THE TANK SPACE FOR PERFORMING AND VISUAL ARTS

Orphans:
Orphans is a three piece band originally from Westchester, NY (but two of us now live in Brooklyn). A new full length album is currently in the works. "Brooklyn's electronic penetration team. Watch your pants." - Allen Roizman http://www.myspace.com/orphansnewyork

Speak Onion:
Speak Onion's love/hate relationship with the break-beats manifests itself as decidedly break-y music, but with the beats abusively processed beyond recognition and drowning in gobs of feedback and noise. Metabolor, the new full-length on Immigrant Breast Nest, is the most focused and intense Speak Onion work to date and the live sets to support it are poised to destroy destroy destroy. http://www.myspace.com/speakonion

peopling:
peopling is a noise duo out of brooklyn, ny. formed in may 2008, their first EP will be released summer 2009 by the experimental music label Discos Buen Pony based in Valencia, Spain. http://www.myspace.com/ispeopling

"GDFX's 'Choose your Emanation' is the melancholy kosmische beginning of a gravitational ascent into an orgone-powored lunar elevator, it bristles with the foreboding beginning of a Hawkwind mushroom trip glimmer & vibrato, and it does definitely take you into a strange black zone where golden specks of cosmic dust swirl in their eternal hex dance, causing a mild erosion in your left auditory channel which is the echo of alien transmissions projected from beyond a star that perished aeons ago." -20jazzfunkgreats

SLAM Theater invites artists and audiences to get involved in the process of making theater. Playwrights bring fresh scripts, and actors are called out of a hat to perform timed segments, completely unrehearsed. After each round, the judges score the plays, moving the top-scoring plays to the next round. Winning writers get to unveil more of their work, acting as director or bringing one in to give timed notes. SLAM is an evening of theater with impromptu performance,
spontaneous collaboration, and friendly competition.

Now in it's third year, SLAM Theater continues to encourage new voices, opening up a stage for diverse writers to develop work. SLAM is open to everyone. Anyone can come in, throw down a script, put their name in the actor pool, and get involved. A community has grown around SLAM -- a group of artists who come regularly to support each other, and give each other honest feedback in a raw, immediate setting. Each month, our SLAM Champion is given The Tank's space to put on a staged reading of their work. Many artists come and end up making strong connections and creative relationships that continue to develop outside of SLAM. SLAM is always growing and expanding. Actors, bring your talent. Playwrights, bring your scripts. Audience, bring your voice. Come SLAM!

Unable to delay his deadline any further, Adam must complete his masterpiece tonight… a night where he is plagued by little things like break ups, pregnancies, cancer and the mob. The Block is a compelling and comedic look at a writer trying to do what’s right.
