Dec 6-8 Reminder | Luciana Proaño’s “Chaski”–”intense, yet playful study of endurance and the insignificance of time”

From Earlier Post:

December Events from Performance Works NW & other Portland artists & groups

November 29, 2007 — lindapaustin |:: Dec. 6-8 | Luciana Proaño’s “Chaski”
Thursday-Saturday, December 6-8 @ 7:00pm
Info/tickets: Artixpdx.com or 503-977-0620

Chaski is a multimedia presentation about endurance and trance, inspired by the Inca Andean runners. A new version of a work created in 1997 and performed 1998, 1999 and 2000. In the Quechua language, CHASKI means “messenger” and refers to the legendary relay runners who carried messages across the deserts, mountains and jungles of Peru.

“Chaski is about the paradox of moving without getting anywhere, the fusion of the line with the infinite,” says Proaño, of the collaboration with JB Butler, her husband and well-known jazz guitarist.

Proano dances with fierce and expressive abandon, drawing on improvisation and ritual, as well as unorthodox set design and video, to narrate the mythology. Butler’s original composition is an interpretation of Andean, Indian and free-form jazz rhythms and harmonies, and beautifully supports and drives Proano’s movement.

The music invokes a heartbeat, the video suggests a watery depth, and the result is an intense, yet playful study of endurance and the insignificance of time.

conscience. Produced by Nickey Robo and directed by Dave Slay, TPOD

*JC Edit: I made the dance-off thing up…they just want to show you good dance fever action–like this circus me around show I took 75 or so pictures of–and I don’t get enough sleep and have seen Zoolander too many times (if that is possible–it is not!). Now, back to Linda’s Post*

A great time was had by all last weekend for the opening weekend of “circus me around” by LINDA AUSTIN DANCE

 

Daily Stank Image Bank: “Circus Me Around” by Performance Works NorthWest

Well, I can’t tell you that I am able to fully describe this performance. One quote (very positive) was “a flock of birds with OCD“. All I know is that I am not necessarily Mr. Modern Dance and I had a great time. These pics are not the best–I am no pro photographer–but there are about 75 of them and a you can get a decent thought about what to expect.

It also gives a good idea of what it is like to watch “a flock of birds with OCD”. I definitely reccomend seeing this show before it ends this weekend.

More Halloween Funz with Rabbit In The Moon

*JC Edit: New contributer, and I’m honored to have Jeremy Bloom from It is Written join us here*

New Venue! Portland can always use good new venues… It’s a big ol’ warehouse in an industrial area, with a full bar and vast interior spaces to fill with lasers and lights and lots of dancers. They’re calling it On Air, and judging from what they’ve lined up for the opening night, this could be a great addition to the Portland scene…

Rabbit In The Moon is a legendary live electronic music group; since 1993 they’ve entertained crowds all around the world with their utterly awesome beats and manic antics - LED suits, giant hamster balls (for rolling - on top of the crowd!, flamethrowers… and more.

And R.I.T.M is just the headliner - there are 13 additional DJs and performers listed, ranging from the psytrance of Epsilon to the visuals of VJ Disco Beaver.

The On Air venue is at 1300 N River St. (under the Fremont Bridge) near the Albina MAX stop - see map

All Ages - Full cash bar with valid I.D. - $20 Presales / $30 Door. Ticket info and more via Anon’mous-i
