STAGESCENE LA

"...Levi Gadson, Gisela Valenzuela, and Dicapria have designed an outrageously funny, ingenious set and the props to go with it.  Everything is HUGE, in order to make the full-sized cast seem little by comparison.  Some items are two and three times their normal dimensions: doors and doorknobs, beds, tables, lamps, phones, wine glasses, cigarettes, cigarette lighters, toilet paper rolls, dumbbells, etc. There’s also some very clever prop business, e.g. it’s necessary for the characters to move the phone receiver from one position to listen to another in order to speak. ..."

Dicapria's new endeavors have led her to form a production team with partner, Michael Pukac called "The Imaginary Light Bulb Factory".

The main focus of this group thus far has been to create a series of shows called "Tableau Vivant Nouveau". This live performance envolves paintings being brought to life through originally composed music, choreography, and puppet performance.

These Tableau's have been performed in formal gallery settings, underground theater, and a puppet festival in Florida. Currently, we are searching for more performance artists, venues, and producers to collaborate on future Tableau's in the Los Angeles area.

A brand new project called Tableau Vivant Nouveau: "Art Come to Life", featured two paintings actually coming to life through a scene designed to replicate the paintngs and also featured performance artists bringing the piece to life through music, song, dance, and puppetry. The shows were a great success and got reviews from the Sarasota Herald Tribune and Creative Loafing, as well as the cover image on Senses Magazine May 2007 issue.

Dicapria was one of the puppet designer/builders for the upcoming film, "Misfit Heights",-Unfettered Entertainment, being filmed this summer 2008.

Dicapria built 23 puppets for the film including a giant 4ft zombie puppet head and hands. The hands grab, twist, point, and the eyes light up, and mouth chomps. You can check out the pictures of the puppets in my portfolio.

Please stay tuned for release dates and screenings. More pictures and information can be found at http://www.misfitheights.com
