THE WAY OF WATER BY CARIDAD SVICH HOUR OF 5 S PERFORMANCE WORK ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW UNDERGRADUATE ONE-ACTS SOLO EXPLORATIONS MAIN STAGE DANCE

THE EDGE PERFORMANCE FESTVAL 2012 Artistic Director: David Grenke ASSISTANT ARTISTIC DIRECTOR: WILL klundt PRODUCTION : EMILY CATES COMPANY MANAGERS: AVERY LINCOLN, Jennifer varat LIGHTING design supervisor: KOURTNEY LAMPEDECCHIO Program Notes On March 13 the Department of Theatre and Dance lost an admired and respected colleague and friend. Della Davidson came to the University of California, Davis in 2001 as a professor of dance and choreography. During her time the department she was instrumental in the development of the MFA program. She nearly single-handedly built the MFA in choreography curriculum and attracted top caliber students who entered the program. In the area of undergraduate education she nurtured and guided students into a world of infinite possibilities and the power of embodied learning. She empowered them. Della was the reason that I chose to join the department. She was there to welcome me. She represented the department and she listened and intrigued and revealed and we had kindred experiences and processes. Many students over the years have told me of their experiences in Della s classes where they were prodded thought provoking questions, had their views expanded and always felt nurtured, supported and heard. She was the soul and conscience of the dance emphasis in Theatre and Dance and she exemplified the humanity of the department. The students and faculty of the university and community have been the beneficiaries of Della s time us and her work as a teacher, choreographer, colleague and friend. She will be greatly missed but her influence will continue to enable the evolution of the department s programs.

Emily Cates Stage CREW Bobby August Maria Candelaria Aaron Jessup SOUNd DESIGNER Alina Osterlund Unique productions by graduating Master s of Fine Arts candidates in acting. We Do What We Do by Will Klundt Musician Dan Cato Wilson assistant Alex Choi In this piece I am curious about how a performer creates a rapport the audience, and once you have that rapport, what can be done it? The political events that inspired the Occupy movement inspired me. I was also inspired by issues of power, violence, and duty. --Will Klundt Will Klundt Bio Will Klundt is an MFA acting candidate the UC Davis Department of Theatre and Dance. He has performed as Guildenstern in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, Lysander/Flute in A Midsummer Night s Dream, Ishmael in The Moby Dick Variations, Orsino in Twelfth Night, Mitch Albom in Tuesdays Morrie, Joe Pitt in Angels in America, Mason Marsac in Take Me Out, Claudio in Much Ado About Nothing, Stephen Belber and others in The Laramie Project, and John Wilkes Booth in The America Play. At various times he has been an associate producer of the Davis Shakespeare Ensemble, a board member at Las Vegas Little Theatre, an artistic associate of the Atlas Theatre Ensemble, an associate instructor at UC Davis and the head of the drama departments at Shadow Ridge High School, Moriarty High School and Jim Bridger Middle School. 4 Travelin Light by Afi Ayanna Society has a tendency to paint or project identity on the body in its observation. I am exploring the oral tradition of storytelling, the use of the speaking and singing voice and the history of memory: how the stories we tell ourselves shift our construction of self over time. My solo performance piece is based on my love for the jazz aesthetic in music and performance and a tragicomic approach in examining the era of the Great Migration in African-American history, the sacred in secular; the profane in the spiritual. Inspired by the evocative music and women of the Classic Blues era. At the beginning of the 20th century, the African-American women who defined the classic blues were able to achieve a form of equality and notoriety in the burgeoning American entertainment industry. My discoveries of the Harlem Renaissance unveil the rich, lasting contributions this era made on present day American culture. Music by Duke Ellington original lyrics by burgeoning Jazz singer Andrea Claburn. I am thankful for all the help that folks have contributed to this project. Much gratitude to my academic advisors on the project: Professors Bella Merlin, Peter Lichtenfels and Danielle Heard. Thank you Kyle Knobel for video production and DenizAskin for the extra eye on movement in Echoes of Harlem. Special thanks to Janeare Magenta Ashley, my vocal coach and musical patron. And last but not least, hats off to the fabulous musicians Michael tiny Lindsey on bass and Eli Goldlink on piano! --Afi Ayanna Afi Ayanna Bio Afi Ayanna currently has her eyes on the prize in nearing completion of her MFA in acting at UC Davis. She has been acting professionally in film and theatre in the Bay Area for the last decade. Some of Afi s favorite endeavors are as a puppeteer for the Big Tadoo Puppet Crew, devising theatre for the non-profit Mystic Family Circus, numerous seasons the Mendocino Theatre Company and San Francisco Shakespeare Festival, an award-winning team member of the SF 48-Hour Film Festival, and her featured role in the independent film Everyday Blackman available on Entertainment One DVD. The film also was available On-Demand, BET and Centric TV last spring. Researching, writing, designing, and acting as her own director in Travelin Light has been an amazing challenge and she looks forward to further developing this concept. Where Eagles Dare: Mission to Mars by Jeremy Oase Come experience this extremely serious and heartwarming tale of NASA special mission specialist (in charge of cockroaches) Shane Thompson, who blasts off from Earth on a mission to Mars in order to save mankind. What trials will he face along the way? Inspired by true events. You ve never seen anything like it. Plus the appearance of a special guest. And a person from the studio audience will be eaten alive. Any volunteers would be most appreciated. --Jeremy Oase Jeremy Oase Bio Jeremy Oase is currently pursuing his MFA in acting at UC Davis. He was last on stage as Claudius in Michael Barakiva s Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead at the UC Davis Department of Theatre and Dance s Main Theatre. Previous work includes Capital Stage s production of Jesus Hopped the A Train in the role of D Amico. He is a graduate of the School of Steppenwolf and Artistic Associate of Collaboraction Theater Company in Chicago. 5

ABOUT THE CHOREOGRAPHIES/CHOREOGRAPHERS A Study In Tangents by Piper Sloan This piece is derived from studying the use of diagonals in space and on the body as well as movement that is based on where the hand leads the body. Piper Sloan started dance almost as soon as she could walk. As a child she studied every style of dance from ballet to tap to modern. In her teen years she focused strictly on ballet training at San Francisco Ballet School. After taking a break from dance for a few years she has come back to dance a passion for learning new styles of dance and choreographing. Nocturnal Creatures by Sarah Abelson Abelson s piece explores animal movement and behavior, and how the line between human and animal behavior can become blurred. It is also interested in the way that animals move and how they decide to travel in packs or alone. Dancers will portray creatures, or animal/human hybrids. Sarah Abelson is a fourth-year dramatic art major a dance emphasis. This is her first time being involved in the Main Stage Dance Production at UC Davis and she is very grateful for the opportunity to be able to choreograph and dance in it. You may have also seen her dance/choreography in clubs such as The Dead Arts Society and Unbound Progression. Out of Our Mouths by Stephanie Treen Out of Our Mouths is a modern dance piece that explores the concept of the darkness inside humans and the effect that pain can have on manipulating the human spirit. Dancers will emerge from body bags, exiting these bags in different ways, much like hidden things can escape from dark places into a world where the light shows them as they really are. This is Stephanie Treen s third-year dancing as a part of Main Stage Dance and her debut as a choreographer for the show. She has loved dancing and directing her friends in theatrical performances since she was little and is very grateful for the opportunity to share her work a larger audience. Only One Direction by Avery Lincoln We, as a society, travel through life isolating ourselves from others. However, we, as individuals, long for interpersonal connections. Lincoln s inspiration for movement and spacing came from the music she is using. The concept for the piece came from situations where she noticed people all around her but everyone was unwilling to acknowledge that the group was there. Avery Lincoln is a third year dramatic art and psychology double major. She has danced her whole life and performed in the Edge Festival for the last two years. She is very excited to be choreographing for the first time. She hopes you all enjoy the performance! Anonymous by Iu-Hui Chua Chua s piece looks at the current ideas of womanhood, body, and feminism to explore present day relationships between the feminine, society and self. Chua was inspired by her all-female ensemble and the life experiences, perspectives, and stories they each contributed to create the piece. Iu-Hui Chua is a first year master s candidate in choreography. Her work has been presented at the SF International Arts Festival, Apature, SF Art Institute, ODC Summerfest, Yugen Presents, Mills College, Sea Ranch and several international sitespecific locations. Primary influences have been through working and performing Anna Halprin and dancing as a company member Ledoh and Saltfarm, Dandelion Dancetheater, Headmistress, Theaterworks and Labayen Dance. Her newest interest has led to creating environmental dances for video collaborator Terre Parker and working on a multi-media collaboration Dan Kwong, which premiered in Los Angeles last May. She has taught in Europe, Asia and California and has been Artistic Director of the Raw Egg Collective and Co-Artistic Director Nature Theater of Oklahoma and Open Experiments Ensemble. W8up by Lauren Godla Godla was inspired by observations of how technology affects our lives, and the irony of seeing couples, friends, or families eating a meal together and half of the group is engaged in some sort of activity involving their cell phone. W8up will question our dependency on our devices and their effect on isolating us from our physical surroundings. This is Lauren Godla s first year participating in Main Stage Dance as a dancer and choreographer. After graduating in the spring, she plans on attending a teaching credential program at UCSC, then hopes to teach dance to children in public schools. 6 7

MAIN STAGE DANCE (continued) A Mother s Love by Angel Rodriguez-Spindler A Mother s Love explores the darker side of love between parent and child brought on by Munchausen syndrome by proxy, a rare condition in which a primary caretaker exhibits exaggeration or fabrication of the symptoms of his or her patient. Rodriguez- Spindler wants to make the audience not only aware of the effects of this syndrome, but also slightly uncomfortable in seeing the darker side of a mother s love. Angel is a junior graduating this spring a psychology and dramatic art double major. This is his third year participating in spring dance and his debut as a choreographer. He is very excited to showcase his piece along his extraordinary dancers. It has been a rough and on-going quarter, but he has managed to pull through due to the help of the Theatre and Dance Department faculty, especially David Grenke. Angel recently got married this past August in New York to his handsome husband Will Spindler. He wants to thank Will for giving him the courage and support to continue on even when things seemed impossible. He also wants to thank his beautiful dancers for bearing through this process him; they are amazing. He can t wait to see what the world has to offer because he will take any chance he gets. The Cloud Factory by Christine Germain This piece investigates the candid perspective of children who are questioning adults conscious or non-conscious choices regarding environmental issues and abuse of power. It goes from observing the clouds in their multiple creative forms to the disillusionment of a not-so-perfect world. Christine Germain was born in Québec, Canada. She earned her BA in contemporary dance from Concordia University in Montreal. In 2006, she moved to San Francisco and in less than a year, received the CA$H grant from Dancers Group and Bay Area Theatre, and created her company Christine Germain & Dancers. She became fiscally sponsored by CounterPULSE where she presented an evening length performance in 2007 and other works in progress as part of their Second Sundays event in 2007 and 2009. Christine participated in ODC Dance Pilot mentorship program in November 2008. She presented her work at the American Dance Guild Festival in New York City in September 2009. In July 2011 she was invited by Scott Wells to be an artist in residence at DanceGround Keriac studio in San Francisco. Germain was recently awarded the UCD & Humanities Graduate Research Award for the 2012-13 academic year. She is thrilled to share her passion UC Davis students and is very grateful for the collaboration and cooperation of everyone involved in The Cloud Factory.

UNDERGRADUATE ONE-ACTS/HOUR OF 5 S Lab A, Wright Hall April 13 & 20, 9pm -- April 15, 5 pm -- April 22, 2 pm The length of this production is one hour out intermission. It contains mature adult content and is rated PG-13. Before the performance begins, please note the exit closest to your seat. Kindly silence your cell phone, pager, and other electronic devices. Video, photographic or audio recording of this production is strictly prohibited by law. Food and drink are not permitted in the theatre. Thank you for your cooperation. No Need for Words UNDERGRADUATE ONE-ACTS Playwright s Note This piece was inspired by a reading about American Pantomime. Unlike Classical Pantomime, or Whiteface, American Pantomime is realistic rather than impressionistic. So, I wondered what it would be like to take it a step further: Perform situations where there would naturally be non-verbal communication and interaction and see how effectively can it convey information to outside observers; like watching a couple staring at, smiling at, and reaching for each other as they sip their caramel macchiatos at the café at B&N. Mark Suarez Director s Note My big inspiration for the piece comes from pictures of model homes in magazines, houses that are far too pristine and orderly for anyone to realistically live in them. In the piece, we re exploring what a model life might be like, both its pleasures and pitfalls. --Ryan Geraghty The Tomato Playwright s Note I like the idea of someone else living in your house when you re not home and what it would be like to meet this person. Not that I actually want that to ever happen, because that s scary in real life, but on stage it s funny and interesting. The Tomato went though several iterations as I developed the ideas and what sort of tone I wanted to hit. At some point quantum physics came up, and it was all downhill from there. The finished result is something like if Everybody Loves Raymond suddenly turned into a Twilight Zone episode. The most unique aspect of The Tomato is the ideas, and how they are related. Somehow the idea of quantum tunneling taken to an unreasonable extreme, and whether a tomato is a fruit or a vegetable, are both important plot points. --John Malin Director s Note The Tomato draws on a discrepancy that distinguishes many elements in which our society is constructed. I plan to take the writer s ingenuity this script to conceptualize a production that causes one to challenge their understanding of their existence in the world and the world s existence in their own life. --Riha Pathak 12 An Adaptation of F.T. Marinetti s Feet Director s Note This devised piece is an adaptation of Feet, written by the father of futurism, F.T. Marinetti. It was created in rehearsal by the director and the ensemble members and showcases the image and actions of feet by a diverse group of people and characters. --Jaki Joanino Welcome to Heaven Playwright s Note My dad passed away spring quarter of last year and one of the things I ve struggled the most is wondering if he really has gone on to a better place. I based the character of Sean almost entirely off of my dad and his story. I used writing Welcome to Heaven as a therapeutic way to deal my own grief and explore the idea of what I d hope heaven would be. Welcome to Heaven is unique because normally death and grief is explored through the people that have lost someone. I explore it through the people that have been lost. --Jenny Adler Director s Note I have always had a fascination different interpretations of the afterlife, and I m excited to be bringing Jenny s vision to the stage. With this piece, I wanted to incorporate an element of magic. With the incredible world created by Jenny, the cast and I have had a lot of room to create unique moments that don t coincide reality. The play is divided into three distinct worlds: Purgatory, Heaven and Earth. Each environment is so unique that they become characters themselves, different spaces for the ensemble to explore. --Kevin Adamski No Need for Words Written by Mark Suarez Kevin Chung CAST Wife......
