(Los Angeles, Ca) (September, 2009)The future is here. For over seven years Combined Artforms Tilted Frame has been working with live video, internet and improv to the delight of audiences in Los Angeles and San Francisco. And now they bring it all together in Tilted Frame Live Improv Between Los Angeles and San Francisco. For the first time in improv history Tilted Frame will bring together its two companies to perform a show for two cities at the same time.
We will be bringing some old favorites like Snapshots and News Report, now with a cross city twist. Be a part of history and tell your cross state friends. Two Cities, One Show, Live Internet.
Starting during the dot com revolution Tilted Frame has been pushing the envelope of multi-media production. Opening with Taste Like Random in the summer of 2002, Tilted Frame uses video and the internet in a way no other company has used them before. With a skilled group of improvisers their techniques have been viewed by various playwrights who have used them in their own works. Now, with companies in Los Angeles and San Francisco they have further experimented with the format of the show, leading up to this cross state performance.
Combined Artform (Formerly-C.A.F.E.- Combined Art Form Entertainment) has been producing new and old works as well as being an active supporter in the performance scene for over ten years. Created by Producing Artistic Director Matthew Quinn and Bertha Rodriguez in 1998, they were joined by Steve Kahn in 1999, and have collaborated with actors, singers, filmmakers, sketch comedy groups, musicians, improvisers, and fine artists in hundreds of shows, including Santaland Diaries, Eavesdropper (SF), Papa, Tilted Frame SF & La, the SF Solo Festival, and recently with PianoFight on Shortlived and Forking (La). They built Off-Market Theaters in 2005 and took over Theatre Asylum in Los Angeles in 2007. They continue to develop the connection between SF and La as well different arts and artists to be a part of the evolution of performance and production. www.combinedartform.com
