Cabaret Boris & Natasha

Performance Works NW
May 15 & 16, 2009

Summary:

An evening of dance, music, and kittenish kitsch that rolls you into a ball of string and tosses you into the feline frenzy of raucous spring. This beloved long-running arts salon brings in the height of spring with dance, music, and more from an exceptional pool of Portland's finest performers.

Sixth Annual Richard Foreman Mini-Festival

Performance Works Northwest
August 15 & 16, 2008

Summary:

Once again a scintillating array of Portland performance and media artists create a piece in ten days by cutting, pasting, mangling or otherwise adapting text selected from avant-garde writer/director Richard Foreman's online notebooks. (http://ontological.com/RF/notebooks.html) Thrill to the amusing, shocking, enlightening results in two different programs over two nights of fun.
