NOTORIETY VARIETY – San Francisco’s Variety Arts Project

Variety with an edge!

A month ago I visited San Francisco and had lunch with a good friend of mine, Judy Finelli. We knew one another from when she use to perform in Central Park as a juggler. 

She is now focusing on a project called “Notoriety Variety” and it is quite ambitious!

Here is her ‘Mission Statement’.

She has quite a resume to back up her dream and I expect her to achieve her goal.

Here are some photographs and videos.

Comment by Judy Finelli

“this was way before everybody had cell phones. There is a very brief eight clubs, but the one where where we catch them with Hovey, catching five is actually 10 clubs – we were in the first Americans to do this.”

NOTORIETY VARIETY 
“I will feature variety artists from a bewildering array of disciplines, artists not usually associated with variety arts — Tuva throat singers; a percussionist on the level of Evelyn Glennie; an early music a Capella ensemble — Euouae; the fusion of cutting edge lights and electronic dance music such as performed by Enra, concert-level ragtime pianist Larisa Migachyov, etc. There will be flamenco dancers, vibraphone players, rope-spinners, and tap-dancing jugglers galore.”
