Stomp @ Fox Theatre
STOMP is explosive, provocative, sexy, sophisticated, electrifying, utterly unique and appeals to audiences of all ages. The international percussion sensation has garnered an armful of awards and rave reviews, and has appeared on numerous national television shows. The eight-member troupe uses everything but conventional percussion instruments – matchboxes, wooden poles, brooms, garbage cans, Zippo lighters, hubcaps – to fill the stage with magnificent rhythms. From its beginnings as a street performance sensation in England, STOMP has grown into an international phenomenon! As USA Today says, “STOMP finds beautiful noises in the strangest places.”

The Mandrake and Cathedral (two shows on one bill!) @ New American Shakespeare Tavern
ASC is pleased to introduce this special series of plays consisting of all-time favorites of Artistic Director Jeff Watkins- plays which will make your stomach hurt from laughing and your soul soar to heights that can only be reached at The Shakespeare Tavern. Don't miss this special double bill made just for you this January.
The Cathedral by Bo Ketchin
The evening begins with a magical tale of music and mystery, celebrating sight, sound and ultimately life. This story of a young man who can literally "see" music leads him to a Cathedral on a journey of discovery, where reality becomes a vision, and vision is transformed to a new reality. Complete with a musical score by Bo Ketchin under the music direction of Matthew Trautwein, "Cathedral" will take you to new levels of wonder and joy.
The Mandrake by Nicolo Machiavelli
The evening continues with with this outrageous comedy- the very comedy that ASC took to the London Globe in 1995. Featuring the comic genius of Jeff McKerley and a breakthrough performance by Paul Hester, this play is fused with the best of comedia del arte in this story of a man who will do anything to get the beautiful young wife of a rich old man. Enter disguises, fantastic musical interludes, plus a zany servant played by ASC's own Marc McPherson, and hilarity ensues.

PORTRAITS and FIGURES: The Work of Sunaura Taylor @ VSA Arts of Georgia
Ms. Taylor, a nationally known artist, was recently awarded the Grand Prize in the 2004 Driving Force national juried art competition, co-sponsored by the VSA arts Home Office in Washington, D.C. and Volkswagen of America. The 22-year-old Taylor (known as “Sunny”) was inspired to paint by her mother, also a painter, at the age of 12. Sunny was home-schooled as a child in Athens, GA, and is a self-taught artist who taught herself to paint “old master style,” through rigorous independent study of classical techniques and art history, supported by countless hours of work alone in her studio. For more information, contact Ms. Jaehn (“Jane”) Clare, Director of Artistic Development 404/221.1270, ext. 202.

Behind the Big Green Button: Digital Furniture Design Revealed @ Museum of Design
The Museum of Design collaborates with the Advanced Wood Products Laboratory of the Georgia Institute of Technology for the premier viewing of Behind the Big Green Button: Digital Furniture Design Revealed. The Advanced Wood Laboratory, as a research unit of the College of Architecture at the Georgia Institute of Technology, began holding a very unique class this semester. Unlike most schools in the country, GA Tech has access to state of the art Italian Computer Numeric Control (CNC) equipment - the very machines used to mass production. Industrial design students in the course learn the basic techniques and methods used in the production of furniture, but also learn them in conjunction with this sophisticated technology. What's so special about that? Few schools emphasize the idea of production, instead of on the artistsic or craftsman mode of furniture building, in which duplication of a single pieces of furniture would require days, if not months, of work. That is not to say that the objects created by Tech's students are not works of art. Quite the contrary! Each of the works displayed at the Museum of Design is expressive and innovative - and once designed on the CNC machines, can be reproduced rapidly. Executive Director of the Museum of Design, David Webb, says of the exhibition, "this is the beginning of an exciting collaboration with Georgia Tech's Industrial Design program that we hope can be developed into an annual event."
