D’Arc,
woman on fire Presented by Footloose at Shotwell Studios in San Francisco: Written & Performed by Amanda Moody Music Composed by Jay Cloidt Direction and Dramaturgy by Melissa Weaver Cello Performed by Elaine Kreston Produced by Mary Alice Fry and Agapé Performance Group Shotwell Studio is located at 3252-A 19th Street in San Francisco at the corner of Shotwell (between South Van Ness and Folsom) D’Arc offers a surreal inquiry into the costs of dreams, lived and unlived. Weaving the threads of the Dark Ages with our own dark times, “D’Arc” depicts a present-day intercession by Saint Joan of Arc. We meet Joanne. Home alone, she fixates on letters from her daughter who vanished while working abroad in a war-torn region. Raging against loss, Joanne receives bizarre visions through the cold flame of her television set. It is Saint Joan burning through the TV twilight to answer her grief. Relating tales of her own battles and trials, Joan teases and admonishes Joanne, disrupts her obsessions, and challenges her to listen anew to the call of her own life. |

Amy X Neuburg & the Cello ChiXtet "A wonderful performer/composer... [The Secret Language] songs channel the rhythms of urban life through the seriocomic sensibility of a born entertainer." -- Joshua Kosman, SF Chronicle "Amazing, triumphant, ambitious and soaring... There really is something evocative about the NYC subway that triggers the creative spirit. Mix in the Iraq war and 9/11, and you've got fertile ground for lots of fragments and images that coalesce into the songs that form the 'Subways' cycle." -- Craig Matsumoto, KZSU More cellos! Opening the show will be the incomparable Zoë Keating performing her one-woman orchestra of solo works for looped cello. |

RumiCello:
Eric Schneider and Elaine Kreston RumiCello is the collaborative presentation of two performers: Eric Schneider heartfully and joyously spouts contemporary translations of mystical poetry of Rumi, Hafiz, and Kabir to the inspired improvisational and classical cello of Elaine Kreston. Since Eric has memorized hundreds of poems, and Elaine plays a combination of memorized and improvised music, RumiCello performances are inspired spontaneity. Dessert & snack potluck at the break. A yummy evening indeed. |

The
San
Francisco Symphony Presents:
Amy X Neuburg & the Cello ChiXtet Classically trained vocalist Amy X Neuburg explores connections between classical, experimental, and popular music, and is the perfect artist to respond to the San Francisco Symphony’s performance of Berg’s Lulu Suite and the Beethoven Violin Concerto. She combines electronic looping, witty and provocative lyrics with the sounds of the Cello ChiXtet to create what they describe as “avant-cabaret” that is at once sharp and quirky. |
