“There’s really no secret to our approach. We keep moving forward- opening new doors and doing new things because we are curious. And curiousity keeps leading us down new paths.”

Walt Disney

Tell Stories People Have Never Heard

RedGrave For Your Files July 21, 2022 Leave a reply

This Facebook group remains the largest gathering of bizarrists in history. Remember you are free to contribute ideas or videos or ask the group of luminary illuminata for feedback.

If you search in the group for “For your files” or “Must be useful” you’ll find over a decade’s worth of ideas that could transform your show. Telling stories people have never heard will make you unique and memorable.

Also being that the green board is dead, feel free to recruit some of those holdouts to join us here.

If you have a local gathering you’d like to post an event for, feel free. It’s great to see a vibrant, decentralized community of true magickal artists.

Just a note, if you are looking for inspiration for an effect, use the group – that’s what it’s here for.

And I’m a firm believer in going outside of the “normal” topics and presenting interesting stories and artifacts that people have never heard of but are true (as far as they can google). Seeing and hearing something new grabs audiences.

Just do a search in the group for “For your files”’ and you’ll see there is method to my madness – hundreds of unusual topics from around the world accumulated over years that can be the basis of props, effects and stories/scripts you create from the ground up.

Creation of your own piece or scripts is one of the most fulfilling things as an artist. Yeah it takes a lot of thinking and…hard play. Sometimes it’s useful to bounce ideas off of someone. I’m fortunate in that I have my friend @[1696603043:2048:Ross Berteig] who lives near me. If you have no one, you have us. That’s what the group is for. It is private and members are carefully curated to be brothers and sisters of the craft from all over the world. The largest gathering of bizarrists in history. We are each other’s Shadow Network (like Brother Shadow devised).

I guess I just hope you are inspired and animated by this witches brew of ideas in this group. That’s why I created it. The world needs more true magicians to make the people think differently because of great art.

So Mote It Be,

Honoring the Giants on Whose Shoulders We Stand

RedGrave Shoulders of Giants September 18, 2020 Leave a reply

I’m posting these “shoulders of giants” as I think it is very important to honor our history and those who brought us here. Also as a teaching moment. If anyone is not sure who any of them are, please ask! It is safe to ask. And I’m sure our community has amazing stories to tell about each one.

For your files…

Instead of doing the same Titanic effects and stories, find new stories like this one of a courageous woman who used this cane to save the people on her lifeboat. Imagine the power of waving an illuminated cane in a dark space with sounds and smells of ocean beating against the sides of a lifeboat. It would be unforgettable
