with Visual Effects by Fred Hatt

Friday – Saturday, August 1 – 2, 2008 at 8:30 PM

“The Wheel of Earthly Life” is a story of a human life from the beginning to the end as we feel the connection between each stage of life and the cycles of each season on the earth. Enjoy an evening of a minimalistic solo dance theater that brings you the struggle, pathos, humor, and solemn moments of human lives, as we remember that the same seasons will return to the earth regardless of each of our life struggles. A new wave of Japanese interpretive dancer, Tadashi incorporates Japanese Butoh, American modern dance, and mime.

Fridays & Saturdays at 8:30 PM
August 8 – 23, 2008 at CRS

CRS presents a rare staging of the work 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, 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.

"Yoshiko Chuma is a maverick, utterly unique, a 'one-off' as the British say, on the stage of world dance. Her career has spanned almost 30 years and 35 countries. Her work is a mixture of play and seriousness, anarchy and reflection, and her hallmarks are collaboration and cultural exchange. Chuma cuts across categories. One might call her a postmodern choreographer, a movement designer, or a visual artist whose primary medium is human beings—dancers, musicians, pedestrians. She is unusually alive to space and landscape, indoors or outdoors. Gifted with great personal force and intelligence, at heart she is an experimentalist, a fierce explorer with a profound sense of structure." — Amanda Smith, Dance Magazine, 2007 

"YUBIWA Hotel was one of the most successful events we presented at PICA TBA06. It was a beautiful and affecting show and really struck a chord with the Portland OR audience. The image of the YUBIWA Hotel cast doing their stomping smoking dance at the end will stay with me forever." — Mark Russell, former Artist Director P.S. 122
