Experience Boundless Eclectic in performance – a unique, multigenerational collaboration of our homeschool youth with highly seasoned, professional musicians/dancers, including Co-Directors Artis & Hermione, as well as Latteta Theresa (our Music Director) – a world-class Master Elder Musician/Composer, Marc Blackwood of Inner Loop, and other special guests.

This evening length performance blends dance, movement, music, soundscapes, spoken word, and percussion in a metaphorical, non-linear narrative which explores the quest for Freedom – both historically, with regards to civil rights, and on a personal level, encouraging a continual journey of self-liberation. Why do we have conflicts? How do we resolve them? What choices do we make? In what ways do we hold ourselves back? How can we embody Freedom, every day?

Description:

Zero Cost House was initially conceived as a meditation on how Henry David Thoreau’s Walden changed the playwright’s life. The Japanese tsunami of 2011 occurred while Toshiki Okada was writing the play, which left him reflecting even more deeply on the disruptions that come from natural disasters and the uneasy compromises between radical idealism and contemporary living.

Known for its raucous performance spirit, Pig Iron Theatre Company is the first English-language company to premiere Okada’s work and is making its Clarice Smith Center debut with Zero Cost House.

Founded in 1995 as an interdisciplinary ensemble, the company is dedicated to the creation of new and exuberant performance works that defy easy categorization. The company calls itself a “dance-clown-theatre ensemble” whose focus moves from character to space to contact with the audience. Individual pieces have been called “soundscape and spectacle,” “cabaret-ballet” and “avant-garde shadow puppet dessert-theatre.” As one company member put it, “We have a hard time sitting still.”

This project is partially supported by a grant from Pennsylvania Performing Arts on Tour, a program developed and funded by The Heinz Endowments; the William Penn Foundation; the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, a state agency; and The Pew Charitable Trusts; and administered by Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation.

Description: How do you cope when everything you’ve learned begins falling apart? Sam Mauceri’s original work Seagirl utilizes theatre, dance and movement to explore a young woman’s attempts at unpacking her own prejudices in a world that wishes she wouldn’t. Feminist punk music and a longing for radical ideas invade a culture of conventionality in this partnership between The School of Theatre, Dance and Performance Studies and The Weekday Players.
