Movie: How Much Does Your Building Weigh, Mr. Foster?

A film by Norberto López Amado and Carlos Carcas, this is a portrait of one of the world's premier architects, "How Much Does Your Building Weigh, Mr. Foster?" follows Norman Foster's unending quest to improve the quality of life through design. By investigating his origins to how his dreams and influences inspired the design of emblematic projects such as the world's largest building to its tallest bridge, Foster offers some striking solutions to humanity's increasing demand on urban centers. 2010. 78 mins.

Movie: Man on a Mission

A film by Mike Woolf. In 2008 Richard Garriott became the first son of an astronaut to go to space. But this is no millionaire's joy ride: he pioneered private space travel to make his dream come true. From his training in Russia to his launch in Kazakhstan to the dramatic, never before seen footage inside the capsule during fiery re-entry, this is a historic moment in human space travel. Not just for space fans, this is a film that will inspire anyone who works tirelessly to make their dream come true.

Art Exhibit: Journeys

TSL's Art Gallery is exhibiting the works of Jane Gennaro and Linda Mussmann as two different ways of seeing and thinking and noting the passing of time and travel

Gennaro's work is a series of drawings which are spontaneous diaries of thinking and imagining Jane in Jane's world...these are daily scribblings that reflect the performer/artist's thoughts of her time and life in New York City-here you see her travel with the pen noting her musings.

Mussmann shares her mother's scrap books from trips across America starting in 1950. She also includes some of her note books that she has kept for over 30 plus years-in these books you see some similar thoughts of journeys most imagined -these trips were the fodder for theater pieces-some trips went through the civil war, some trips went through the badlands of the mind and created staged works from the late 1970's starting with a piece called ROOM/RAUM (deeply influenced by Gertrude Stein) to the Civil War Chronicles, to the projects where Clover was invented to be a kind of Chaplinesque figure representing "linda" as she toured the landscape of "DEALS & DIALOGUES". Check it out...stop in or see it while attending a performance.

Live Simulcast: Travelling Light

A new play by Nicholas Wright

How had a twenty-two-year-old pretentious layabout made a discovery that would elude every other cinematic pioneer for years to come?

In a remote village in Eastern Europe, around 1900, the young Motl Mendl is entranced by the flickering silent images on his father's cinematograph. Bankrolled by Jacob, the ebullient local timber merchant, and inspired by Anna, the girl sent to help him make moving pictures of their village, he stumbles on a revolutionary way of story-telling. Forty years on, Motl - now a famed American film director - looks back on his early life and confronts the cost of fulfilling his dreams.

Following Vincent in Brixton and The Reporter, Nicholas Wright's new play is a funny and fascinating tribute to the Eastern European immigrants who became major players in Hollywood's golden age. The award-winning Antony Sher - whose previous work with the National Theatre includes Primo and Stanley - returns to play Jacob.

Movie: 2012 Oscar Shorts - Animation

Join us for the rare opportunity to watch the five best ANIMATION and the five best LIVE ACTION selected for the Acacemy Awards this year. Screenings begin on Friday, February 10 after the nominations are made on Tuesday, January 24. The final nominations will be posted on TSL's website thereafter. Each program is a separate screening of approximately 90 to 100 mins. Please note: the two programs are on a rotating schedule.
Just because they're short doesn't make them any less entertaining, important or meaningful. In fact, one could argue that the short film format actually makes the art of filmmaking a greater challenge, considering the microscopic budgets and the narrative limitations of time. These wee gems of the cinema are labours of love, not box office returns.

Live Simulcast: The Comedy of Errors

Shakespeare's furiously paced comedy will be staged in a contemporary world into which walk three prohibited foreigners who see everything for the first time. Two sets of twins separated at birth collide in the same city without meeting for one crazy day, as multiple mistaken identities lead to confusion on a grand scale. And for no one more so than Antipholus of Syracuse and his servant Dromio who, in search of their brothers, arrive in a land entirely foreign to their distant home. A buzzing metropolis, to the outsiders it appears a place of wonderment and terror, where baffling gifts and unexplained hostilities abound.

Live Simulcast: She Stoops to Conquer

To come to my house, to call for what he likes, toturn me out of my own chair, to insult the family, to order his servants to get drunk, and then to tell me, "This house is mine, sir". By all that's impudent it makes me laugh.

Hardcastle, a man of substance, looks forward to acquainting his daughter with his old pal's son with a view to marriage. But thanks to playboy Lumpkin, he's mistaken by his prospective son-in-law Marlow for an innkeeper, his daughter for the local barmaid. The good news is, while Marlow can barely speak to a woman of quality he's a charmer with those of a different stamp. And so, as Hardcastle's indignation intensifies, Miss Hardcastle's appreciation for her misguided suitor soars. Misdemeanours multiply, love blossoms, mayhem ensues.

This little barmaid though runs in my head most strangely, and drives out the absurdities of all the rest of the family. She's mine, she must be mine, or I'm greatly mistaken.

One of the great, generous-hearted and ingenious comedies of the English language, Goldsmith's She Stoops to Conquer offers a celebration of chaos, courtship and the dysfunctional family.
