THEATRICAL/ACTORIAL STAGE PERFORMANCES
Winter Laake's stage performances are more similar to plays than your standard musical performances. Primarily an opening act for several major
known bands. Winter Laake would carry out magical or theatrical shows for the audience. They would be conducted by up to eight actors. Once in
Chicago at The Vic Theater a full production of Winter Laake's poem, The Reaper Of Auschwitz was orchestrated like a mock Triumph of Will,
complete with NAZI standards and emblems. An eight foot reaper was in the background on stilts complete with scythe. The poem, Reaper Of
Auschwitz is more an indifferent poem about the apathy of death.
FILMOGRAPHY
Winter Laake has filmed, produced and acted within several underground short films.
1. Ravine Project I
2. Ravine Project II
These films were
shot on location along the Potomac River in the Washington DC area. The premise of these films was very similar to the film Evil Dead. Where a
group of people stumble unto some ancient occult knowledge. Some of the party are possessed by evil entities while others vie to gain possession
of the secret knowledge in order to gain power. The climax of the film occurs in an abandoned missile silo. Winter Laake who plays the character
known as Drago is attempting to activate the controls of the nuclear weapons inside while the possessed, half demon like creatures are closing in.
NEOFOLK
Winter Laake is the writer credited with the term NEOFOLK/NEOVOLK for a genre of music inspired by several great musical artists, Douglas P,
Tony Wakeford, Patrick Leagas & O'Kill. An interview was conducted of Winter Laake in the early 90's by The Village Voice NY/NY where in a
discussion the term NEOFOLK/NEOVOLK was executed and printed to express the genre of music that Winter Laake felt he was apart of. Hence the
term has been used on a broad based scale worldwide as a description.
PHOTOGRAPHY
