Jill Marlene! Staging the Trocadero Room.

This year the Trocadero lounge inside the El Cortez Hotel will be alive with sound and sensuality.  Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights Nadadada and Jill Marlene present the cabaret performance "Becoming the Intrinsic Beloved" which can be described as a multi media psychedelic  journey to self through innocence, experience, alienation and Illumination.  Music is live and ranges from Classical to sixties psych rock to folk to modern alternative.  Choreography by John Wade, Chelsea Teller Chen and Allison Prater draws from the circus and the sultans tents with modern, bellydance and aerial elements.  The already "Shining-like"  ambiance of the Trocadero Lounge will be adorned with the sensual twisted visions of Photographer Franz Szony and the performance will  be occurring in and around the audience as well as on the stage.  Musicians are local minstrels, rogues and jesters such as (Producer) Jill Marlene, Chris Nelson on Keys and Vocals,  Engineer and Master of the Cowbell 2tall Tom Gordon, "The Grups" Doyle Stewart, String Virtuosos Matt Linaman and Charlene Adzima,dave cherry blowing sax,  Punk prog afficcianado Gabriel Hilton,Grace Gatsby, and Chanteuses Jill Teachout and Dixie Dahl as well as a creative and beautiful band of dancers and acro yogis. We are waiting will take you on trip to the other worlds within.

Check the board in the el-cortez lobby each day for additions to the sensory buffet that is the Trocadero this year. There will be a Trocadero Board in the lobby of the El Cortez that will announce the most recent additions.  All donations collected will be used to cover expenses at the Trocadero Room.

This is the third year for this DIY artists' movement, started by six artists and then expanded to create an opportunity for other artists from Reno and the surrounding region including Sacramento, to exhibit their work.  NadaDada adherents are from the disciplines of visual art, music, poetry, performance.
