If
you're intrigued, but clueless, about ancient Hinduism,
then Bharathanatyam is for you. This Saturday
at Tamarack Wellness Center, Bharathanatyam dancers
from the Natya Leela Academy in Portland will
dance about Ganesh (that elephant-headed God
who removes obstacles), Shiva (god of creation, destruction
and dance), Sarasvati (goddess of knowledge) and Durga
(goddess of empowerment, nurturing and compassion).
In the dance, titled "Dhyana: From Maya to Moksha,"
you'll see intricate floor patterns, complexly angular
hand gestures, or mudra, and disciplined, sharp
eye-movements. "Our desire is to make Bharathanatyam
accessible to everyone, regardless of age or cultural
background," says Subashini Ganesan, prinicipal choreographer
and teacher of Natya Leela Academy. "We have carefully
selected music, themes and dances that explore universal
themes while representing the spiritual richness and
aerobic rigor of this traditional dance form." Visit
Sometimes
we tire of the singer-songwriters, the husband-wife
duos, the three-brothers trios. Sometimes what
we like is a big, fat ensemble group. Many instruments,
no lead singers, a sense of camaraderie and synergy.
Three such acts grace Eugene's stages in various
vaudeville incarnations this week, each from a
different corner of the nation. Starting this
Saturday, there's the 12-member Seattle carnie
band Circus Contraption at the WOW Hall
(see story in this issue). Then next Thursday
the WOW Hall will host the Texas (by way of Austin,
it's important to note) old-time string band Asylum
Street Spankers (pictured), known for their
blend of unorthodox choice of instruments (check
out band member Wammo's full-body-armor one-piece
percussion instrument for proof). Next Friday,
March 28, check out the unusual pairing of the
Indigo District and klezmer music when East European-via-NYC
folk-punk sextet Golem brew up a high-energy
mix of brass, strings, accordions and vocals yelped
in the Yiddish, Ladino, English or Slavic languages.
Now we just need a hip hop ensemble crew to play
Eugene, like, say … Wu-Tang Clan. See Calendar.
The
Wiggles are the biggest thing
to hit America! These Aussie actor-musicians
will knock you for a loop! On tour,
they split up into two separate
buses, so if there's a horrific
accident, children the world over
will never be without at least half
of their Wiggles! Looking and acting
like Captain Kirk's crazy nephews
has never been so amazingly profitable:
We're talking millions! Their stage
show, "Pop Go The Wiggles!"
promises a Barney & Friends-style
romp through a children's fantasyland
inhabited by Dorothy the Dinosaur,
Henry the Octopus, Wags the Dog
and all the Wiggly Dancers (sounds
naughty, but it ain't, mate!). See
Sunday Calendar.
