

Cinematography Tyler Jamison
Written and Directed by Kathryn Garcia & Richard Lidinsky

SHAKEDOWN is the story of a black lesbian strip club in Los Angeles. The film is anchored in the stories of three women: Ronnie Ron, the creator and emcee of Shakedown, a large butch/stud lesbian and former Jehovah’s Witness; Egypt, a single mother, beauty pageant fanatic, and dedicated self - (re)inventor; and Jazmyne, the complicated and sometimes conflicted “Queen” of Shakedown. We go through the process of their labor with them and record what they do, and how they feel about what they are doing.

We need your help to complete the edit of the film, master the sound and score, color correct the images, fly to LA to shoot our final interviews with the dancers and have an amazing premiere in cities across America.

Second-Floor is pleased to present A Feast of Fools, an exhibition inspired by the exquisite corpse. Including the participation of over sixty artists, the exhibition reinterprets the corpse as a carnivalesque bacchanal where hierarchies between body parts dissolve into a throbbing hermaphroditic mass.

Opening: Saturday, October 23, 2010 from 2-5pm @
