Absinth Aperitif Soiree

Dylan — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 18:59:23 +0000

“Developed by the award-winning Per Aspera Productions, Exposure Berlin is based on The Breasts of Tireasias by Appollinaire–the work for which the word ‘surrealist’ was first invented. Exposure Berlin is being performed in English, German and French, and it features new music, surrealist animation, a live-feed camera, a circus, and more! Developed specifically for the Delphi Cinema, channelling the spirit of the Golden 20′s in Berlin, we invite you to come enjoy the preview of this new multi-media show.”

Plus a silent film screening, swing dancing, and more! For the full list of entertainment, click here.

Shut Up Little Man

Dylan — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 00:09:38 +0000

I have an upcoming performance of a piece that my friend Tim Whelan and I composed together. It’s probably unlike anything you’ve ever seen before: we’ve taken excerpts from Verdi and Handel and mashed them into a 7-minute whiplash of nonsense about old drunken men. And, most of the re-written lyrics are profanity. It’s like taking a shit on classical music. Now, doesn’t that sound like fun?

The Man in the Suit

Dylan — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 01:35:50 +0000

The Man in the Suit is now available online! This short was shot on Long Island last winter, right before I left New York for Berlin. I thoroughly enjoyed working with all of these wonderful people on set, and I hope you’re entertained by the fruits of our labour. (Mostly their labour.)

“Charles is a mysterious drifter who collects people’s life experiences by video interviewing them. Mia, an artist, breaks into homes to steal family portraits and replace them with her own bizarre Photo-shopped creations. Charles and Mia cross paths and their interactions, although disconnected, become strangely intimate.”

with a little help from my friends

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Andy Smallman, Puget Sound Community School, and the Kind Living Blog for supporting Strangers in a Song, my upcoming project at Mica Moca. Thanks to crowdfunding sites like WeFund and family and friends–friends like Andy, my great uncle Carl, my ex-boyfriend’s parents, my father’s attorney, and any number of other seemingly random yet significant persons in my life–WE’RE 144% FUNDED! Thank you everyone for donating! And I look forward to sharing the documentary with you all. Here’s the shout out from Kind Living.

Haus der Kulturen der Welt

Dylan — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 09:03:20 +0000

When relocating to Berlin, I didn’t expect to find such an interesting project so quickly. But here I am, SHAZAM! breaking in on the experimental film scene just like that.

I’m singing in a film project by Reynold Reynolds at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt. The footage will likely not be available for another couple of years, as it is an extensive and intricate project funded almost entirely by grants, residencies and the such. But in the meantime, you can catch the final public performance this Friday (01 April 2011) at Haus der Kulturen der Welt.

Doors are always open, show starts at 18:00.

Operatically Speaking: a cabaret

Dylan — Mon, 04 Oct 2010 13:44:58 +0000

Featuring Arias, Duets and Ensembles from the worlds of Opera, Operetta, and Broadway with the music of Beethoven, Bernstein, Bizet, Copland, Gordon, Handel, Lalo, Lehár, Monteverdi, Rimsky-Korsakov and Sondheim.

Highlights from NYFringe 2010

Dylan — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 21:26:20 +0000

“The Demimonde Theatre & Opera Company are to be commended for bringing a new production of The Maid of Orleans to New York audiences via Fringe… Ethereal soprano Gudrun Buhler digs into the title role, speaking with appropriately unearthly cadences and singing beautifully. Dylan Bandy gives Lionel, the British lord, lovely voicing as well, bearing a good deal of the show’s musical weight…and the Bandy/Buhler duet of ‘Ah, crudel, d’onor raggioni’ approaches the sublime.”

A Polish opera comes to Greenpoint

Dylan — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 20:22:39 +0000

Stanislaw Moniuszko’s Hrabina opened at the Polish National Home, The Warsaw in Greenpoint, on a sullen Sunday evening. Given the tragic events of the week, there was some debate as to whether the show would happen at all, and if it did, what audience would attend? On Saturday April 10th, 2010, a plane crash took the life of Polish president Lech Kaczynski, his wife, and many of Poland’s most prominent politicians and military leaders. But, the show went on.

Hrabina by Stanislaw Moniuszko
conducted by Thomas Lawrence Toscano of Opera Oggi NY

with performances by:
Dylan Bandy as Bronia
Mario Arevalo as Kazimierz
Malgorzata Kellis as Hrabina
Ron Mesa as Podczaszyc
Zander Eben as Dzidzi
Ivan Amaro as Chorazy
and Elena Laurenti as Pana Ewa

accompanied by the Polish Singer’s Chorus
and the Polish American Folk Dance Company.
