Butoh in the Ecotone
BUTOH IN THE ECOTONE A Food & Art Performance
Inside the warm ambiance of Row House Café in South Lake Union, three local butoh dancers and an artist create a food and art performance. Alan Sutherland, Haruko Crow Nishimura (DAE), and Sheri Cidro Brown (DAIPAN) join Isobel Davis' visual art exploration of the edge effect in her hung work, "Energy of the Ecotone", filling every nook and cranny, with art, artifacts, costumes, food, and music, that embodies the creative energy of biological diversity. The live music by Travis McAllister (PDX), and delightful tastes from a special menu of mushroom-inspired cuisine (as well as non-fungal options) lead us to a potentially transformative art and memorable eating experience.
Schedule: pre-performance art mingle and drinks at 4. Dancers begin at 4:30, a unique journey of sight, sound, movement, music, and communal assimilation. Performance will end by six, with interactive poetry and mingling options to follow. "We wanted to offer the audience a way to enter the exploration of this dynamic microcosm, an imagined world where we can dream of being together in a different way," says Sheri Brown.
Isobel Davis' art (on view daily through March) examines life in transition in the ecotone. Nature's creativity at the edges is worth noticing. The ecotone is the area of transition between biological communities birthing the edge effect where more diversity exists than on the flanking communities. Butoh dance art naturally embodies this effect, and butoh dancers' investigation into transformation, also inspire new ways of being.
