Living Memory/Living Absence
October 20-22, 2005
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, 8pm
Admission $12; $10 students
Living Memory/Living Absence marks the return of Cambodian American
artist Anida Yoeu Esguerra to her birth country after 25 years of
absence. The multimedia work traces Esguerra’s poetic fears
of returning to a country she never knew. Esguerra performs poetry
with movement inspired by Butoh set against a video backdrop of
the sites and sounds of her memories of Cambodia. Presented as part
of the 10th Annual Chicago Asian American Jazz Festival, the evening
includes an opening musical performance by Amy Homma.
“Without a doubt, Anida Yoeu Esguerra has one of the sharpest
tongues in America. Her spoken word performances have been known
to make audiences cry, cheer and think – all in one breath”-

Erin Carlisle Norton premiers Two Stories, a highly physical movement
duet which questions and plays with the laws of architecture and
companionship. Using the paralyzed body as a landscape, Ashley Steimer
and Elizabeth Carlton collaborate on SpinousProcess, exploring the
connection between a woman’s spine and her physical strength,
emotional well-being, and sense of self. Stacy Thomas Wolfson presents
Give Me One More Day, using the interaction of video and movement
to highlight the everyday frustration, joy, monotony, and humor
which are inherent in one’s daily routine. Original works
are also featured by guest choreographers Megan Schneeberger and
