DRIP | Blank Space Art Lounge

DRIP is where passion, dance, surreal imagination and unrestricted artistic expression all play together as one.  Their playroom for this evening was Blank Space, a new contemporary art lounge and coffee house in downtown Orlando that was founded by environmental artist Jefrë. The local performance art group DRIP premieres new performance art at Blank Space every 3rd Thursday, Friday and Saturday of the month as part of the Downtown Arts District's Third Thursdays.

As if I wasn't impressed enough by the show I saw on this night, I was then amazed when I started to research what else this group might be up to!  DRIP is an artist-in-residence at The Center for Contemporary Dance, as well as performing for conventions, trade shows, receptions, and special events.  Just have a look at the video below for a sneak peek and with interesting shows like; Paint in Motion, Wet, Fresh, Rapsodea Stoleand and short shows like;  Black light Waterfall Party, Competitive Wrestling, Liquid Light Projections, Aerial Waterfall, Yoga Multi-Media, Bent, Dirt and their "Paint by..." series, they have something to enthrall any audience. 

The next show that I hope to catch is Fresh.  "An edible garden of Eden incorporating, dance performance, appetizer vines, 10 foot waterfall, 12 foot canopy tree, art and candy market, live edible painting, strawberry bush, floral luge, the Rapsodea Stole Dessert Show and more."  It will be performed at the Cameo Theater the day before and on Valentine's Day.

Performers create and often become visual art themselves by blending dance, music, artistic mediums and props. DRIP redefines arts entertainment by interacting with paint, charcoal, sand, powder, fabric, culinary arts, blacklight paints, projected liquid light, watercolors and more.
