JUNE WATANABE IN COMPANY Presents
Noh Project II (A WORK-IN-PROGRESS)
AT Headlands Center for the Arts, EASTWING
944 FORT BARRY, SAUSALITO, CA
AUGUST 3, 2003

MASTER CLASS ON JULY 20, 2003



June Watanabe in Company, in association with Headlands Center for the Arts,
presents a work-in-progress showing of Noh Project II (working title) on
Sunday August 3, 2003 at 4 pm, at Headlands Center for the Arts, Eastwing, 944
Fort Barry in Sausalito. Tickets are $10 general admission and $8 for HCA
members. For reservations, call 415-835-2115. Dinners are also available
following the performance/discussion. For directions, please visit
www.headlands.org/directions.

In conjunction with Noh Project II (working title), Noh Master Anshi! n Uchida
will teach a master class in Noh Drama and Dance on Sunday, July 20 from 1-
2:30pm at Headlands Center for the Arts, Eastwing, 944 Fort Barry in Sausalito.
The cost is $10 per student. The master class, which is open to all (dancers,
non-dancers, and artists of all disciplines), will be a study of
stillness/emptiness and ma - the time/space place of the in-between.

Noh Project II (working title) is an informal work-in-progress exploration of
an intercultural dance/performance/installation with choreographer/director
June Watanabe, Noh Master and Intangible Cultural Asset of Japan, Anshin
Uchida, noted poet Leslie Scalapino, and internationally renowned
composer/musician, Pauline Oliveros with three musicians (Philip Gelb -
Shakuhachi, Shoko Hikage - Koto, and Toyoji Tomita - Trombone). A discussion
with the artists will follow the performance.

Through the encounters of ancient and contemporary dance, music, and poetry,
the Noh style and form is looked a! t from a contemporary perspective. This
almost 700-year-old form has at its core, the very principle of human myth: the
character�s personal battle with fate, the complexity of life and death, and
man�s quest for wisdom and spirituality. This theme is especially relevant in
this tumultuous time of a globally distraught and spiritually deprived world.

Arts, presents an informal work-in-progress showing of Noh Project II (working

renowned Composer/Musician Pauline Oliveros with three Musicians (Philip Gelb
on Shakuhachi, Shoko Hikage on Koto, and Toyoji Tomita on Trombone). Through
structured and free improvisations, the artists seek common ground, a new
language, and all possibiliti! es of what the work can become.
