While I'm very hesitant by anything that claims "art","San Francisco",
and "alien civilizations" in the same description, it does sound like it
might be good. I'll check with Re-Cheng and see what she thinks. Count
us as tentative.

Friday, October 5, 2001 <br>
<br>
8:30PM <br>
<br>
$20, $15 advance or in costume <br>
<br>
----> Event Description <------------------------------------------------
<br>
<br>
ChaoticArtCircus, an original rock drama, debuts in San Francisco October
<br>
5th at Café Cocomo. The live production features the talents of more than
<br>
30 performance artists, including composers, musicians, dancers, <br>
illustrators, poets, vocal artists, robotic technicians, stilt walkers, <br>
puppeteers, magicians, divas, pyrotechnicians, and aromatherapists. <br>
ChaoticArtCircus creator and composer Lindsey Boullt wrote the original <br>
score and explained that the performance is “an artistic rendition of first
<br>
contact ­ the initial meeting of human and alien civilizations. <br>
<br>
“The ChaoticArtCircus was created to accomplish several things,” Boullt <br>
continued. “First, it’s strong music and it works toward the rejuvenation
<br>
of the San Francisco art scene by involving many different types of serious
<br>
local artists. Second, it’s meant to bring into relief the challenges and
<br>
possibilities we all see every day relating to differences in culture, <br>
nationality, color, ideology, religion, sex, and race. On top of all this,
<br>
the show is pure art; pure expression. It’s really great to be bringing all
<br>
of these artists together simply for art’s sake.” <br>
<br>
The score, featuring breakneck guitar tirades, moving ballads, rock <br>
anthems, and techno soundscapes, lays the foundation for the live show. The
<br>
band members, some internationally acclaimed, turn the score, sculpting the
<br>
story into fantastic shapes. A menagerie of dancers, (as in butoh, belly,
<br>
modern, fire, and even actual robots), accessories to this dramatization,
<br>
are presided over by an omni-present diva. <br>
<br>
Creative director Julnar Rizk indicated that the project has been met with
<br>
enthusiasm from San Francisco-based artists. "Lindsey has written music <br>
that is visually stimulating. Many of the performance and choreographic <br>
ideas proposed by the participating artists have been tremendous. <br>
<br>
“What will also be fascinating about this production,” Rizk continued, “is
<br>
how each artist will interpret this concept of ‘First Contact.’ Some are <br>
taking it quite literally and some will treat it as a metaphor. This isn't
<br>
just about extra-terrestrials. “First Contact” happens when two cultures <br>
meet, when two lovers touch, when a baby is born." <br>
<br>
The show has also attracted well-respected lighting and sound <br>
professionals, as well as arts patrons, from around the Bay Area. <br>
“Virtually everyone we’ve approached about being involved with the show,”
<br>
said producer Joe Gledhill, “ has said they see ChaoticArtCircus’ <br>
high-energy blending of artistic styles as fertile ground for the type of
<br>
collaborative expression that lasts well after the event. This show is <br>
meant to build bridges … between the artists and the audience and between
<br>
the artists themselves.” <br>
<br>
Tickets for ChaoticArtCircus are available online at <br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.chaoticartcircus.com">www.chaoticartcircus.com</a> and at the door. Admission is $15 in advance or
