While experimental theatre is no stranger to the Bar Barracuda – “Do I look like I wanted to danced with her, come on baby stop worrying!” – patrons were treated to the real thing last week in what was a sharp and stimulating show. Put on by Samestuff Theatre, a newly-formed group Vietnamese artists in their late teens and early-twenties, the show lasted for about an hour and drew a respectable

After our performance on 11 February 2006 at Bar Barracuda, we received many positive comments from the audience. Thanks to the efforts of 7 members in SameStuff Theatre, besides performance work we had to run up and down taking care of every single thing.., huge amount of work.. but the result was worth the effort! Also thanks to everybody at Bar Barracuda for being so nice and helpful to us!

So, as poor and desperate as we are, what can make fast money? Our own faces!!!!Plaster of Paris is known for medical purpose. It was not easy to buy as Ly was refused once by Vietnam-Germany hospital because she didnot know what size her "doctor" recommended, several medical stores also confirmed that only V-G hospital sells plaster of paris. A 20 cm roll of plaster paris costs 35 thousands VND,

9.00 am: met at Ly's home for S.A.S preparation. The "young fairy" only got out of bed as we knocked on her door. However as she explained how she only went to be at 5am because of S.A.S, we forgave her!We spent the afternoon for group reconstruction, we thought it must be tough for everybody but surprisingly things went by quite gently! We actually got to understand each other much better. As

We were really lucky to have Truong, a known hip hop dancer in Hanoi, helping our baby with technical part of hip-hop dancing. On a side note, Ly has been so excited and she is persuading Truong to trade hip hop with her salsa..Many of SameStuff members are busy with their own work and study, but we are glad to still have time to rehearse and plan SameStuff's future. We hope S.A.S will be a

We changed the performance to a less serious one, an unborn baby's mission. The unborn baby in our performance drinks coffee every morning, learns how to cry correctly, and dances hiphop. Tomorrow a hiphop dancer will come and help us in hip hop movements. By the way, any of you out there thinking you have got physical skills worth sharing, please contact us!

Tet is coming, but SameStuff team is working hard to prepare for S.A.S We started well with Marina's warm-up. Notice the back drop, it took us 1 hour to set it up!!! The back drop is made of 2 table clothes stiched together, extended by nylon string. We need it for shadow experiment. If we zoom the photo further, you will see that one end of the back drop is tied to a pile of 3 tables laying on

Right, we are talking about devised theatre where a playwright means "very little right in the play". To be clearer, it means a responsible person who takes note and records every single words and detail while rest of the team are devising the piece, similar to a person who takes minute in a meeting. That's how SameStuff team create theatre. Anything can come out of anything. history of a

Starving Artist Support is SameStuff's fundraising innitiative. This will be an event featuring selective international and vietnamese artists in Hanoi who are doing COOL stuff but too poor to support themselves. (Let's be honest here)The event will be hosted for 50-70 guests who are artistic and financially generous. Interactive physical theatre, photo exhibition, ..and invisible stuff will sure

Today we had a visitor who is our friend Marina, a professional dancer from Switzerland. We have not been able to exploit her yet, but her presence made us want to show off and we benefit that ourselves.Interesting physical exercises led by Doan in the morning, yes, we enjoyed being animals, especially those that don't exist on earth. AND we would love to see how Doan plays the animal's a$$ that

Luckily we could borrow a large meeting room (yes, smooth floor and with a place to pee) for our activity this Sunday, and SameStuff will have its first physical rehearsal of the year in 8th January 06. For our coming production, we are still at an early stage of collecting devising material. Notes for SameStuff members:- Bring a bottle of drinkable water with you, we are saving every penny for

Hi there,I was born in 12 August 1981.
