THE SANDRA WONG, DOMINICK LESLIE, TY BURHOE TRIO
The Sandra Wong, Dominick Leslie, Ty Burhoe Trio will appear in concert at The Performance Space on May 4th, 2012 at 7 PM.
Tickets are $15 and available at www.talarecords.com or at the door.
Sandra Wong, Dominick Leslie and Ty Burhoe come together in an unusual trio combination of nyckelharpa/fiddle, mandolin and tabla/world percussion to explore music from all corners of the globe, including their own compositions; from Bach to Shakti to Swedish Folk and Modern Bluegrass. Having made their trio concert debut at the Caramoor International Music Festival July of 2010, the project continues to gain both momentum and depth. Reaching into their individual roots of Classical Western, Classical Indian, Bluegrass, Jazz, Scandinavian, Old-time American music and more their arrangements honor each tradition while moving into new, unchartered territory.
Whether it’s old-time tunes in 7, Bach on nyckelharpa, mandolin and tabla, Swedish tunes from hundreds of years ago brought into a 21st century arrangement or Shakti revisited; Sandra, Dom, and Ty create a musical playground for everyone (both musicians and listeners) to explore, play, stretch, and grow in a joyful space.
Dominick Leslie and Sandra Wong released a collaborative album, Sunny Side Up in July of 2010 featuring guest artists Ty Burhoe, Grant Gordy, Eric Thorin, Jayme Stone and Ian Hutchison which is receiving excellent reviews from listeners. You can hear the trio in a live concert recording at www.FestivalLink.net. Sandra, Dom, and Ty all collaborate with numerous world class musicians and each tour nationally and internationally.
Giving back to our planet and supporting organizations working to create a more sustainable world for all beings; human and animal alike, and practicing responsible stewardship of our planet earth is a priority for the trio. A percentage of all ticket and CD sales go to support 1% for the planet and other organizations with this focus, all with top ratings from the Charity Navigator.
You are invited to join Sandra, Dom, and Ty for an evening of music at The Performance Space. For information, go to www.theperformancespace.com.
Special Appearance by Foster and Kimberly Gambel, Creators of the Movie “Thrive: What on Earth Will it Take?”
Screening of the movie, Thrive: What on earth will it take? The screening will be followed by a discussion with Foster and Kimberly Gamble.
The response to Kimberly and Foster Gambles appearance scheduled for Thursday April 19th, has been so amazing that we asked the Gambles if they would be willing to stay for another night.
They agreed to join us for a One Night Hold-Over Event on Friday April 20th, from 6-9 PM
The Friday night program will be different. It includes a showing of the Thrive film followed by Question and Answer moderated by the Gambles.
Here is your chance to see the film if you have not seen it yet or to see it again. (We’ve seen it many times and still enjoy it)
How great to see the film and then speak with the producers while questions are fresh on your mind.
Admission is by donation. All proceeds will go to the development of future energy projects through the Thrive movement. Payment will be check or cash only. Because seating is limited, please arrive early.
Screening of Shakespeare Behind Bars
Reel New Mexico, a monthly series showcasing independent films with a New Mexico connection, presents the award-winning documentary feature “Shakespeare Behind Bars” on Thursday, April 12, at 7 p.m. at The Performance Space. Suggested Entrance Fee: $5
The film, produced by Jillian Spitzmiller and written and directed by Hank Rogerson, both Santa Fe residents, is a documentary feature that follows a year-long rehearsal and presentation of Shakespeare’s “The Tempest” by inmates of a Kentucky prison.
| Shakespeare Behind Bars Trailer |
Hailed as “tremendously moving,” the film tells an extraordinary story about the creative process and the power of art to heal. It was a Sundance official selection and has won awards, including “Best in Show” and “Best Documentary” in ten additional festivals. “By the end of this film, you couldn’t imagine Shakespeare performed anywhere else,” wrote the TV Guide reviewer.
As an important part of the Reel New Mexico Independent Film Series, filmmakers representing films shown will discuss and answer questions about their work following the screenings. Jillian Spitzmiller and/or Hank Rogerson will be on hand to discuss the making of “Shakespeare Behind Bars.” The two founded Philomath Films in 1992 and have been working together ever since.

February 29 at 7 PM
Information: 505-428-0024 or 505-629-6418
Sarah Berges Dance will join selected Santa Fe dancers to perform a new work choreographed by Sarah Berges entitled “Repeating the Past.” In response to the magnificent new sculpture by Dee Homans, on display in The Exhibit Space at La TIenda (2/18-3/11), the dance reflects the aggressive power of the sculpture in contrast to its undulating, lyric subtext. Ancient memories of the Medea story rise and fall in the dance, a touchstone for reflecting on modern day acts of vengeance and of violence used against innocents. SARAH BERGES DANCE will also perform “Vignettes” – small dances at odd times – in The Exhibit Space at La Tienda. These 4 minute dances will be performed once a day, Wednesday 2/22 through Saturday 2/25 (call 310-403-9983 for precise times.) Admission to the “Vignettes” is free of charge.
Based in Oakland California, Sarah Berges has been producing dance since 1984. During the 15 years she spent in Los Angeles (1996-2011) Ms. Berges founded a modern dance company and a ballet company. Her companies have performed in Mexico, Costa Rica, San Francisco, the Los Angeles area and New York City.
Recipient of grants from Culver City, SONY Pictures, the Puffin Foundation and Squid & Squash Foundation, Ms. Berges has used grant money to produce dance in public, outdoor spaces. Her “Adventure In Wonderland” attracted large audiences at Culver City Park and charmed students at Los Angeles middle schools.
Sarah Berges’ choreography springs from her childhood training in improvisation and choreography. Ms. Berges’ lifetime in dance – performing, teaching, and exploring movement – culminates in a choreographic style that is classically patterned yet full of twists and turns. Always intent on telling a story, her dances are informed by a graphic sensibility bolstered by raw emotion.
