SUMMARY:"Chewed Bread" a New Play by Nisa Ari and Paz Pardo
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Event Name: "Chewed Bread" a New Play by Nisa Ari and Paz Pardo=0D=0AEvent Url: http://www.peakradar.com/event/detail/441266455=0D=0AEvent Date Begin: 2011-06-09=0D=0AEvent Date End: 2011-06-12=0D=0A=0D=0AThe Manitou Art Theatre presents a new play “Chewed Bread” written and performed by Nisa Ari and Paz Pardo, directed by Birgitta De Pree and Jim Jackson.   =0D=0A=Does reality create our beliefs or do our beliefs create our reality? Looking beyond scientific understanding of the placebo effect, the play Chewed Bread imagines a world in which our reactions to life spring from a belief (or lack thereof) in placebos. Loosey and Box are sisters, daughters of a Turkish immigrant who fed them a worldview of equal parts old world mysticism and modern empiricism (alongside their breakfasts of apple-feta sandwiches.) In the aftermath of their father's death, the sisters try to sort out their differences and what they mean about the man who shaped them. Told through a fragmented account of science, belief, and sibling rivalry, the play invokes the tricks of the brain as the two sisters try to piece together an adult relationship. Through song, dance, and excel spreadsheets, Chewed Bread explores that niggling suspicion that each of us is really the family misfit.=0D=0A==0D=0A=Performer/Creators Nisa Ari and Paz Pardo began working together while at Stanford University in 2004. They grew up in eerily similar bi-cultural households, with one sister apiece, which has more than likely contributed to their mutual fondness for identity crises and men with accents. Trained in classical theater, Shakespeare, musical theater, clowning, and improvisation, they are committed to physicalized activations of poetic language and cultural memory. Both currently live in New York City, where this piece was created. Ari is the Associate Director of the Studio Program at the Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts as well as a frequent musical theater, jazz, and theater performer both in NYC and Colorado. Pardo is the Resident Dramaturg with the TEAM (Theatre of the Emerging American Moment) in NYC, and has performed in New York, London, and San Francisco.=0D=0A=0D=0AStart time:Thursday at 7 p.m.=0D=0A=Friday at 8 p.m.=0D=0A=Saturday at 8 p.m.=0D=0A=Sunday at 7 p.m.
