and Bookshop Theatre have in common besides being possibly some of LA’s most talented, award winning and provocative artists… how about they are all performing new works at EdgeFest LA’s 12X12 festival on June 30th. Selected from over 70 submissions, the twenty companies/performers where chosen by an EdgeFest curatorial committee compiled of local LA artists.
This 12 hour festival will present works in all stages of development from 7 minutes to an hour, presented on 3 stages, with some of LA’s hottest DJ’s spinning music including Jason Kramer, host of KCRW's The Sound System; Rani De Leon; Camille Brown; and DJs from LA’s notorious Dublab. The evening will be presented at one of downtown LA’s grittiest—yet glamorous—venues, the Regent Theatre which used to be an adult movie theatre.
“We have always been about cultivating daring new work and taking risks and 12X12 is about as down and dirty as it gets,” says EdgeFest Board Member, Ray Simmons. “The artists in this year’s festival are an eclectic mix of everything LA art has to offer.”
This program is made possible by a grant from the City of Los Angeles, Department of Cultural Affairs.
Since 1999, The Edge of the World Theater Festival has been a grassroots celebration of Los Angeles theater artists. Its mission is "to contribute to the evolution of theater in Los Angeles, to broaden and strengthen the audience for our work, and to inspire Los Angeles theater artists to create innovative and exciting pieces that are unique to the theatrical experience and push the boundaries of what is possible.”
