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)
OSF is not affiliated with any political party so all Republicans and Democrats and everyone to the right and left of them is welcome.
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
Shelley Campbell in Concert
The Performance Space is pleased to welcome Shelley Campbell for her debut concert performance. Join us for an evening of song and live music at its finest.
Shelley Campbell, an up and coming singer, will inspire and delight her audience in her debut concert as a solo artist Dec.2nd! Growing up in Albuquerque one of her musical experiences included singing back-up for “The Steve O’Neil Band” in the 80’s, which opened up for “The Motels”. Having then lived on Kauai until 2004, she appeared on “Hawaii Stars,” Hawaii’s version of American Idol, recorded a song for the soundtrack of the surf movie “Bali Hai” titled “The Last Illusion.” and won the talent portion of the “Miss Kauai” pageant with her rendition of the song “Dancing Bird” by Holly Near. Shelley’s lifelong passion for her singing career is to serve and connect with her audience in a more authentic, intimate, and meaningful way. One that will awaken, inspire and foster a sense of divinity & deeper connection to ourselves and each other. With the tenderness and yearning of her voice her deepest desire is to nourish the soul and enlighten the mind. The quality of her voice has been described as angelic, soulful, and heartwarming and has often moved people to tears. She will be accompanied by Michael Hall on piano, Darragh Nagle on guitar, and Christina Boiano & Diana James on vocals. Shelley is currently working on her first CD, due out in 2012.
Friday, December 2 at 6:30 pm. Tickets are $10.

Literary and Performing Arts come to La Tienda
As part of our ongoing efforts to support artists and promote a gathering rich with creative juices, we are beginning to incorporate the arts across multiple disciplines.
On November 15 at 10 am in The Performance Space, we welcome Santa Fe Improv at La Tienda. Santa Fe Improv is offering a free class for seniors (55 and above) who want to try their hand at this incredibly fun and creative expression. The free class will be followed by a regular class schedule.
On November 16 at 6:30pm in The Performance Space, join us for a reading by published poets and fiction writers. There is a suggested entrance fee of $2 (but if you can’t afford it, it’s ok).
On December 1 at 5:30 pm at Destiny Allison Fine Art, photographer and publisher Eric Swanson will present a free talk on creative economy and how artists can create an income stream in this challenging time.
Coming soon, La Tienda will launch it’s independent film series. Some good people have stepped forward to steer this initiative but could use some help. If you are interested in helping to support independent film makers and their films, call Destiny at (505) 428-0024.
La Tienda is committed to being more than a shopping center. It’s goals are to build community and to promote artists as well as the work they produce. Emerging artists and established artists need a place where they are valued as much as the work they do. Santa Fe is home to thousands of artists but there are few places where they can get together, learn from each other, and participate in an environment that is engaging, stimulating and diverse. La Tienda is that place!
