About the event
Roger Clark Miller (Mission of Burma, Alloy Orchestra, Anvil Orchestra) hosts an evening of Exquisite Corpse games in our intimate community space. Participants will play riotous mind-bending games that were developed by Andre Breton and his co-conspirators during in the 1920's and '30's, the peak of surrealism. Thematic refreshments will be provided and Surrealistic attire is encouraged!
The consummate master of ceremonies, Miller will explain and lead the games and open the evening with an atmospheric live performance for prepared-piano on our baby grand.
About the games... "The Exquisite Corpse Shall Drink the New Wine."
Featured games will include the basic Exquisite Corpse word game, the basic Exquisite Corpse drawing game (advanced drawing skills are not required), the Dream Game, and other varieties of surrealist word games. Says Miller “The wonder of these games is the unexpected juxtapositions that occur, creating amazingly synchronistic sequences and unexpected meanings and connections.”
