Caitlin McWethy

Sharyar, a King of Persia, is happily married until he discovers his wife has been unfaithful to him. In a rage, he kills his wife and vows to marry a woman each day and kill her the following morning until he has rid the world of women. Shahrazad, an over-confident young woman with an amazing gift for storytelling, marries the King in a foolhardy attempt to save woman-kind. With complete confidence in her gift of gab, she intends to finagle her life each morning by leaving the King with a cliff-hanger story, but she is rudely awakened when Sharyar proves he is a seriously wounded man who will kill her if she makes a wrong move. This raises the stakes of their relationship every night to a life or death situation. But, inadvertently, during the course of these 1,001 nights, Sharyar's hard outer exterior begins to fall away as he is awed by Shahrazad's extreme imagination and dedication to please (her dedication to please having evolved, inadvertently, from a need to save her own skin into an intense love of the King). The delicate balance is held until one day, Shahrazad runs out of stories. This realization leads to the dramatic climax: can Sharyar let go of his hate? And mostly importantly, will Shahrazad live?

HEIDI STUBBLEFIELD

THE COPPELIA PROJECT is a clown ballet that is based (loosely) on the ballet Coppelia which is(even more loosely) based on a story by ETA Hoffman called THE SANDMAN.

This creation revolves around a doll maker and doll he makes that is so beautiful, he refuses to finish her so to keep her for himself. The beauty he sees in her gives her life and spirit. Threatening circumstances require the doll maker to part with his beloved creation and force him to create more and more to no avail at recreating her beauty. The story questions our perception of beauty and deformity. It tip toes along the line of grotesque and buffoon to ballet and surrealism.

MIXED BLOOD WOMAN

A multi-media work incorporating dance, narration and video to explore the world of the ancient Cherokee fairies, the Yunwi Tsunsdi or the little people. Artist Statement For many Native American people in the South, simply being Indian and existing as a people has been a process of reclaiming, rising up from the earth and uncovering. We are those that stayed behind and hid out. Ours is a history of forced travel, separation, slavery, segregation, one-dropping and broken cords. The yunwi tsunsdi are an old spirit people and to know them is an old way. In spite of everything, they are still living and the people they have always helped are still living. The Little People explores the many ways of being of the yunwi tsunsdi. Their joyful, compassionate, mischievous, and revengeful natures: their shifts between worlds and crossings over. As we treat them, they react accordingly, helping or harming. They are a gauge of our behavior: a mirror of ourselves. The Little People is about the fairies of Cherokee country, but it is also about having, loosing and reclaiming traditional Cherokee beliefs and a conscious Native identity.

A Dinner Party (theater) mature

The NAC

'A Dinner Party' is the end of a love story. Michael Valentine has been invited to dinner by his ex partner Lawrence. It is 1943. England still has 2 more years before it is V.E. day, Rogers and Hammerstein open their new musical Oklahoma! And it is 24 years before homosexuality will become legal in the United Kingdom. The play is inspired by the great lyricist Lorenz Hart. Hart was famous for being half of the Broadway song writing team Rogers and Hart, producing hits like Blue Moon, The Lady is a Tramp and My Funny Valentine. He died in 1943 from pneumonia, but it is his battle with depression and alcoholism that is the source of inspiration for this play.

Torn by his sexuality and unable to cope with the pressures, or see his place in society, Lawrence Hart decides to take his own life and invites his past lover Michael Valentine to dinner to see him for one last time.

The opening scene finds Lawrence sitting in his dining room seen writing a letter. Moments later there is a knock at the door. It is Michael, a man who has a past with Lawrence and may be the last chance Lawrence has of finding peace and solace in his life. As the story unfolds the history of the characters comes out and lives are torn apart in this tragic dinner party.
