Dreaming Of Saint Stephen, Texting and Sasha Colette on RFC 138

"Helio McFadden" in the Space Opera
FestivALL may be over in the streets of Charleston, but it still lives on here in the PopCult blog. Today we’re going to revisit “Saint Stephen’s Dream: A Space Opera,” which was staged by WestVirginiaVille.com at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation last weekend.
We bring you a bit of the beginning of Douglas Imbrogno’s magnum opus, and we mix in Austin Susman’s entry in the Silent Film Competition. The show wraps up with Kentucky chanteuse Sasha Colette, performing in Davis Park, just two days ago.

We are driving into the second week of Radio Free Charleston’s ridiculously extensive coverage of FestivALL 2011. The clip you see up there is Radio Free Charleston 137, Part Five of our FestivALL 2011 coverage. Today’s show takes music recorded at the Derick Kirk Memorial Concert last Wednesday and combines it with dance recorded all over town during FestivALL.
Our music performed live at Capitol Roasters is provided by the Velvet Nomads, Comparsa, and The Voodoo Katz.

Our featured dancers include the Capitol High School Dance Company, Mandy Petry, Brian Roller, Kevin Pauley, and Jeff Bukovinsky of the No Pants Players, Jenna Brooke Swanson and Raqs Shakti, Professor Danger, Kathleen Coffee, the Trillium Performance Art Company, and That Guy In Davis Park. Apologies go out to the Capitol High Dance Company for getting their name wrong in the show. We will correct that later in the week when they return.
This whole show was a lot of fun to edit, so you might see another dance montage later in the week. In the coming days, you will see episodes of Radio Free Charleston loaded with footage from “Saint Stephen’s Dream: A Space Opera,” the after-hours cafe’, the Silent Film Competition, the 72 Hour Film Challenge, the Capitol Street Art Fair, the Hale Street Antique Fair, XMCW’s LuchaFest, plus music from Sasha Collette, WATT4, Kathleen Coffee, Miss Behavin, and stuff we can’t remember at the moment.
Part four of Radio Free Charleston’s FestivALL 2011 coverage comibnes The East End Main Street Streetworks Art Auction with The Music Works/Songwriternight.com Songwriter Invitational. You’ll see plenty of the Streetworks brick art, plus MC Ted Brightwell, along with music from Sierra Ferrell, Don Baker, John Radcliff and John Lilly.
Today’s special FestivALL 2011 episode of Radio Free Charleston features music from The Kingfish Five, Joseph Hale, 600 lbs of SIn and Uncle Eddy and Robyn. There are also scenes from Sunday Funday at The Clay Center and Dr. Sketchy’s Anti Art Show.
We’re going to do one more of these this week, then return Monday with even more FestivALL madness!
Above you see our second episode of Radio Free Charleston’s FestivALL 2011 coverage. Though delayed by a storm, we are still attempting to go daily. This episode of RFC shines a spotlight on FestivALL’s theatrical offerings, with clips from “St. Stephen’s Dream,” CYAC’s “Easier Than The Truth,” The No Pants Players and CLOG’s “Thoroughly Modern Millie.” We also have music from WATT 4 and Bare Bones.
Check back Wednesday for yet another episode of RFC, with scenes from Sunday Funday at The Clay Center, plus music from The Kingfish Five and 600 Lbs of Sin and more!
At the top of this post you see Radio Free Charleston number 133, the first of our shows devoted to FestivALL 2011. We don’t know how many episodes we will devote to FestivALL this year.Last year, we did six episodes during FestivALL, with anadditional episode of leftover material in September. We also don’t know how fast and furious these will come at you, so you’ll want to check PopCult every five or ten minutes for the next two weeks.
This episode includes footage of the FestivALL Art Parade. This is just a fraction of the parade footage we have. Don’t fret, you’ll be seeing much more of the parade in the coming days.
At the top of the post you will find Radio Free Charleston number 132, “Ren and Stimpy Shirt.” This special pre-FestivALL episode includes music from Wiley Sonic, The Voodoo Katz, and The Poor Taters, plus belly dancing from Jennifer Brooke Swanson, and animation by yours truly.
Host segments were shot on a sunny Sunday morning on Charleston’s historic East End in front of Glen Brogan’s brand new mural on the side of the Bluegrass Kitchen. We’ve been fans of Glen’s for some time, even wearing one of his shirts back on episode 95and it’s a kick to see his wonderful art in such a large format outdoors in front of God and everybody.
