January 5 - 7
Living Tall by Mike Geither=20
Living Tall is a spectacular new work by local playwright Mike Geither.
In Living Tall, a businessman attempts to give a lively workshop on
increasing sales, but he can't seem to stay on message. He is haunted by
a greater story-a story of death and redemption in a small town in
Italy. Living Tall is a wondrous performance that reveals the hollowness
of the marketplace and the resiliency of the spirit.=20
January 12 -14
Ms. Adventures by Michael Sepesy featuring Alison Garrigan=20
When the Wind Blows by Lisa Siciliano, directed by Dawn Youngs
In When the Wind Blows, two expectant women share stories about their
pregnancies from conception to birth. One of them is lying. A chance
meeting at a Wal-Mart sets off a series of events that ends with the
birth of a motherless child.=20
Ms. Adventures is a one-woman safari through the American gender jungle
by local playwright Michael Sepesy, featuring Cleveland's own Alison
Garrigan. Transforming herself in a series of comic and dramatic
monologues, Mrs. Garrigan explores each ms.-en-scene to illuminate
issues of interest to women. =20
January 19 - 21
The Future of the Funk by Najaa Young
The Future of the Funk is an exploration of the former, current and
future state of hip hop and its place in pop culture. Artist Najaa Young
presents a multimedia performance utilizing poetry, spoken work, dance,
rap, MC's, DJ's and video documentary. Will the future be found in
bling, bling and blunts, with scholarly black intellectuals or on the
gritty streets of Harlem or Johannesburg?=20
January 26 - 28
Without Feathers by Lisa Lock=20
Sucking the Life by Amy Notley
Without Feathers is a journey into the indefinite. Choreographed by
performer Lisa K. Lock, we follow her on her quest to grasp a sense of
self, while traveling through the mystic realms of the surreal. The
piece includes videography by Larry Coleman, and guest appearances by
Troy McCarty, Michael Medcalf, and Craig Bourne.
Sucking the Life by Amy Notley universalizes the trauma of ending a
relationship by articulating her own personal struggle. She renders
this experience skillfully in a powerful multimedia performance focusing
on movement. Her matchless charisma together with athletic and
expressive choreographies create a harmony in Sucking the Life that will
leave an indelible impression on her audience.
February 2 -4
Wearing Rainbows and Numbers by Mary Weems, directed by Tony Sias
Wearing Rainbows is a series of monologues by a racially, ethnically,
sexually, and generational diverse group of women. It is about how each
discovers the shapeshifting metaphor of a rainbow in their lives.
Numbers explores the issue of mental health through the eyes of an
African American numbers runner, and the spirits of several patients who
reside in the cemetery of a former facility for the so-called insane. =20
February 9 - 11
Fault Lines by Double-Edge Dance
Double-Edge Dance presents an evening-length dance theatre work of
vignettes connecting diverse vantage points on the core theme of fault
lines. Breaking points, rifts and reconfigurations are metaphors
underlying the collaborations between two choreographers, Kora Radella
and Julie Brodie, composer Ross Feller, textile artist Rebecca Cross,
video artist Claudia Esslinger and photographer Marcella Hackbardt.
February 16 -18
My Name is Rachel Corrie, directed by Trad Burns
The controversial and explosive My Name is Rachel Corrie is a docudrama
based on the diaries of young American Rachel Corrie. Corrie was a
member of the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) who traveled as an
activist to the Gaza Strip during the Al-Aqsa Intifada. My Name is
Rachel Corrie is a stunning account of one woman's experiences as she
passionately explores an unfamiliar world. Edited by Katherine Viner and
Alan Rickman from Corrie's recovered diaries and email correspondence,
it premiered at the Royal Court Theatre in London. The Big [BOX]
presentation will be its regional premiere.=20
