Some of the films Dmae will showcase are: Unfinished Spaces - an historical documentary about three architects who in 1961 attempted to create three arts buildings in Cuba at Fidel Castro's invitation. 40 years later the buildings remain unfinished and decaying. This film chronicles of what changed in Cuba that made it impossible for the buildings to be completed. Pink Ribbons, Inc. - an Canadian investigative documentary about the commercialization and breast cancer industry, especially timely now because of the recent Susan G. Komen Foundation controversy. (see photo above left) Where Are You Taking Me? Kimi Takesue lyrical and beautifully photographed travelogue in Uganda without narration and very little dialogue that presents everyday life of a country healing from a war-torn, violent history. Almanya - a family comedy/drama about a Turkish worker who makes a life for himself in Germany. The Fairy - a whimsical French film about a hotel worker falls in love with woman who claims to be a fairy who grants him three wishes. This delightful off-beat comedy features a trio of performers skilled in circus arts who employ great physical humor with hilarious dance numbers. A sure hit at PIFF! How Much Does Your Building Weigh? - a mesmerizing documentary about the astounding eco-friendly architecture of Norman Foster, a colleague of Buckminster Fuller. This film is about a quest to make life better by designing beautiful, sustainable buildings that might offer solutions to a society and culture.

CleanPlaywrights Susan Mach and Claire Willett | Dmae Roberts talks with playwrights nbsp;Susan Mach and nbsp;Claire Willett. Oregon Book Award-winner Susan Mach's A Noble Failure isnbsp;the winner of CoHo Productions' NEWxNW Playwrighting Competition. Artist's Reperatory Theater presents a staged reading of Willett's Dear Galileo, both as part of the Fertile Ground Festival of New Works. Hear this frank discussion of what it take to get the play from page to stage and the big ideas behind their new works. Featured music by Molly Baucham from her new CD Maid On The Shore. [caption id="attachment_1033" align="alignright" width="150" caption="Susan Mach"][/caption] Susan Mach's A Noble Failure is about what happens when a public school gets co-opted by a private for- profit company.nbsp;The genesis of the play began with the creation of the character Rosalyn, a lifelong teacher who never imagined herself as anything else. nbsp; She is trying to keep a young Russian immigrant, Ivan, in school after he gets in trouble for tagging the library and destroying a trophy case.nbsp; Rosalyn is an English teacher modeled after influential instructors of Mach's. Much of the play is a response to the current broken public school system. It speaks to hownbsp;career teachers are being maligned and demonized in the media for economic and social ills beyond their control, and how public schools are being shut down in record numbers, replaced by privately owned charter schools that often cherry-pick students, disregarding those with low incomes and/or learning disabilities. [caption id="attachment_1034" align="alignleft" width="150" caption="Claire Willett"][/caption] Claire Willett's Dear Galileo looks at three women in three different times who wrestle withnbsp;their identity, the conflict between science and religion, and what it means to be their fathersrsquo;nbsp;daughters.nbsp;In Renaissance Italy, Celeste Galilei lives under house arrest with her elderly father Galileo, the disgracednbsp;astronomer who wants to defy the Pope yet again by publishing one last book. In a small town in Texas, creationist author and TV pundit Robert Snow is at a loss when his 10-year-old daughter Haleyrsquo;s newfound passion for science begins to pull her away from the Biblical teachings of her upbringing.nbsp;And in Swift Trail Junction, Arizona, home of the Vatican Observatoryrsquo;s U.S. outpost, New York sculptornbsp;Cassie Willows arrives to find that her estranged father, world-renowned astrophysicist Jasper Willows, has gone missing. As the three stories move toward their point of convergence, the destinies of each become inextricably bound with the others, linked through time by love, family, grief, faith and the search for identity.

This half-hour doucumentary was nbsp;first produced in 1988 with playwright Dorothy Velasco and tells the storynbsp;of a young woman fromnbsp;Cottage Grove, Oregon who became the center of an international controversy when critics declared her diary a hoax. In 1920 she published a childhood diary about her time in the woods and her love of nature.nbsp;The Story of Opal: The Journal of an Understanding Soulrdquo; was the #2 bestseller that year, following Sinclair Lewisrsquo; ldquo;Mainstreet.rdquo; The diary became wildly popular and then nbsp;later critics doubted the poetic diary was written by a child. This led to an international controversy that drove Opal Whiteley out of the country and eventually led to her decline in mental health.nbsp;To this day, Opal Whiteley and her diary remains a controversy and a mystery. Talking With The Wind: The Mystery of Opal Whitelyrdquo; was originally produced in 1988 by Dmae Roberts and Dorothy Velasco with funding from the Oregon Humanities. Music was composed and performed by John Doan. The voice of young Opal was played by Laurie Robson. Engineering help by Ron Royer.

This holiday season, Do Jump! presents their new holiday show,nbsp;Ahhh HA.nbsp;Dmae will also feature an audio piece from nbsp;Hand2Mouth ensemble member Erin Leddy, highlighting hernbsp;return to Portland after touring to Seattle and New Orleans with "My Mind Is Like An Open Meadow." The show won five Portland Drammy awards including Outstanding Production of 2010-11.

For over one-third of a century, Founder and Artistic Director Robin Lane has led the Do Jump!

Erin Leddy - "My Mind nbsp; is Like an Open Meadow" For the last 8 years, Erin has been a Company Member of Hand2Mouth Theatre, creating, performing and touring new theatre.nbsp;In 2001, she lived with her grandmother for a year and recorded her memoirs. These tapes form the bones for this solo performance: a meditation on consciousness, memory and things passed down through generations. "My Mind Is Like An Open Meadow" exists in a strange control station of the mind where stories, songs and dances appear and vanish, conveying the inner life of both Erin and her grandmother. "My Mind Is like An Open Meadow" is directed by Hand2Mouth Artistic Director Jonathan Walters. Together Walters, Leddy and collaborators Chris Kuhl, Ash Black Bufflo, Holcombe Waller and Jane Paik craft a sonic and visual world where memory overcomes the live performance and the two realms begin to blur into an elegant mixture of lighting, pre‐recorded voice, music, dance and scenery. "My Mind Is like An Open Meadow"nbsp;runs from December 1 - 11: Thursday - Sunday at 8pm and December 10 and 11 at 2pm atnbsp;Ethos at IFCC/5340 N Interstate Ave.nbsp;Tickets arenbsp; $12-18.

CleanThe Language of Flowers | Dmae Roberts talks with author Vanessa Diffenbaugh about her debut novel The Language of Flowers. This debut novel has been a hit in Europe and has recently launched in America. The book tells parallel stories of a young woman raised in the foster care system who finds redemption and a future through the Victorian language of flower arrangements. The movie rights for this powerful story was the subject of an auction. She's also creating a national movement to support those emancipated form the foster care system through her Camellia Network. Featured music is Violinist and Composer Aaron Meyer from his CD Near The Edge. Find out more at AaronMeyer.com. Vanessa Diffenbaugh created a flower dictionary based on the long tradition of Victorian language of flowers which assigns emotions and meanings to specific flowers. And in her debut nove,l The Language of Flowers, the meaning of a flower isn't exactly what you think it might be. For instance, a yellow rose could denote jealousy as opposed to adoration. Diffenbnaugh takes this flower language to weave a coming-of-age tale of a young woman named Victoria who grew up in and out of foster homes until she was 18 and ended up on the streets of San Francisco homeless. Somehow through her broken childhood she develops a love and talent for tending flowers. By accident she lands a job in a flower shop and we learn how she came to have this love of flowers through flashbacks on a critical time in her life when she did have the love of a mother. The Language of Flowers has been critically praised and has had a successful European tour. nbsp;Tune in to Dmae's interview with this intriguing new novelist. "The overriding emotional message of The Language of Flowers has to do with family." NY Times Review.

After studying creative writing and education at Stanford, she went on to teach art and writing to youth in low-income communities. She and her husband, PK, have three children: Trersquo;von, eighteen; Chela, four; and Miles, three. Trersquo;von, a former foster child, is attending New York University on a Gates Millennium Scholarship. Diffenbaugh and her family currently live in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where her husband is studying urban school reform at Harvard. Diffenbaugh is also the founder of the Camellia Network. The mission of the Camellia Network is to create a nationwide movement to support youth transitioning from foster care.

Managing Director Don Horn shows us around "The Sanctuary" and tells us how he produces a season of plays. Then we go to Cascade Locks, OR and talk with sculptor Heather Soderberg and find out how she creates large-sized statues. Finally Dmae has thoughts about the loss of summer. Don Horn has been producing plays for Triangle Productions for more than 20 years. The plays he chooses have often been shocking, risque, entertaining and englightening. The plays often appeal to gay and straight audiences alike. Dmae talked with Horn as he was getting ready to start a new season which includenbsp;Maybe Baby, It's You (read review), The Big Bang, The Irish Curse and the original play he's writing Gracie, about a famed Portlander Gracie Hansen who ran a burlesque show at the Hoyt Hotel in the 1970s.

Soderberg is known for her life-size sculptures. Her most well-known work is that of Sacagawea, the famed Native American heroine and guide to Lewis and Clark. Soderberg has been creating scuptures since she was two years old when her sculptor father gave her some soft wax. She immediately created a sculpture and became a child prodigy .

CleanRemembering Carolyn Holzman | On Friday, August 5, 2011, Portland lost one of its angels on earth.nbsp;Carolyn Holzman, a dear friend, an innovative theatre artist and a devoted teacher, passed away from a heart attack. In her work as a director and choreographer for Portland stages and as an adjunct Professor in the theatre arts department at Portland State University, Carolyn touched many lives and was a vibrant member of our artistic community. To say she will be missed is an understatement. There is a hole ripped through a universe where Carolyn connected disparate people through her art and teaching. I first met Carolyn at her production of "White Nights" at the former Dreams Well Studio, a versatile, one-room theatre space run by Susan Banyas that could seat 40 people on a good day. Carolyn had adapted the Dostoyevsky short story of the same title. It was a small production with a great deal of whimsical movement. I was to later learn that was her signature style, magical movement withnbsp;a sly smile. [caption id="attachment_821" align="alignright" width="240" caption="Carolyn Holzman Photos by Nisa Haron"][/caption] At one point the set pieces, houses constructed of a puffy quilt-like material, began to dance about the stage. I turned to the woman, a stranger, sitting next to me and whispered, ldquo;This is wonderfulhellip;rdquo; She just smiled back with a bit of a twinkle in her eyes and said quietly, ldquo;thank you.rdquo; After that we became friends. Later we worked on my collage play ldquo;Volcano Embracerdquo; that dealt with geology as a metaphor for violence. It was the most collaborative and cooperative experience Irsquo;ve had in theatre. That was another Carolyn Holzman trait. The six women in the play appeared onstage as well as working backstage. We took turns with light and sound cues and helped each other out when we were not onstage. We all got along and all our ideas blended into the play. Effortless and imaginative with no restrictions or boxes. That was Carolyn. All things were possible. She had an ease that inspired openness and an exchange of ideas. She would tell you what worked and what didnrsquo;t but her ability to accept the seemingly impossible kept the creativity coming. In her early years working with Robin Lane and Do Jump Theatre or more recently when she created movement for colleagues at PSU, Carolyn brought magic to nbsp;her collaborations. Whether it was a solo performance for Do Jump as a woman in a bathtub taking a shower or her choreography of island sprites creating a storm in Bill Tatersquo;s ldquo;The Tempestrdquo; or orchestrating a giant wooden plank seesaw to represent a large ship in Devon Allenrsquo;s ldquo;Ursula,rdquo; movement was never a separate vignette from the play. "Movement tells a story," Carolyn said of her choreography. In the same interview, Devon Allen told me that when Carolyn choreographed, movement became a spine of a play that ldquo;infuses the whole production.rdquo; Therersquo;s no understanding why this bright spirit was taken but she was.nbsp;I send my thoughts and prayers to her husband Chris and her family and friends. The memorial for Carolyn Holzman took place August 12 at Holmanrsquo;s Funeral Service in nbsp;Portland. nbsp;Her family shared intimate stories about her life and it was moving and inspiring.nbsp;You can send private condolences or write your memories in the guest book.. You can also write your thoughts and comments about Carolyn on this page... I'll share them with her family. I leave you with a clip of Carolynrsquo;s interview as she gently talks about her movement work on the play ldquo;Ursulardquo; with Devon Allen. I also leave you with a short movie I took at Carolynrsquo;s party in 2009. Ever the artist, she put together an interactive ldquo;experiencerdquo; which my husband Richard tried out. nbsp;She called it ldquo;Falling Backward Into Time.rdquo; If only we could, dear Carolynhellip; http://www.youtube.c... | 8/9/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanEugenia Woods’ Famished & Kip Fulbeck’s Hapa art | On Stage #38; Studio, Aug. 2nd at 11 am on KBOO 90.7fm, Dmae Roberts talks with Eugenia Woods about her documentary theatre piece about food called Famished. Then we hear from artist Kip Fulbeck. He's exploring mixed-race heritage with an exhibit titled Kip Fulbeck: Part Asian, 100% Hapa. What are you really hungry for? That's the question playwright Eugenia Woods asks in Famished, her interactive theatrical documentary.
