There are a lot of crazy and ill people around us. There’s no point hiding from them.
We, The Solvents, acknowledge this fact. And we want to help them. These people might be among us. Maybe we are even crazy and ill ourselves!

Anyway, in order to help crazy people (and ourselves), we launched two new internet projects that will soon become “the next big thing” and will be featured in The Time magazine (once they find out about us on Google). The projects are:

Paranoiac Refuge www.paranoiac.info - the place for paranoiacs to share ideas and fears in a safe environment.

and

The Freak Zoo www.freakzoo.info - a unique collection of social freak characters from all over the world. Supported by Human Behaviour Anomalies Trust.

You can become a member too! Just register on any of these sites or submit your request.

If you are from the Time magazine, please, contact Dmitry Paranyushkin for more information.

The Solvents were mentioned in the article by The Sunday Times. The original can be found at http://www.timesonline.co.uk/newspaper/0,,176-2130804,00.html

“Dartington’s Solvents Theatre Company surprised us by following the solemnities of Leviathan with a hilarious expressionist cabaret, The Cosmic Family Workshop-Seminar, which sent up the hucksterism of evangelical religion and personal makeover shows, and won the company an award for its versatility.”

“A ghostly replay of themes from Melville’s Moby Dick supplied the disjointed material for Leviathan, by Dartington’s Solvents Theatre Company. Klaus Kruse won the Directors’ Guild Award for leading the creation of a poetic event of visual and aural beauty that enlisted the audience as participants, and subjected them to some of the deprivations experienced by Ahab’s crew.”

Directors’ Guild Award: Klaus Kruse (Dartington College of Arts)

Judges’ Award for Versatility: The Solvents Theatre Company (Dartington College of Arts)

Judges’ Commendations for Soundscape (Leviathan): The Solvents Theatre Company (Dartington College of Arts)
