A B O U T T H E P E R F O R M E R S
Shira Kammen has spent most of her life exploring the worlds of early, traditional, and countless other styles of music. A member for many years of Ensembles Alcatraz, Project Ars Nova, and Medieval Strings, she has also worked with Sequentia, Hesperion XX, the Boston Camerata, the Folger and Newberry Consorts, The King’s Noyse, Piffaro, Tapestry, Anonymous IV, the California Revels, the California, SF and Oregon Shakespeare Companies, the Balkan group Kitka, and is the founder of Class V Music, dedicated to performing on river rafting trips. She is particularly interested in collaborations with dancers, circus artists, poets, visual artists, naturalists, actors, storytellers - anything outside of a standard concert venue!
Mark Kenward is the creator of seven full-length solo shows. He has performed his work in over 35 cities throughout the US and Canada, including a reception for The House of Representatives in Washington, DC, and several runs at The Marsh. Tonight he performs an excerpt from Nantucket (directed by TIOT's very own Rebecca Fisher), a memoir about his years growing up on the fabled island. He is looking forward to his upcoming North American tour of Nantucket with stops in Berkeley, Clayton, Ottawa, Toronto, and Edmonton. markkenward.com
Bárbara Selfridge did have that whole writer life, complete with an NEA grant, a published story collection: Serious Kissing, and odd jobs like personal assistant to Grace Paley and Alice Walker. I have a sister with brain damage who sings back-up with a rock band, and she inspired me to work with Theatre Unlimited, a troupe of mostly developmentally-disabled actors and playwrights, and then I worked with David Ford at the Marsh to write a solo performance about how she and I coped with our parents' decline: "Zero Tolerance: Sex, Math and Seizures." I took that show to a bunch of Fringe Festivals, and now I expect to do the same with the full-length version of "Stalking Grace."
For the last 40 years, Jeff Raz has performed nationally and internationally with circuses and theaters including Cirque du Soleil, The Pickle Family Circus, California Revels and Lincoln Center Theater. He has written 15 plays and directed many more. He is the founder of The Clown Conservatory with students currently performing in circuses and theaters around the world. Jeff continues to work in theaters and circuses and is the Artistic Director of the Medical Clown Project in San Francisco.
