Recently, I’ve been thinking about the idea of humble performers and small audiences. I imagine that there are millions of ‘hobby’ artists out there who don’t aspire to super stardom, but would like to perform before a small, encouraging audience. There are two problems to this approach–finding venues, and connecting willing audience members (or ‘on the bench’ artists) with performers.
Via Beyond Robson, In the House appears to have solved these problems:
The concept of the festival is to have a multitude of performances within people’s living rooms and back yards. Performances include music, theater, dance, spoken word, film, story-telling, comedy, and much more.
The proximity of the audience to the performers creates a warm sense of intimacy that is rarely if ever found in traditional venues. A relationship is created and both the artist and the audience come out with a new appreciation for what the performance means.
Great concept, tres old-school website. Would someone get these guys a Bryght site?
