Update. June 8, 2007.
peace everyone.
i know it’s been a longtime since i’ve sent out info about my performances but i am still here and still doing what i do best --- sounding my barbaric yawp!!! there have been lots of life happenings on my end and i’m looking forward to finding some chill out moments on a beach somewhere tropical! it’s been a rough start to my 2007 year but I’m still vigilant and trying to understand the lessons.
so what have I learned as 2007 continues to kick my ass…hmmm:
- watching someone you love take her last breath is an amazing honor
- loss never leaves your body
- i am comfortable changing names, often.
- love – wtf!!!!!
- if they don’t see you cry, will they believe that you can hurt too?
- shi-shi artsy fartsy schools do not believe in rewarding community artists with scholarships!
- god – wtf!!!!!
and those are the lessons only half way through the year. i have some exciting new projects and upcoming performances to share with all y’all.
i am thrilled to announce a 2 night/ 3 show run of “Living Memory/Living Absence” in New York City on June 16 & 17. i am honored to be part of the first ever history-making National Asian American Theater Festival! my show “Living Memory/Living Absence” shares the bill with another amazing show called “Guns & Tampons: A History of Violence Against Women I Know” by the talented Hanalei Ramos. and if you’re in NYC —check out the festival’s lineup which includes work from my peers and mentors including: Marian Yalini Thambynayagam, Robert Karimi, Denise Uyehara, Jude Narita , Ill-literacy, Kristina Wong, D’Lo, Regie Cabico, Makoto Hirano.
in August, i will be back in Mexico for a week long Butoh Ritual Mexicano intensive training with Diego Piñon. I will unfortunately miss the 4th Annual National APIA Spoken Word & Poetry Summit held in NYC! later that month, in chicago i will be experimenting with food and performance art as part of a group collaborating with chefs from Moto Restaurant to honor the Futurists of the 1930s.
and on November 13th, i will debut a new collaboration titled “Here Lies Truth” for Site Unseen 2007 at the Chicago Cultural Center. think war, butoh, beats, and Victorian camouflage.
in December, i will return to my beloved Cambodia to frolick with monks and family.
oh yeah – and someone in there i will be attending the school of the art institute’s performance MFA program.
and btw, i’ve changed my last name to honor the recent passing of my grandmother. while most of you knew me as Anida Yoeu Esguerra please note i am now using the name Anida Yoeu Ali.
peace & justice,
anida yoeu ali
