Focusing on wellness and self help during the process of creating "This Year Is Different..." has been both illuminating and challenging. This morning I read "The River" by Thich Nhat Hanh. I'm sharing it here because it describes a process of self understanding similar to my personal transformation instigated by creating this piece for the Artist-In-Residence Program. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Once upon a time there was a beautiful river finding her way among the hills, forests, and meadows. She began by being a

I am currently working my latest dance piece called Silenced. It is a piece honoring the life of Cambodian pop icon Ros Serey Sothea mixing some of her songs from 1960’s Cambodian pop music with original compositions for guitar composed by my long time composer, Alexis Alrich. The piece is also integrated with video imagery, designed by Olivia Ting, as a backdrop throughout the piece. In the first part of the piece I will use Classical Cambodian dance vocabulary as

Jesse Zaritt on “You’re Me”

2016-04-07T01:43:24-07:00By Faye Driscoll|Categories: CounterPULSE, Faye Driscoll|Tags: artist in residence, faye driscoll, jesse zaritt|

Jesse Zaritt, my co-performer in You're Me, recently wrote an essay on the work which can be found in full on Culturebot: "What is at stake in Faye’s work – especially the duet You’re Me – is a question of how far the performance of self can be extended. What kind of radical intervention could break open a space in the social fabric that will give us back some choice, the possibility to be other than who we have been

richien: Twindependent: CounterPULSE

Jennifer Chien and I, Rowena Richie -- a.k.a. "richien"-- have settled on a new title for our piece. After much musing, wordplaying, and a poll we announce: Twindependent, formerly known as Twinstigate. We wanted to change the title from Twinstigate in part because we are past the instigating stage of the process. As the other winter artists-in-residence, along with Miriam Wolodarski, we are now in show-mode. Here's our two-sentence show description: Inspired by both the scientific and metaphorical implications of twinship,

We are in full effect with the food parties and gatherings that will lead up to the remount of Our Daily Bread at CounterPULSE coming up this November 15-18. Though I love the performance work, I have to say these parties are what really FEED me! (yes, pun fully INTENDED!) Coming together with folks in public as well as private spaces to share food, stories and get to know folks in deeper ways is really what it is all about.

Exodus. Last chapter, last verse of Porn a la Mexicana In the end there was La Cucaracha and she was pronounced dead: dead and alive--alive and dead with a bud light. (response to Guillermo Nericcio Garcia's birth of a Latina Bombshell) Everyone has dealt with at least one in their space and some of us have had to deal with being called a roach, a cucaracha, vermin. Rumors of Mexicans and other unwanted pests, infesting and infecting, scurry across the
