An Audience with Elizabeth

I am recently involved in the performance 'An Audience With Elizabeth', part of the ongoing project 'The Gourilla Couture MOVIEMINT'. The profile of Lady Elizabeth in Facebook is for communicating next performances and concept of the project.

A MULTI - PLATFORM CINEMATIC EXPERIENCE

A Playground for Imagination

'audience with ELIZABETH' is a Performance Art Movie Theatre. Which means we aim to create a live theatrical experience that we capture on film.

This Wednesday is the first event of its kind and part of a two year development plan to bring about THE GEURILLA COUTURE MOVIEMINT.

MOVIEMINT is an eco-dynamic arts movement where films about ‘new worlds’ and ‘new points of view’ are a catalyst for invention, innovation and cultural healing.

The eco-dynamic concept fuses artisan skills, environmental and cultural awareness to promote commercially constructive community living, products and a process that contribute to a more creative global economy.

The MOVIEMINT concept is designed to embrace and address our world in crisis with opti-vision, courage and style. This style is GEURILLA COUTURE - 30% new 70% old.

MOVIEMINT aims to maximize capital returns, fair trade and social benefit by engaging the audience from the onset of the development and production process - audiences with the characters, Front line club nights and

live movie theatre events cultivate an intimate and dynamic relashionship with the target audiences. The films have emphasis on cultural healing, stand up as valuable works of art in themselves as well as being a ‘shop

front’ to promote new ideas, artists, products and art forms.

MOVIEMINT’s premiere project is a series of 4 full length feature films - ‘The Royall Franchise’.

A present day ‘Wonderland’ style ‘female Bond’ fantasy drama about an odyssey to a ‘new world’. Led by the reincarnation of Elizabeth I & Ladies of her ‘Enigma’ court - otherwise known as the women next door who

just happen to be eight goddesses who have come to save the earth! As the women use beauty and thought to rescue the world from a tyrannical demon king, an epic cinematic adventure invested with magic,

chicanery, supernatural events, political and familial intrigue unfolds...

THIS WEDNESDAY

We will be introducing the world of the film for the first time so it is quite lose and experimental.

There will also be a lucky dip where people can win a 10min massage or a private audience with the Queen. Tickets will also be sold for dinner.

Here volunteers are COURTIERS OF ENIGMA COURT and create an improvised performance art scene in front of the venue to welcome and attract the audience.
