Bare Bones Butoh Presents 12: One Night Only!


BARE BONES BUTOH PRESENTS 12
A Benefit to Help Bring Other Butoh Masters to San Francisco

WHEN: Friday Nov 21, 2008 ONLY!
The performance starts at 8:00 pm

WHERE: Studio 210, located within the Old Sears Building at 3435 Cesar Chavez (inset from the corner of Cesar Chavez and Valencia).
There is plenty of on the street parking. It's four blocks from the 24th St. BART Station, and MUNI buses #27, #26, #14, and #49 will drop you off a block from our door.

TICKETS: $5-$20 sliding scale, no one turned away for lack of funds.
Additonal donations are always graciously accepted and gratefully appreciated.

WHAT: Bare Bones Butoh Presents is a Butoh/performance art/ritual performace showcase/platform for local and international performers to show new works we're in the process of developing, try stuff out, hone our improv chops, redo/revisit material we've done before but want to continue to explore, or even to bring out old favorites we would just like to do again. The audience only pays a minimal fee, so everybody wins!

Hosted by a veteran group of Bay Area Butoh performers, Bare Bones Butoh Presents employs the grassroots ethic of working together to sustan our artistic culture.

Thus far in its over two year (!) history, every Bare Bones Butoh Presents show is a Benefit Peformance. It serves not only as a performance outlet, but also as a fundraising platform which supports local Butoh and Performance Artists in need. Our 12th show is no exception. All proceeds from these performances go towards enabling Butoh SanFrancisco to bring out of town and international Butoh Masters to our fair burg, thus enriching the entire community.

Bare Bones Butoh is community building and performance all smushed together into two evenings.

WHO: The weekend line-up this time around consists of performers Christina Braun, Deborah Butler, Darya Chernova, Shelley Cook, Michael Curran, Elzza Doll, Martha Matsuda, Liz Saari-Filippone, Constance Taylor, and Bob Webb.
Surprise guests (local, national, and international) are also frequently known to make an appearance. It's that kind of show.

We hope to see you there as well.
