Hi Everybody,
We're more the half way there---do you know anyone you can forward this too hasn't already pitched in? We're really close!
Meanwhile: here are some photos Stephanie took from outside the tent at Noorderzon on opening night. Look at all those happy Dutch people! Wow!
Thank you again for all your support and warm wishes.
Best regards,
Xtina and Latitude 14
Update #2: Photos from Groningen!
Hi Everybody,
We made it back! All the people, that is--the set is in a container on the docks in Rotterdam, getting ready for it's month-long journey home. We've still a ways to go to get the bill paid by the time it gets here!
For your perusal: some of the stunning photos taken by Noorderzon's photographer Pierre Borasci.
I am pleased to report that we were very well received--we got a rave review review in the Dagblad Noorden and both shows were 95% sold out (440 people the first night; 410 the second)!
More news soon,
Xtina and L14

Mission
Latitude 14 is a new-media performance collective whose work excavates the memory of objects and blurs the boundaries of concert, theater, and installation.
Latitude 14 provides a framework for the artist-driven projects of its affiliates. These include its founders: Christina Campanella (composer/performer), Stephanie Fleischmann (writer), Peter Norrman (video artist/filmmaker), and Mallory Catlett (director), who began working together in 2005, and were quickly joined by Mirit Tal (media designer), Chris Lee (singer & writer), Jesse Hawley (performer), Miranda Hardy (lighting designer), Matt Verta-Ray (musician/visual artist), Jeremy Wilson (sound design/engineer), and collaborating artists Sam Baker (multiinstrumentalist), Jim Findlay (set designer), Erich Schoen-Rene (cellist), Olivera Gajic (costume designer), Black-Eyed Susan (performer), and Maedhbh Mc Cullagh (producer).
History
Red Fly/Blue Bottle is Latitude 14’s second project to reach fruition. The first was Tinder, a 30-minute live-art/video installation, which premiered at the EXIT Festival in Creteil, March, 2009. Red Fly/Blue Bottle was developed via a three-year residency at HERE Arts Center, as well as residencies at Gertrude Stein Repertory’s Digital Performance Institute, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council’s Swing Space, The Chocolate Factory (Long Island City) and Chashama. Excerpts and works-in-progress have been presented at HERE, The Chocolate Factory, Prelude ’07, BRIC and PS 122’s Avant-Gardarama. The full production premiered at HERE Arts Center April 8–May 2, 2009.
Latitude 14 has received support from the Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation, New York State Music Fund, NYSCA Individual Artists program (Film, Media and New Technology Production and Theater commissioning), the Greenwall Foundation, the Tobin Foundation, the David Bohnett Foundation, American Music Center, Meet the Composer, Experimental Television Center, and numerous individuals.
