Happy Mardi Gras!
Only a few days overdue, Court 13 wishes you a merry close to the Carnival season. From the Krewe de Vieux parade out of our home studio at the Colton School, to chasing chickens and cutting a rug with the good folks of Eunice, Louisiana, on Mardi Gras day, it has been an eventful last couple of weeks in New Orleans. But now, the floats are retired, the beads are around the bedposts, and the work of valuable cinema continues.
In any case, Happy Mardi Gras!

Photos: The Court at Colton
This past fall, Court 13 found its perfect spiritual home: the Colton Studio, on St. Claude Avenue in New Orleans.
Colton was a public school that closed shortly after Katrina. Now it has been reopened as 3 floors of studio space, inhabited by some of the area's artists as a place where art and community come together. Every artist at Colton teaches free classes to the public, and Joe New Orleans can walk in whenever he wants to peruse the wonders on display.
These include Court 13's own "Saints of Atlantis" exhibit (showcasing a gussied up version of the raft from "Glory at Sea," and featured currently on the Court 13 website here), Court ally Annie E's furniture art, a light spectacular from the guy who did the fireworks at the Beijing Olympics, and much more.
The Court itself inhabits 2 to 3 rooms at a time - 2 for workshopping, 1 for brainstorming. And most importantly, to help storm the brain, Colton is located a stone's throw away from the Daiquiri Shop at Elysian Fields and St. Claude.
Come up and see us some time.

Saints of Atlantis
Up this month at Studio at Colton - 2300 St. Claude Ave.
Court 13 production designer Eliza Zeitlin and engineer Jimmy Lee Moore bring together puppets and treasures from across the mythic landscapes of Court 13’s short films into a shipwreck of saints and scoundrels; a vision of Atlantis, the lost underwater city, rising up from the deep through a layered universe of Gods and Insects, mega-universes and micro-landscapes, built from submerged, decaying relics found on New Orleans' post-flood street corners and infinite junkyards. This resurrection of the lost ship from Benh Zeitlin's Glory at Sea features the once-limo of a St. Claude Funeral Home.
