CULTURE ALERT: Neil Arthur James is Dandy Darkly ... and one of the most important voices to appear on the performance art political scene in the last four years. I have been blown away by both his larger that life Shakespearean-ish John the Baptise-in-the-Desert or Joan-of -Arc at the stake persona with a prophetic voice warning of the on coming collapse of what we call society . While sharpened on his insightful gaze as a gay bear his target is much wider. I have been shocked by his bravado and troubled by the heightened and insightful sense of crisis delivered with a dandyish and delicious wickedness.. Dixon Place is the preeminent downtown incubator space dedicated to the development of new work and provides a space to do that in workshop ... tonight out of his theatrical persona James will present his work-in-process so the words not the theatricality will be the center of attention. Like Penny Arcade working out in public her new piece at Joe's Pub., Darkly's goal is perfecting Trigger Happy! for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August, NOTE: this will take place upstairs in the bar lounge area .. limited space ..first come ..first seated .Free. I will be there
