Save the date....       

Sixth Annual Richard Foreman Mini-Festival
        August 15 and 16, 8:30 pm

    at Performance Works NW

("My very favorite annual Portland performance event, hands down," swears 2GQ director/editor Ms. Tiffany Lee Brown.)

      

Tickets $15-$50 for one night; $25-$75 for both nights, sliding scale.
        Reservations: 503-777-1907 or brownpapertickets.com

      

Once again a scintillating array of Portland performing and media artists         (see list below) 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.

      

At 12:01 am on August 5, the performers are given the text plus a few         simple restrictions; ten days later audiences will thrill to the amusing,         shocking and enlightening results in two different programs over two         nights of avant fun.

      

Lilly Chamberlain and Cyndy Chan are catering the event with savory,         sweet, and refreshing summer treats. Beer, wine and soft drinks will         be available.
