ent Meditation practice that will inform your daily life\, as we embark on
an embodied path towards self-discovery and awakening together.
\n ~ Experience movement as medicine
\n ~ Express your truth
~ Explore your body’s own wisdom
\n ~ Expand your awareness
\n
~ Evolve to new ways of being
\n The 5Rhythms comprise a simple
movement practice designed to release the dancer that lives in everybody\
, no matter what its shape\, size\, age\, limitations and experience. To f
ind your dance is to find yourself\, at your most fluid and creative level
. While the practice itself is the essence of simplicity\, it has the powe
r to catalyze deep healing and creative expression. The primary teaching o
f this work is: If you put the psyche in motion\, it will heal itself.
\n The five rhythms are flowing\, staccato\, chaos\, lyrical and s
tillness. They come together to create the Wave\, a movement meditation pr
actice. Rather than having steps to follow\, each rhythms is a different e
nergy field in which you find your own expression and choreography\, there
by stretching your imagination as well as your body. Each rhythm is a teac
her\, and you can expect to meet different and sometimes unknown aspects o
f yourself as your dance unfolds and your practice of the rhythms deepens
over time.
\n Beginners and experienced movers are welcome. Com
e join our sweet Tuesday night community.
\n Every Tuesday even
ing 6:30 - 8:30

\n\n
\n\n About the Artists
\n\n
\n\n Jose Basso
\n\n
\n\n Basso was born in Chile in 1949\, he quickly attained fame and recognition in h is own country\, and by 1978 he had started exhibiting throughout Europe a nd the United States. The next two decades brought tremendous success incl uding scholarships\, awards\, and multiple opportunities to represent his country in international juried exhibitions. His works have been admired and collected by Chilean President Ricardo Lagos and the Queen of Spain So phia de Borbon. Perhaps most notably\, however\, he was selected in 2007 t o create a mural for the headquarters of the O.E.A. in Washington\, D.C.\n
\n As a true master of contemporary art\, Basso is admired not only for his tremendous skill but also for conceiving of a style that has neve r been executed before. Basso’s landscapes are powerful in their simplicit y and dramatic in their boldly contrasting colors. Punctuated only by mini mal houses and trees\, his horizons are at once intense and serene. In is Basso’s ability to create such a dichotomy in a single harmonious work th at sets him apart as one of the most innovative artists working today.
\n Bryn Craig
\n\n Craig is well known for his iconic ima ges of Marin\, often represented in scenes such as a darkened Larkspur str eet lit by the marquee of the Lark Theater\, or the image of the house see n in this painting. The house is actually a structure in San Rafael and th e truck and boat are taken from photos of Point Reyes Station\, but Craig felt they would have more impact if he placed them into the meadow he reco nstructed from an old watercolor. Born in 1931 in Lansdale\, PA\, he studi ed at the Philadelphia Museum College of Art\, the Art Students League of New York\, and taught at the Philadelphia Museum College of Art. Mr. Craig has been a Marin resident since 1978.
\n\n “The house in the meadow doesn’t really exist\, at least it doesn’t exist as shown here\,” Craig s ays. “I was much taken by the building’s strength and solidity\, it should stand alone on a hill\, lonely\, but protecting those that live in it\, s o I moved it.” - Excerpted from an article by Dan Jewett that appears in the May 2013 issue of Marin Magazine
\n\n James Leonard
\n\n Leonard lives and works in the Northern California Bay Area . Leonard has been the subject of more than 20 solo exhibitions over the l ast eight years. His work is collected by individuals and corporations na tionally and internationally.
\n\n “My paintings are also the attemp t to integrate my profound respect for individuality with the process of making art. I work with in an introspective\, intuitive fashion and strive to bring a personal sensibility to the work.”
\n\n
\n\n GR Martin
\n\n
\n\n Martin has been painting professiona lly since 1997. His work has been exhibited nationally in galleries and m useums that include\, The Oakland Museum of California\, The San Diego Mus eum of Art and The Masur Museum of Art.
\n\n
\n\n Martin’s h ighly detailed style puts his work within the realm of classical realism w hile his offbeat compositions create surreal environments that draw you in . Structured and focused\, his work is also expansive and open to interpr etation- encouraging you to find your own meaning within the ambiguity.
\n\n
\n\n Talking about his piece\, “Rex”: “The color is slig htly off-natural and the bird presents a crest of jewels rather than feath ers. Detail is focused on its head and face. The bird is set against an ab stract background that fades vertically. Rex is not a literal representati on.”
\n\n
\n\n Susan McDonnell
\n\n
\nMcDonnell’s paintings have been featured in solo and group exhibitions in galleries throughout the United States. She received a BA and MFA from A rt Center College of Design in Pasadena\, California. Susan McDonnell uses egg tempera to make her paintings. When making egg tempera dry pigments are mixed into a paste with water and then mixed with egg yolk as a binder \, Egg tempera paintings are known to maintain the brilliance of color thr ough the centuries.
\n\n
\n\n “My paintings are combinations of what I perceive as real and underlying unseen elements of nature. My p erceptions of nature are often defined by its patterns\, delicacy and asto nishingly exquisite details. I record the process of contemplative observa tion in the garden where there are microcosms of interconnected systems\, aligning and flowing in and out of each other. It is a continual work in p rogress. The gardens I paint are reflections of the works in progress we c all “our lives”.
\n\n
\n\n Greg Ragland
\n\n < /p>\n
\n Ragland was born in Augusta Georgia and grew up in Colorado Spr ings\, Colorado. He studied architecture at Arizona State University\, rec eived his BFA from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena California and his MFA from the University of Utah.
\n\n Greg Ragland’s paintings have a sense of playful serenity about them. His colors and compositions flow together to create depth and movement of which his subject\, the humm ingbirds\, are able to take flight within his work. The artist refers to t he calming and bright backgrounds of his paintings as “Color Fields\,” in which these small energetic birds play.
\n\n
\n\n “My inten t as the artist is for the viewer to get lost in the calming beauty of the se spontaneous experiences in the nature within the seductive “Color Fiel ds.”
\n\n
\n\n
\n\n
\n\n Daniel Tousignan t
\n\n
\n\n Tousignant was born into a family saturated in the arts\, and raised on a dairy farm in Minnesota\, he started painti ng at the age of five. The unique spirit and energy of every scene he pain ts captures the subtleties of color and light. Daniel never ceases to brin g delight and wonder to his body of work.
\n\n Tousignant has attend ed the University of Minnesota\, Minneapolis College of Art and Design\, C hicago Art Institute\, Central School of Art in London\, and the highly r espected Royal Academy in London\, England.
\n\n
\n\n “I lov e recalling collective memories of peaceful horizons\, creating environmen ts with open\, expansive\, clear horizons – an old tree\, a vista of pastu reland\, and the distant billowing clouds of my lazy youth.”
\n\n Sanjay Vora
\n\n In his large-scale\, multi-layered paintings\, Sanjay Vora explores the realm of love\, memory and nostalgia through a p rocess of covering and retrieving representational\, figurative scenes wit h layers of repetitive abstraction.
\n\n
\n\n His works hav e been shown and collected throughout the United States including exhibiti ons in the San Francisco Bay Area\, Los Angeles\, Italy and Washington D.C . Sanjay’s latest group show\, Portraits\, was recently reviewed by DeWit t Cheng in the East Bay Express as well as Barbara Morris in the Septembe r/October 2011 issue of Art Ltd. Magazine. In 2002\, he obtained a BS in A rchitecture from the University of Virginia and received an MFA in painti ng from the San Francisco Art Institute in 2005. Sanjay is currently a Vis iting Lecturer in Painting at the University of California\, Berkeley\, an d he lives and works in Oakland\, California.
\n\n
\n 'Celebra
tion' is about a captured snapshot in time during my uncle's wedding in 19
86. The phrase\, 'let it last a little longer'\, repeatedly scratches thr
ough and across the entire surface in an attempt to retrieve this joyous s
cene from my past which is inevitably unattainable. Ultimately\, this pie
ce is about the beauty of the process of longing and the result of all of
the elements coming together. “-Sanjay Vora

Kn own as “Herbst Manor\,” the iconic 8\,000+ square foot Georgian mansion is located atop Pacific Heights at the corner of Divisadero and Pacific\, on e of the City’s most visible locations.
\n\n
\n\n Historical ly significant and elegant\, Herbst Manor is a stunning example of old-wor ld craftsmanship. The impressive home features spacious formal rooms\, a m aster bedroom\, a dramatic grand entry and stairway\, meticulous landscapi ng\, and a beautiful penthouse suite and outdoor terrace with sweeping pan oramic views of San Francisco Bay and the city. This year\, 24 spaces hav e been transformed by 27 of the West Coast’s top designers and will be ope n to the public during Showcase (list of designers below).
\n\n
\n\n Herbst Manor was built in 1899 by Ernest Coxhead\, the architect for San Francisco’s Holy Innocents Episcopal Church as well as several hom es in Pacific Heights. The home has had four owners over the past 114 yea rs and is a rich depository of San Francisco history. It was originally built in for Sarah Spooner\, an avid art collector transplanted from Phila delphia who filled the home with her collections. Upon her death in 1914 \, much of that collection was bequeathed to the deYoung Museum in Golden Gate Park. The home was purchased in 1906 – just before the great earthqu ake – by Herman Shainwald\, a co-founder of Buckbee Thorne & Co.\, one of the primary real estate companies in the Bay Area. In 1914\, John MacGreg or\, president of Union Iron Works\, purchased the home. MacGregor was ac tive citizen\, serving on the Board of Supervisors and the Parks Commissio n and supporting the San Francisco Symphony and Boy Scouts. Abraham Gruhn and his wife Lee Herbst Gruhn\, who purchased the house in 1967\, were als o avid art collectors and deYoung supporters who filled the home with thei r personal treasures\, including the iconic carousel horses\, which deligh ted passersby. Today\, the home is owned by the Gruhn’s nephew and his wi fe\, Mark and Karen Montoya.
\n\n
\n\n This year’s Showcase will run from April 27 – May 27 on Tuesdays through Sundays and Monday\, M emorial Day. In addition\, each Friday\, from 5:00pm to 7:00pm\, Showcase will host “Friday Nights at Showcase\,” a happy hour event with opportuni ties to meet designers and hear bout the latest trends.

\n Suzanne Parker states “I think of the figures in the paintings of this exhibition as guests who hav e appeared unbidden. Some are boisterous and rude\, others more refined an d ethereal. But most inhabit a world of anxiety\, where distorted and inco mplete bodies and featureless faces reside.”
\n\n Leah Jachimowicz stat es 'The materials we live among become a representation of who we are\, an d were. Although I am not a tailor\, I follow in the footsteps of my grand father in using his tools to express myself through my artwork. However fa r removed I may be from his experiences\, I hope to continue to honor my g randparent's will to survive as well as express their profound sense of lo ss through the art of print.'

\n May 5 - July 7\, 10am to 5pm daily\; Artist's reception S unday\, May 5\, 12-4pm
\n\n We are delighted to introduce a double e
xhibition from Canadian artist Gordon Halloran. Join us Sunday\, May 5 for
the debut of 'Ice Break' in the gallery space\, and 'Breaking Up is Hard
to Do' in Cornerstone Sonoma's reflecting pool. The opening reception with
the artist will begin outdoors from 12-2pm\, and move indoors from 2-4pm.
\n Halloran is known worldwide for his monumental public art i
nstallations exploding with pure pigments interacting with the crystal str
ucture of melting ice formations. For this show\, he has sourced a materia
l that allows him a process for creating permanent sculptures closest in a
ppearance to his frozen works. First\, he gets high resolution photos of h
is intensely pigmented and highly detailed ice paintings printed with UV-r
esistant archival inks on a flat-bed press. He then uses a controlled brea
king technique\, in ways very similar to the ice works\, to give the piece
s natural\, slightly ragged edges\, and assembles these shards into wall-h
ung or free-standing compositions. These sculptures are coated with clear
resin\, giving the surfaces a watery effect and emphasizing the saturation
of the colors. The works are suitable for indoor or outdoor settings in m
ost climates.
\n 'Ice Break' is an evolving commentary inspired
by the calving of Arctic icebergs and Claude Monet's impressionist Waterl
ilies. The exhibition explores the nature of ephemeral existence and its r
elationship to increasingly technologically-bound societies. 'Breaking Up
is Hard to Do' uses site\, scale and color to seduce the viewer with vibra
ncy\, luring us to the water's edge and into collective play. Viewers move
around the piece and it moves alongside them as the elements relate to ea
ch other\, as well as their site\, not just in space\, but over time as ea
ch moves in response to wind and wave.
\n Both exhibitions will
remain on display through July 7. The gallery is open daily from 10am-5pm
\, and the gardens at Cornerstone close at 4pm for private events.

\n\n Presented b y the Marin County Watercolor Society
\n\n
\n\n The Marin County Watercolor Society is a freewheeling group of artists whose primary interest is painting on location. And when memb ers of this group turn our attention to “the Bay\,” the result is the wide -ranging show now on display at the Bay Model. Our responses to “the Bay” are as individual as we are.
\n\n
\n Organized 43 years ago\, the Society in f act has no formal organization. Various members step up to coordinate suc h key tasks as treasurer\, newsletter editor\, membership coordinator\, we bsite manager and coordinators for shows\, publicity and mailings – and wh at are called “paint-outs.” These are usually held at local sites on the first and third Saturdays of the month\, along with several “away” paintin g trips each year. We present three or four shows each year at various Ma rin County venues\, and educational workshops as well.
\n\n
\n\n Enthusiasm for the beautiful\, accessible yet challenging medium of watercolor ensures t he vitality of the Society. We love what we do. We love to show our Mari n County neighbors and visitors what we do. And we love to welcome new me mbers.

Thomas Montgomery Newman. In addition\, Bay Area audiences will get their
first look at Darrell Grand Moultrie’s JAZZIN’\
, a sultry ballet set to music by Wynton Marsalis\, Duke Ellington\, Billy
Strayhorn\, and Andy Razaf. The bill also includes Michael Smuin’s roma
ntic and pastoral Chants d’Auvergne. Smuin Ball

Helen Pickett\, who studied as a dancer under Michael Sm uin at the San Francisco Ballet School\, returns to the Bay Area to set th e West Coast premiere of her ballet Petal on the Smuin dancers. Called “the perfect piece for spring” by Atlanta Maga zine and “a resonant exploration of emotional discovery” by The N ew York Times\, Petal sets pairs of dancers into sensual\, lyrical motion against a backdrop of vivid spring hues\, a ccompanied by the effervescent notes of Philip Glass and Thomas Montgomery Newman. The Resident Choreographer for Atlanta Ballet\, Pickett has set her works on companies around the world including Boston Ballet\, Washingt on Ballet\, Aspen Santa Fe Ballet\, Louisville Ballet\, Ballet X\, Royal B allet of Flanders\, Ballet West\, Dance Theatre of Harlem\, Semper Oper/Dr esden Ballet\, Vienna State Opera\, Scottish Ballet. She was one of the f irst choreographers to receive the Jerome Robbins Foundation’s New Essenti al Works Grant.
\n\n
\n Bay Area audiences will get their firs
t look at JAZZIN’\, a saucy and seductive ballet
from bold choreographer Darrell Grand Moultrie. About t
his highly diverse and sought-after artist The New York Times wri
tes\, “Moultrie moves his dancers around the stage with remarkable authori
ty. [He] is obviously someone to watch.” A Princess Grace Choreography Fe
llowship Award recipient and graduate of The Julliard School\, Moultrie in
tegrates multiple styles in his work\, which is marked by sharp contrasts\
, bold patterns\, and strong athleticism. In addition to choreographing f
or such renowned companies as Ailey 2\, The Julliard School\, and Ballet X
\, Moultrie was recently asked to create choreography for Beyonce’s Super
Bowl halftime performance.
\n Rounding out the program will be Mic hael Smuin’s Chants d’Auvergne\, which the S an Francisco Chronicle dubbed “one of Michael Smuin’s loveliest balle ts.” A series of solos\, duets\, trios\, and ensemble pieces set to Josep h Canteloube’s arrangement of 13 traditional French songs\, Ch ants d’Auvergne gives audiences a playful glimpse into the l ives of French villagers with choreography that includes classical ballet combinations peppered with hints of Petipa character dances.
\n\n De buting in San Francisco in 1994\, Smuin Ballet immediatel y established itself as one of the Bay Area’s most eagerly watched perform ing arts companies\, as “one of this country’s most entertaining\, origina l ballet troupes” (Dance Magazine)\, and as a dance company of in ternational acclaim\, performing to sold-out houses on European tours. Mic hael Smuin’s singular philosophy to create pieces which merge the diverse vocabularies of classical ballet and contemporary dance has served as the company’s touchstone since its beginning.
\n\n Now at the helm of S muin Ballet is Artistic and Executive Director Celia Fushille\, whose vision includes maintaining and increasing the company’s repu tation for presenting accessible and innovative repertoire\, attracting ne w audiences of all ages to the medium. The company has continued to highl ight works created by Smuin\, both for his own and for other ballet compan ies\, but Fushille also enriches its impressive repertoire with newer chor eographic voices\, bringing the Bay Area its first look at works by exciti ng choreographers from around the world\, as well as developing world prem ieres by company members. During its New York City visit last summer\, Sm uin Ballet was praised as “irresistible\, bright\, and breezy” by the New York Times\, which also noted\, “Smuin dancers are at their fines t.” The San Francisco Chronicle is a 2012-2013 season media spon sor.

ce.org) announces its 2013 San Francisco Home Season featuring
\n
\n\n “The Water is Clear and Sti ll” interweaves Liss Fain’s choreography with the spoken text of Kinc aid’s sharp-edged and beautiful stories. In this riveting performance inst allation\, the dance\, spoken text\, set\, and sound environment encompass the performers and the audience. The set—a river in a strangely eerie and surreal grove of trees—and sound environment surround the six dancers\, t he actor\, and the audience\, which moves at will into the performance spa ce\, close to the dancers\, and experiences the work from multiple perspec tives.
\n\n
\n\n “Fain’s choreography is both innovative and tied to geometric symmetries at the heart of ballet\,” wrote Lauren Galla gher in the San Francisco Examiner (May 28\, 2012). “She also wel comes audiences to either move around a piece\, or\, in the case of ‘T he Water Is Clear and Still\,’ into it.”
\n\n
\n\n Dance View described “The Water is Clear and Still” as 'anot her of Fain's transparent and finely shaped works.' The Bay Guardian< /em> wrote\, 'This type of work and Fain's type of craft are rare today. I t's a pleasure to see an active intelligence engaged in such full-bodied w ork.”
\n\n
\n\n Liss Fain’s work ranges from pure dance piec es to collaborations with composers\, lighting and set designers\, videogr aphers\, actors and technologists. The company’s performance installations bring the audience inside the set and close to the performers. Non-narrat ive\, highly physical and emotionally resonant\, Fain’s work fuses modern dance’s forceful energy with the kinetic precision of ballet. Since its fo unding in Boston in 1988\, Liss Fain Dance has premiered over 45 works by Ms. Fain and collaborated with individuals and organizations that include MIT’s Center for Advanced Visual Studies\, The Exploratorium and The Apple Multimedia Lab. The company has performed and taught at festivals and ven ues in Poland\, Germany\, Belarus\, Russia and the UK as well as colleges\ , universities\, festivals and presenting organizations in the US.

Two years after World War II\, the Kel ler family is torn apart by their patriarch’s moral weakness and a shamefu l family secret. With great tenderness and compassion\, this searing saga explores the ever changing sense of family\, social responsibility\, and v alues still relevant today\, as two very different generations seek to hea l and rebuild.
\n\n May 16 - June 16. Opening night is Frida y\, May 17 at 8PM.
\n\n Thursda y performances are at 7:30PM
\n\n Fridays and Saturdays at 8PM
\n\n Sunday matinee s at 2PM.
\n\n All My Sons tells the story of Joe Keller (Craig Christiansen)\, a self-made busines sman who lives a comfortable life with his wife\, Kate (Kristine A nn Lowry)\, and returning war veteran son\, Chris (Franci s Serpa)\, in a suburban middle American neighborhood. They have only one sadness in their lives – the loss of their other younger son\, La rry\, who went missing in World War II. While Kate still believes Larry is coming back\, Chris believes otherwise and would like her to give up that hope so he can marry Ann (Amber Collins Crane)\, Larry's former fiancée and the daughter of Steve Deever\, Joe’s former business p artner. Secrets and rumors race about the true story behind the accusation held against Joe and Steve for selling defective airplane parts to the US Army. While Joe’s name is cleared he falsely places the entire blame on S teve who is sent to jail. Inspired by a true story\, All My So ns is an unforgettable family drama about loss\, love\, and loyalties that escalates to an electrifying climax. All My Son s is directed by Caroline Altman\, produced by Wood Lockhart .

\nBroadcast from National Theatre London.
\n\n It 's 1974. The corridors of Westminster ring with sounds of infighting and b ackbiting as Britain's political parties battle to change the future of th e nation. Votes are won and lost\, fist fights erupt\, and sick MPs are ha uled in to cast votes. Graham's biting\, energetic and critically-acclaime d new play strips politics down to the practical realities of those behind the scenes who on occasion bend the rules.

This evening of dance will also include a new work by guest artist Summat ion Dance from New York City.
\n\n Based on the idea that everyone has a secret\, The Hush Hush Chronicles (World P remiere) tells of the juicy stories buried deep within us. Set in the late 1920’s at the height of Prohibition\, this world premiere explores the un disclosed elements we lock away\, and sometimes spill along the way. With an original score performed live by We Became Owls\, the seven da ncers who form The Anata Project bond together to create their own secret society of misfits.
\n\n Kittleslip (World Premiere) is a study about desire and the slippery nature of human exchan ge. An unstable trio falls\, slinks and slides their way through the waves of relationship\, just missing the connections so inherently desired. Set to an original score by LapCat\, Hubiak explores the ever changing nature of what we think we want...until we get it.
\n\n Also included in the evening performance are The Anata Project’s 659 Days of Ruby and Mr. S (2011) and a guest performance by Summation Dance from New York City titl ed Shift. This new work by choreographer Sumi Cl ements\, explores the notions of alternate planes of existence and paralle l universes\, as well as ideas of fate and its outcomes. Using intricate p atterning and distinct athleticism\, nine women embody this concept as the y create an atmosphere rife with tension\, compassion\, mystery and symmet ry. Shift features an original composition by fr equent Summation collaborator\, Kyle Olson.

\n\n In this training\, you will learn Ramaswami’s Vinyasa Krama Yoga\, an ancient practice of ph ysical and spiritual development. It is a systematic method to study\, pra ctice\, teach\, and adapt yoga. The vinyasa krama (movement and sequence m ethodology) approach to yogasana (yoga posture) practice is unique in all of yoga.
\n\n The week-long program will be focused on many of the 700 Vinyasas woven around several classical postures taught in 10 major sequences. Emp hasis will also be placed on breath synchronization with the movements so important to Krishnamacharya’s krama or method.
\n\n We will provide tea and sn acks during the training.
\n\n
\n\n
\n Krishnamacharya was the most influential figure in the last 100 years in the field of yoga and he has taught many of today's best-know n yoga teachers include Srivatsa Ramaswami\, founder of Vinyasa Krama Yoga \, B. K. S. Iyengar\, his son T. K. V. Desikachar (basis of Viniyoga)\, Pa ttabhi Jois\, founder of Ashtanga yoga\, Indra Devi and A.G. Mohan.Srivats a.
\n\n Srivatsa Ramaswami is the longest standing student of the le gendary Sri T. Krishnamacharya\, outside of the teacher’s immediate family \, having studied with him over three decades and is continuing the father hood of Vinyasa Yoga.
\n\n Srivatsa Ramaswami has written the books 'Yoga Beneath the Surface'\, 'Yoga for the Three Stages of Life'\, 'Basic Tenets of Pantanjala Yoga'\, and his most known book 'The Complete Book of Vinyasa Yoga'.
\n\n In this book Srivatsa Ramaswami presents his Sr i T. Krishnamacharya's teachings of yogasanas in unprecedented detail. Dra wing upon his 33 years of direct study\, beginning in 1955 and continuing nearly until his teacher's death\, Ramaswami presents more than nine hundr ed poses and variations in logically structured sequences\, precisely desc ribing Krishnamacharya's complete Vinyasakrama system.

\n\n Kent Island is a flood tida l delta that forms a barrier island in the interior of Bolinas Lagoon. In a natural state\, the island should have low growing dune plants adapted t o salt water inundation and sand burial and erosion that would allow the i sland to shift with wind\, wave\, and geologic factors and to rapidly reco ver after tectonic subsidence. However\, in recent years\, invasive nonnat ive plants have colonized the island\, displacing native plants and lockin g the island in place.

WONDERLAN D is another of Clark’s trademark “dansicals\,” a unique form of art and entertainment that she created more than 20 years ago to give oppo rtunities to local dancers and students who wanted to express themselves b eyond the classroom. The productions evolved into the creation of The Don’ t Quit Your Day Job Dancers® (DQYDJD)\, a diverse collection of people fro m all walks of life and work\, all sharing a passion for dance.
\n\n “My shows are a unique combination of art\, technique and storytelling. I choose various pieces of classical and modern music which I weave into a story that is then revealed through dance\,” explains Clark who directs an d choreographs. “The inspiration for this show came to me after seeing the hilarious film ‘Rock of Ages.’ I loved revisiting some of the classic roc k music and I was inspired to take ‘Alice’ on a whole new adventure.”
\n Clark continues\, “In this show we’re getting very inventive both wi th dance and with how we’re telling this beloved story. It’s a new twist o n something familiar that’s at times whimsical\, sensual\, moving and ente rtaining. And it’s a great show for the whole family!”
\n\n Now in i ts 21st year of performing for sold-out audiences\, DQYDJD is a company of dancers who\, by day\, are accountants\, engineers\, attorneys\, contract ors\, salesmen\, business owners\, managers\, laborers\, and more – a grou p of regular folks (ages 16 to 80) following their passion\, and doing wha t they love most.
\n\n WONDERLAND will be performed in Stage Dor’s 100-seat theatre on May 31\, June 1\, 7\, and 8 at 8:00 pm \, with matinees June 2 and 9 at 3:00 pm. Tickets are $25* and can be purc hased in person or by phone at our box office at (415) 339-1390 or by emai ling: tickets@stagedor.com

ng her famous inability to ever shut up.
\n Attending a Paula P

\n M
ore on Paula Poundstone:
\n Her spontaneity and intelligent humor has
made her the perfect panelist for NPR's Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me\, wher

e first woman to win an ACE award for Best Standup Comedy performance and
the first woman to be invited to perform at the distinguished White House
Correspondents dinner. She has starred in solo specials on HBO and BRAVO\,
has made frequent TV appearances on all the major talk shows and Garrison

Ms. McCue originally hails from Australia\, wh ile Mr. Olney and Mr. Webb just completed a triumphant debut tour of Austr alia. Currently Nashville-based\, all of them sport killer guitar prowess that artfully support their poignant\, stellar original songs\, many of wh ich have been recorded by other prominent artists.
\n\n 'The David Olney & Sergio Webb show defies description. It was highly UNUSUAL \, EXCITING\, ENGROSSING and OVER TOO SOON.' (NuCountry.com – Me lbourne\, Australia)

“...There are very few women working
the same territory as McCue who can combine TOUGH and VULNERABLE<
/strong>. That she does it with poise and a self-deprecating sense of humo

\n\n Ship strikes of w hales have been recognized as a growing concern worldwide. Documented ship strikes from NOAA NMFS data from 1988-2011\, occurring just within the GF NMS/CBNMS region\, total 20 whales killed by ships (i.e.\, death caused by vessel collision or carcass exhibited signs of trauma consistent with ves sel collision) and an additional 10 injured and possibly killed (i.e.\, co llision observed\, but final status unknown). The true number of ship str ikes could be at least 10 times higher than the number documented.
\n\n
\n\n A nthropogenic noise in the ocean\, including off the California coast\, has increased exponentially over the past 60 years\, largely due to the incre ased number\, size\, and tonnage of vessels in the commercial fleet. The s anctuaries\, given their coincidence with the TSS adjacent to San Francisc o Bay ports\, are especially susceptible to increased amounts of anthropog enic noise. Commercial vessels are responsible for relatively loud\, low-f requency underwater noise. This ship noise overlaps significantly with the frequency range used by many cetacean species\, especially with low-frequ ency vocalizers such as blue\, fin\, humpback\, and grey whales\, and can cause what is known as masking. Masking occurs when increased levels of ba ckground noise reduce an animal’s ability to detect relevant sounds and ca n hinder prey detection and reduce the range of communication.
\n\n
\n\n Protecting endangered species and sanctuary resources is a priority issue for the National Oceanic and Atmos pheric Administration (NOAA). To address this issue locally\, Gulf of the Farallones (GF) and Cordell Bank (CB) Sanctuary Advisory Councils formed a Joint Working Group (JWG) on Vessel Strikes and Acoustic Impacts\, repres ented by a diversity of stakeholders including the shipping industry\, and the conservation and scientific communities. Staff from federal agencies (including NMFS\, the Sanctuaries\, and the U.S. Coast Guard)\, as well as members of the scientific community and environmental organizations serve d as technical experts to the JWG. Over one year\, the JWG met and came to consensus on a set of recommendations to the sanctuary http://sanctuaries .noaa.gov/protect/shipstrike/pdfs/strikes_acoustic.pdf).

WONDERLAN D is another of Clark’s trademark “dansicals\,” a unique form of art and entertainment that she created more than 20 years ago to give oppo rtunities to local dancers and students who wanted to express themselves b eyond the classroom. The productions evolved into the creation of The Don’ t Quit Your Day Job Dancers® (DQYDJD)\, a diverse collection of people fro m all walks of life and work\, all sharing a passion for dance.
\n\n “My shows are a unique combination of art\, technique and storytelling. I choose various pieces of classical and modern music which I weave into a story that is then revealed through dance\,” explains Clark who directs an d choreographs. “The inspiration for this show came to me after seeing the hilarious film ‘Rock of Ages.’ I loved revisiting some of the classic roc k music and I was inspired to take ‘Alice’ on a whole new adventure.”
\n Clark continues\, “In this show we’re getting very inventive both wi th dance and with how we’re telling this beloved story. It’s a new twist o n something familiar that’s at times whimsical\, sensual\, moving and ente rtaining. And it’s a great show for the whole family!”
\n\n Now in i ts 21st year of performing for sold-out audiences\, DQYDJD is a company of dancers who\, by day\, are accountants\, engineers\, attorneys\, contract ors\, salesmen\, business owners\, managers\, laborers\, and more – a grou p of regular folks (ages 16 to 80) following their passion\, and doing wha t they love most.

It is the only event of its kind in the U nited States and the goal is to encourage the education and enrichment of the public\, cultivate a fertile art market\, and foster dialog between co llectors and makers of ceramic sculpture.
\n\n Part of Calif ornia’s continuing legacy of excellence and innovation in ceramics\, the C AA is the largest exhibition and art fair that is entirely focused on cera mic art in America and is modeled after the Ceramic Biennials held in Euro pe\, Korea\, Japan and China. It provides a venue for the top regional and international artists from working in the clay medium to show their work to a broader audience of collectors.
\n\n The CAA is organiz ed by the California Ceramics Cooperative\, a group of invested regional c eramic artists\, and will feature panel discussions\, lectures\, tours as well as daily interactive art demonstrations from 4-5 that will provide a greater understanding of the artistic process for students and educators a like. Schools located in the Bay Area will have free admission all day Fri day and should contact the Ceramics Annual for Reservations. Featured arti st and instructor Kevin Nierman\, author of “The Kids ‘N’ Clay Ceramics Bo ok\,” will provide “Artistic childcare” on Saturday and Sunday from 11-3.< /p>\n
\n The exhibition will be held in the 50\,000 square ft. F estival Hall at Ft. Mason\, capable of accommodating as many as 10\,000 pe ople. A popular attraction for countless national and international visito rs to the city\, Ft. Mason still resonates with the presence of the Califo rnia Funk movement of the sixties and seventies that inspired ceramic grea ts living in San Francisco today. Its close proximity to nature\, unique a rchitecture and nostalgic atmosphere contribute a breathtaking backdrop fo r an impressive array of Ceramic Sculptures.
