CRS presents a rare staging of the work of Donald Barthelme, father of postmodern fiction, by an appropriately eclectic array of dance, theatre, and film artists including multiple Bessie Award winner Yoshiko Chuma and Yubiwa Hotel artistic director Shirotama Hitsujiya (one of "The World's 100 Most Influential Japanese Women," Newsweek Japan). Also on the program are works by experimental theatre directors Nathan Dame and Harold Lehmann; a multi-disciplinary work by Christopher Pelham and Hazuki Homma; and making its NYC premiere is Jonathan Hayes' short film "The School" (2003 Worldwide Short Film Festival Audience Award and Sundance Film Festival 2004), adapted from the Barthelme story of the same title. Lighting design is by Poe.

Katsuko Yamamoto, called, 'Kakko-chan', is a teacher at a school for gifted (challenged) children. She encounters the wonderful characters and powers of children through her daily life with them. These are 'big powers' - invisible; yet they support us and they let our life live.

This was the encounter for her to know the preciousness of life.

○A child who remembers, "the pink swaddling clothes I wore after birth, hurt my skin."

○A child sees the change of season and language, as colors.

○A great variety of information flows into children.

Being with those children, Kakko-chan came to feel that, "They might know something important - the truth."

About Our Performance Series

We present artists of all kinds in our intimate studio theatre. We strive to create a meaningful, magical experience for everyone involved. Many people tell us the energy here is great. We agree! We encourage artists and audiences to stick around after each show and talk about the experience. If you share your work here, we hope the experience will in some way move you forward along your path. We try to take good care of our artists and expect that they will, in turn, take good care of our Center, value the experience, and respect the other people and activities here.

What kinds of work are we looking for? We present artists in the fields of contemporary dance & dance theatre, butoh, theatre (especially physical theatre, clown and improvisation), puppetry, and film/video featuring all kinds of subject matter. We welcome any work that is honest, engaging, purposeful, energizing, inspiring. Artists we have presented in the past include Anemone Dance Theatre, Artichoke Dance Company, Alexandra Beller, Tanya Calamoneri, Eric Davis, Egress Theatre Company, Celeste Hastings, Harold Lehmann, Lake Simons, The South Wing, Colleen Thomas, Guido Tuveri, Shinichi Iova-Koga, and many others.
