Patricia Hoffbauer (Faculty) at Danspace Project
Para-dice (Stage 1) In Para-dice (Stage 1), part one of the culminating evening of PLATFORM 2010, Patricia Hoffbauer playfully deconstructs the structure of an academic lecture on the relationship between dance and subjectivity, and juxtaposes it with a performance piece where ideas about otherness are buttressed against different practices and ideas in the dance field today. Peter Richards has constructed a visual narrative featuring excerpts of work by Brazilian filmmaker Glauber Rocha. Text cited in the piece is by Rocha, Brenda Dixon Gottschild, and Langston Hughes. Original text by George Emilio Sanchez. Para-dice (Stage 1) is performed by Patricia Hoffbauer, George Emilio Sanchez, Peggy Gould, Elisa Osborne and Peter Richards.

Maura Nguyen Donohue @ West End Theatre
Assistant Professor Maura Donohue presents "strictly a female female" a mashup of Asian themed musicals/opera and (mostly) 80s rock. Donohue and, musical collaborators, Richard Ebihara & Perry Yung have recombined elements from Flower Drum Song, South Pacific, the King and I, and Madame Butterfly with 80s anthem rock from the likes of Journey, Billy Idol, Pat Benatar, and Guns N’Roses to create a truly absurd derivative mesh of the original sources. strictly a female female marks the first collaboration between Maura Nguyen Donohue/inmixedcompany and Slant Performance Group since their 1996 Lotus Blossom Itch at DTW. A reboot to their earlier examination of the Asian female body in popular culture, strictly a female female puts portrayals of race and gender through the blender for a riotous and ridiculous combination of live dance, music, and theater. Direction and choreography by Maura Nguyen Donohue. Music arranged by Richard Ebihara and performed by Ebihara & Perry Yung. Donohue is joined on stage by longtime company member Peggy Cheng, dancers Jessica Colotti (HC) and Timothy Edwards (HC), with MiRi Park starring as faux-queen, dancing diva Stella Ho.

Maura Nguyen Donohue @ Danspace Project
"I'm not coming back" explores changing states and physical decay through processes of repetition, accumulation, evolution, and deconstruction. Peggy Cheng, Marc Morozumi, and Hunter students Kristina Dobosz, Alexandra Amirov join Assistant Professor Donohue and her daughter, Sasa Yung, as improvisational and meditative practices are folded into a journey of repeated pathways that, while seeking alternate trajectories for a life, culminate at one finite destination. Bodies oscillate, thrash, crumple and reset as a young observer watches and wanders among dancers succumbing to impermanence. On a shared program with Vanessa Anspaugh.
