older woman who complains about her daughter interfering in her life,
"for her own safety". When a lightbulb burns out and Pearl climbs
onto the chair to change it. Lisa's bungee techniques combined withn the
hillarity and charm brought through the character of Pearl offer a fun and

physical abilities that accompany aging. 418 Project - Sat 9pm and Sun 9pm. with Frey

Lauren Crux -
This is Just To Say... a performance of
joyous rebellion & of writing/living from the
margins Notes are the little
connectors, the snacks of writing, yet notes can also be
intrusive,subversive, dangerous. They can be nothing but a moments
scribbling, destined for the trash can, or they can carry enormous
social,political and/or personal power, e.g. the note left by the murderer,
the suicide, the political prisoner, the note that when leaked brings down a
government. Community TV - Sat
8pm and Sun 7pm. with the Izzy Sisters. |

Erica Lann-Clark - One For My Baubo What do you do when
you're going down for the count? This piece follows the
hair-brained misadventures
of a woman already a little crazy who wants to be recognized - just once - as
a creature made in the image of God, you know, like men are, everywhere, even still
today. A chance phone call
sends her hurtling into her cultural tragedy, the politics of class, race, gender, and a dreadful
victimhood. So who calls her? A
relative. Who else sends us hurtling down the alleys of our dissolution? Now, you want to know, will she climb
out? Will the talking vagina
save her? Come see the
show. Motion Pacific - Fri
7pm and Sun 8pm. With Shadow City |

Jessica Fudim - Sheepish Little Bo Peep is
determined to recover her lambs on the lam as she digs through virtual
hillsides, wrangles cottenballs, serenades sheep-shaped clouds and obediently
dances to the audience's instructions. In this multi-media, solo
dance-theater piece, video backdrops and dreamy sound collages set the stage
for bo's travels between the world of "what if's" and the here and
now. Hope turns to hallucination as Sheepish cracks open the question,
"Who are we without the ones we love...and how can they be gone when we
think we see them everywhere? 418 Project - Sat
7pm and Sun 7pm. with Shelly Adams-Stryker $5 |

Sha Sha Higby Legendary
international performance artist, Sha Sha Higby presents Dust on Water,
premier of evocative sculptural costume & puppetry dance, in a drama of
memory and timelessness "A Higby
performance is a blissful combination of shamanism, dance, & puppetry in
which the costume comes alive. For three decades her art has remained as
impressively unique as it is whimsically refreshing." San Francisco
Chronicle Actor's Theater -
Fri 8:30pm and Sun 6pm. |

Izzy Sisters Ground Play A playful duet about a woman
accepting, loving, and dancing with the little girl inside her. This piece reflects the priceless
message that not all young girls receive that they are more than OK just the
way they are, and that the world does want to see them and hear what they
have to say, despite all messages they might receive to the
contrary. Community Television
- Sat 7pm and Sun 8pm. with Lauren Crux |

Sha and Blah Productions - The Haunting of Grandmothers Sarah Day and Daniel
Davis, Shah and Blah Productions, are presenting an excerpt from a new
full-length piece currently in development. Weaving dance with symbolic
narrative, "The Haunting of Grandmothers" offers a glimpse into a
poetic mind holding a memory dislocated in time and space. It is an exploration of a process,
and the personal ghosts that arise as the self and physicality are
disintegrating. The piece has
been greatly influenced by intimate family experiences with
Alzheimers. 418 Project - Sat
9pm and Sun 9pm. with .Frey Faust, Lisa Christensen, Ana
Flecha |

Shadow City - The Rehearsal Room The piece involves a
Classical Flutist trying to rehearse (Debussy's Afternoon of a Faun) and a
mangy, working class Custodian interrupting her with various suggestions and
comments, at a certain point the Flutist gets real pissed and says:
"What do you know about music anyway?" and what follows is a
capsulated history of music, from Chant to Modern, delivered by the Custodian
in working class jive talk as he nonchalantly continues his tasks, sweeping,
scrubbing, etc. This leads to an ironic denouement that is sure to
get a chuckle
or two. Motion Pacific - Fri
7pm and Sun 7pm. with Erica Lann-Clark |

Richard Stockton - Fondle the Fear Too tired of self
help to help yourself? Can't afford a shrink? Laugh yourself into a
positive state with comedian/empowerment sage Richard Stockton as he
performs "Fondle The Fear", a hilarious alternative to running from
your demons. With the comedian's "true stories and real jokes,"
turn your fears into power while you laugh your ass off. Richard
Stockton claims to be a feral child raised by Republicans; indeed he looks
like a cross between Ronald Reagan and Don Knotts. In his twenty years as a
standup comedian, he has appeared on dozens of national TV shows – growing an
audience of devotees to his unique take on the human potential
movement. Community TV - Sat
9pm and Sun 8pm. with Iman Lizarazu. |
