RICHARD FOREMAN FESTIVAL July 19th at Imago Theatre

I'm beyond delighted to perform in the 7th Annual Richard Foreman Mini-Festival after three years away. This is the most fun ever. Performers get a chunk of text by Richard Foreman a week before the show, along with instructions telling us we have to include a few elements in our creations. So we basically have a few days to whip up a short piece.

Buy tickets early—this event tends to sell out.



July 19 5pm & 8pm — two different shows!

This year at Imago Theatre
17 SE 8th Ave. Portland, Oregon

Tickets $15-$50 for one show; $25-$75 for both shows, sliding scale.
Reservations: 503-777-1907 or brownpapertickets.com/event/71096

A dazzling lineup of theater, dance, video and literary artists from Portland and beyond rise to the challenge of creating a piece in ten days by cutting, pasting, mangling or otherwise adapting text selected from avant-garde writer/director Richard Foreman’s online notebooks.

Beer, wine and great food by culinary artists Cyndy Chan & Anna Daedalus.

At 12:01 am on July 9, the performers will be given the text plus a few simple restrictions; ten days later audiences will thrill to the amusing, shocking and enlightening results created by 18 artist groups in two different programs.
