THE MITCH SHOW

Saturday January 28, 2012 - 8:00 pm

The Mitch Show is the convergence of the two lives of Mitchell Rose—a former choreographer/ performance artist, now a filmmaker whose offbeat films have won 54 festival awards. His works are screened around the world both on television and in locations as diverse as the Getty Museum and the CBS JumboVision in Times Square. The Mitch Show is a film/performance mashup, an evening that brings together his comic films and audience participation performance pieces. It appeals to those who love film, theater, dance, and comedy.

Some of the works presented include: Modern Daydreams, a suite of four Chaplinesque films including Deere John, a pas de deux between a man and a 22 ton John Deere excavator. It has won 20 awards. Also,  Case Studies from the Groat Center for Sleep Disorders, a faux-scientific investigation of sleep disorder as we're privileged to glimpse rare archival footage from the renowned (but fictitious) Groat Center. Not a yawner.

"Mr. Rose is a rare and wonderful talent," pronounces TheNew York Times, the heaviest newspaper in the world.
The Washington Post has described his work as "in the tradition of Chaplin, Keaton, and Tati— funny and sad
and more than the sum of both."
