Alicia Dattner, Katie Rubin, and Barbara Michaels

Description

Alicia Dattner, Katie Rubin, and Barbara Michaels doing three evenings of solo-show work together.

Alicia Dattner, "Eat, Pray, Laugh"

Eat, Pray, Laugh is the story of one woman's journey through India, Thailand, and Cambodia in search of God, Truth, and Air Conditioning. Alicia takes on the Indian Mustache Epidemic, French yoga teachers, "Spiritual Materialists" and New Age seekers, the sideways head nod, chicken tikka masala, meditation and "monkey mind," Annoying American Tourists, expatriates living in India, Bollywood and water buffalo, the nature of reality and fabric of time and space, being a stowaway on the Indian Railway, eating with your hands, and pooping in holes.

Katie Rubin, "Indecision Collision"

As Indecision Collision's protagonist, Katie, continues to walk her spiritual path, we meet several characters (10 all told) whom Katie has either dated, asked for advice about dating, or decided to avoid the dating topic with entirely. What makes this piece as potent and relateable is both the narrating voice's poetic quality and the writer/performer's ability to move seemlessly back and forth between a wide array of characters. She plays a neurotic, Jewish CEO (her father), a saccarine Yogi with a sex addiction problem, an aggressive Landmark Workshop Leader, a disempowered midwestern housewife, a supercharged, raw food and juicing junky of a jewish mom of three, an angel/healer/spiritualist, a controlling therapist, a real Buddhist, and several others. The dating struggle, she finds, is truly a search for self. Can she stand in her full power and vulnerability? Or will she shrink from it and sell herself short? Or will it be a bit of both? Come see. It'll be fun indeed.

Barbara Michaels, "The Doormen"

Lovers and others change our lives, opening doors for us that we may ultimately walk through alone... Sometimes that door bangs your butt across the threshold. Sometimes you shake the handle hard, but it's locked tight, or so it seems. Sometimes you dive through with glee only to crumble with longing on the other side. Sometimes you're looking for someone who will both open the door and walk through it with you. And all these moments, the searing and the cheering, are precious, shared, and finally appreciated. The Doormen, as presented here, is an excerpt of a longer show being developed under the wing of the San Francisco Circus Center Clown Conservatory. Look for a daytime walking tour version of The Doormen at the 2008 San Francisco Fringe.
