    Somewhere

    A play by Marisela Treviño Orta directed by Olga Sanchez Saltveit.
    Almost all the insects are gone, but Cassandra and her brother Alexander are tracking the world’s last monarch butterflies heading to the west coast instead of south. Their path intersects with an Oregon truffle farm where a small group of people are hunkering down to wait out the apocalypse. Will their encounter provoke the collapse of humanity or a new beginning?

    Performances: April 6th – 8th, 7:30 pm each evening and 2 pm on Saturday.

    The Westerlies; Theo Bleckmann

    The Westerlies, a most innovative brass quartet of trumpet and trombone players who skirt the boundaries of jazz, classical, and pop, have paired with Theo Bleckmann, one of today’s most in-demand composers/vocalists. Together these two powerhouses have created a contemporary musical performance called “This Land.” Highlighting the power of music to invigorate protest movements and provide internal solace amidst external turmoil, “This Land” comprises cleverly arranged songs by Bertolt Brecht, Joni Mitchell, Woody Guthrie, Agha Shahid Ali, and many others.

    Art vs. the Apocalypse Movement Workshop "Embodying Stories"

    This movement workshop led by Theresa May combines embodied practice with questions about how our bodies serve as sources for creativity. The body has knowledge; the body contains memory; the body is a source of stories. How is your body a gateway to creativity, imagination, memory, and freedom of expression? How are imagination, voice, emotion and physicality connected? How can you be present and empowered in and through your body? How is language embodied? What might it mean to have a physical “practice” that opens your heart and creative imagination?
