Kid Koala Needs Your Help!
Montreal-based producer, DJ, and illustrator Kid Koala has just reached out to the world and announced a very exciting project that involves the love and support of all his fans. We thought that we would share it with you.
In December 2010 Kid Koala will be going to the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (MASS MoCA), www.massmoca.org, for a week-long creative residency to develop a family-oriented live show based on his soon-to-be released graphic novel/soundtrack project Space Cadet. During the residency, Kid Koala and his five-member creative team will live in the museum’s artist housing, build a set with the production staff, and perform the show (along with a Q&A session) on Saturday, December 11.
For his show at MASS MoCA, Kid Koala will perform Space Cadet’s soundtrack on six turntables and a piano. At the same time, images from the book will be recreated live on custom-made screens to create an all-encompassing experience.
MASS MoCA’s black box theater will be transformed into an intimate, living room-like environment, allowing the audience to have a personal experience of the work while sharing the space with others. The audience will watch the projections on stage while listening to Kid Koala’s performance of the soundtrack using headphones.
Donations to fund the residency, production costs, including artist housing,
equipment and technical services can be made here:
