Richard Foreman Mini-Festival Times Six

10 days, a chunk of text from the online notebooks of avant-garde writer/director Richard Foreman, and 15 teams of Portland performers, dancers, actors, musicians, writers, and filmmakers are the ingredients of the Sixth Annual Richard Foreman Mini-Festival, a benefit for Performanceworks Northwest (4625 SE 67th). The teams have a little over a week to take pieces of Foreman’s notoriously abstract, confounding, approaching-narrative text (often mini-conversations or declarations) and make a short piece out of it. See the results this Friday and Saturday nights, August 15 and 16 at 8:30 PM. Tickets $15 and up, sliding scale.
