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.
FREE SCREENING OF “THRIVE — WHAT ON EARTH WILL IT TAKE”
If you stayed home because of the storm, just couldn’t make it, or there simply were no seats left – this second showing is for you!
In spite of the snowstorm and icy roads the December showing had a full house.
Join Karen “Tallkat” Conley on Saturday January 7, 2011 at 1:00 PM for a really cool combination event at no charge at The Performance Space at La Tienda:
1) See Thrive: What on Earth Will it Take? The movie produced by Foster Gamble. Enjoy a creative group discussion on the Thrive subject matter following the film.
2) After the discussion, Occupy Santa Fe will present “We Are The 99%.
ARE YOU IN THE 99%
(This event will begin at approximately 4 pm for those who are not attending the film)
If you make less than 2.5 million a year you probably are in the 99%
Members of Occupy Santa Fe who live in Eldorado will be having an informational meeting at La Tienda on Saturday January 7th at 4 pm. (You could drop by after the free screening of THRIVE in the Performance Space)

The top one percent of Americans controls 42% of the wealth in our country and the gap between rich and poor is the largest in history. What has happened to the Middle Class? Two women who will speak have homes now in the foreclosure process here in Eldorado The Occupy Santa Fe movement has been “The Movement different”: no violence … no rioting … great cooperation with the Police and mayor’s office. There are many plans for Occupy 2012 and, there are other people and other movements which are beginning to address the issues of greed, corruption and wealth buying the justice and political systems. You will be able to ask questions, offer comments (good or bad) and find out some way to stand-up for your beliefs. For information contact cscot@comcast.net

Dixon Apple Orchard Benefit
As you may be aware, on the morning of June 27, 2011, Dixon’s Apple Orchard, exclusive growers of the Champagne Apple, and a beloved New Mexico tradition since 1944, was devastated by the Los Conchas Wildfire. The family home, storage facilities and essential equipment were destroyed.
A about a month ago we recieved a call from someone that wanted to help, to do something to help this family. That call started what seems like another wild fire. Individuals, community groups and businesses are coming together to create a fundraising benefit to help a really wonderful family.

Chuck Pyle in Concert
The Eldorado House Concert Series and Santa Fe Performance Exchange present Chuck Pyle, the Zen Cowboy.
Saturday, February 5, at 7 p.m. Doors open at 6:30 at Santa Fe Performance Exchange in the La Tienda shopping center in Eldorado.
Cost: $15 advance/$17 at door. Click here for tickets.
Chuck Pyle has won high praise from both fans and peers alike throughout an inspired performance career of over 40 years. When reviewers first gave him the “Zen Cowboy” moniker, he decided to, as he says, “Always ride the horse in the direction it’s going,” and took the nickname to heart, shaving his head and blending his upbeat perspective with old-fashioned horse sense. He mixes infectiously hummable melodies with straight-from-the-saddle poetry, quoting bumper stickers, proverbs, world leaders and old cowboys.
An accomplished songwriter, Chuck’s songs have been recorded by John Denver, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and Suzy Bogguss. Country fans know him best for writing, “Cadillac Cowboy”, recorded by the late Chris LeDoux, and “Jaded Lover”, recorded by Jerry Jeff Walker.
