9th Annual Richard Foreman Mini-Festival
Summer has passed without the annual mind-bending mayhem that is the Richard Foreman Fest. What gives? But never fear, Performance Works NorthWest is concocting your yearly dose of Richard Foreman-derived paratheatrical psychotropics to be administered during the cooler days of early October. As in the past eight years, an intrepid gang of Portland artists cheerfully takes up the challenge of delving into an assigned text from the online notebooks of avant-garde theater pioneer Foreman. Then, by adapting, mangling, cutting, pasting---by tossing in movement, video, visuals, and other text---the performers brew up new works to be staged 10 days later!
Two shows, with a different lineup each night. Drinks, snacks, silent auction! Funds raised will support programming by Linda Austin Dance & Performance Works NW.
