Curtain Razors presents The Extras

Curtain Razors in collaboration with the Saskatchewan Filmpool Cooperative and Common Weal Community Arts, is pleased to present international inter-disciplinary performance artists from the UK, Szuper Gallery: Susanne Clausen and Pavlo Keresty, for the performance/installation of "The Extras", August 23, 2008 at 8:30pm, in the Queen Elizabeth II Court, at the front of Regina City Hall.

"The Extras" is a performance/installation referencing the form of a film shoot with local actor Michele Sereda, 20 local background performers and camera, lighting and sound crews. "The Extras" will explore the experiences, stories, and incidences that have happened to real extras on specific Regina film shoots and on films shot in Hollywood and around the world. Contextualizing local film history with world cinema, "The Extras" gives the audience a performer's eye-view of the amazing, and sometimes confusing, contradictory or even absurd world of the people and actors who have worked as background performers.
