You can check out video clips, audio interviews and read reviews on our website http://www.ontheboards.orgThe show comes to OtB on the heels of rave reviews and sold-out houses at Dance Theater Workshop in New York and the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis... "the kind of show that generates wildfire word-of-mouth...if you can picture a sequence including a rock ballad, a guy on one roller skate, a striptease involving a flute and a neck brace, Vivaldi's 'The Four Seasons', and an inflatable sheep... you're well on your way to imagining the dizzying anarchy of 'Back to the Present.'" -The New York Sun More info below: ***************************************** Coming to OtB on the heels of a sold out run and rave reviews in NYC: CONSTANZA MACRAS/DORKY PARK

TPS Message Boards (requires ID & Password to post) / Project Promotion / vaseline, green glitter and french rap this Thu-Sat at OtB
|

Dear TPS, OtB’s last international show of the season is finally here. We have been looking forward to this one all season - this is the type of show that people will see and then talk about for weeks and months later. It's three nights only, so don't miss it![/b] French artist Christian Rizzo makes his US debut and exclusive US appearance at OtB this Thu-Sat. Rizzo combines club culture, fashion, a live audio mix (with French electronic music artist Gerome Nox), green glitter and vaseline in a piece that’s part performance art, part dance theater. Opening night rush tickets are available for only $12 on a space available basis.Rizzo’s work has been referenced in many US publications over the last year, because it’s making quite a stir in Europe – and is pretty different than what’s happening in the US. Last fall, The New York Times published a somewhat controversial article titled “How New York Lost Its Modern Dance Reign”. It posited that New York “is no longer the capital of the contemporary dance world”. And that New York was “in danger of losing what made the dance world here so vital to begin with: bravery.” An image of Rizzo accompanied the article – illustrating one of the artists the journalist was surprised hadn’t been invited to New York yet. OtB is delighted to have this opportunity to present Rizzo in Seattle for his US debut, and hope a lot of people take advantage of this unique opportunity and come and check out what he’s doing. Thanks for spreading the word… we hope to see you this weekend! Read Brendan Kiley’s preview for this piece in the Stranger:

TPS Message Boards (requires ID & Password to post) / Project Promotion / PR: Come see edgy South African company next weekend at OtB
|
on: January 25, 2006, 05:19:52 PM

Hi TPS, The dance company coming to OtB next weekend is truly innovative and I think it will be a fascinating and moving piece for anyone who enjoys live performance. We hope you will come and check out the company's debut US tour! OtB presents the Seattle debut of Revolutionary South African Choreographer
BOYZIE CEKWANA and his company Floating Outfit Project.
Feb 2-5, 8pmJa'nee & Rona
Tickets: $24 / $12 StudentsOtB presents the West Coast debut of award-winning, boundary breaking South African choreographer/dancer Boyzie Cekwana. In his first US tour, this acclaimed artist brings his company with two powerful pieces: Ja'nee and Rona. Ja'nee (yes/no) deals with the brutal reality of South African post-apartheid society, commenting on AIDS, child abuse, and widespread violence. In Ja’nee, Cekwana’s unique choreographic vision is augmented by his company of bold dancers and actors, and an installation-based set featuring projections and portraits of naked men with their genitals concealed by AK-47’s, knives, handguns and other weapons of violence. The soundscape is a mixture of pre-recorded music and live sound (including spoken and sung text in the indigenous language of Zulu). Rona is a butoh-inspired meditation retracing African spiritual roots. The dancers’ controlled, ritualistic movements come from a mixture of classical western dance as well as imagery and movement reminiscent of figures on South African rock art. Hailed as a "wunderkind" of South African dance, Cekwana combines Western choreography with the music, style, and energy of African dance to create technically rigorous and widely celebrated work that comments on the extreme social and cultural issues bombarding his country today. "...dance rediscovers with Boyzie its human and political dimensions." (SortirObs, Paris) For more information and to purchase tickets visit www.ontheboards.org or call 206-217-9888 On the Boards is located at 100 West Roy Street in lower Queen Anne. Join us for a free pre-show talk and post-show Q&A on opening night. See OtB's website for more details at www.ontheboards.org |

Hey TPS We’re really excited about the show opening at On the Boards next week. If you like experimental theater and independent film, you won’t want to miss Dutch company Kassy Wed-Sun (Jan 11-15). Their half live theater, half film piece “Kommer” is described as quirky, hilarious, touching, and brilliant. “With a subtle style and an absurd touch (Kassys) makes the everyday extra ordinary. It is all brilliantly brought into vision." -De Volkskrant, October 2003 Check out the Stranger Suggestshttp://www.thestranger.com/seattle/SuggestsKassys - (Amsterdam/theater & film)

A tender and hilarious portrayal of human fragility rendered in 50% theater and 50% film, Kommer displays the beauty of human success and failure while exposing the “little angles” of large human suffering.
