Post Natyam Collective - December 2006 Newsletter
Dear Friends,
December is an exciting end to all of our work this year. Sandra, Sangita
and Shyamala will perform our collaboratively created show "Meet the
Goddess" in Chennai at The Other Festival! Then, Sandra and Shyamala will
perform a duet version of it in Bangalore for Nitarutya's "Adhyaya," while
Sangita premieres her documentary "Dancing Kathmandu" in Nepal at the
Kathmandu International Mountain Film Festival! Details for all these
activities are listed below under Post Natyam Performances.
Making "Meet the Goddess" has been an amazing collaborative process with
choreography from all four of us (even though it is currently performed by
three and sometimes by two). We are so grateful for the many creative
additions to the show from a variety of sources:
Thanks to animation artist Adnan Hussain
(www.3dluvr.com/madguru<http://www.3dluv.com/madguru>)
and an ARC grant from the Durfee Foundation ( www.durfee.org) which Shyamala
received for the addition of video into the section of the show that is
choreographed by her.
The incredible array of music is thanks to the following
musicians/composers:
Gurpreet Chana ( www.thetablaguy.com ) and Jugular (www.jugularmusic.com)
David Karagianis ( www.sounddance.net <http://www.souddance.net/>)
Oliver Rajamani ( www.oliverrajamani.com)
Kelly Salloum (www.kellysalloum.com )
And we had gorgeous photographs of the show taken by Lilian Wu and Andre
Menezes.
Thinking back on the year, we are fortunate to be able to remember so many
incredible opportunities, mentors, audiences, and collaborations. Thank you
to everyone who has supported our work this year (you know who you are)!
Wishing for a peaceful New Year,
Post Natyam
Sangita, Shyamala, Sandra and Anjali (and baby Neva)

"Meet the Goddess"
Created and performed by the Post Natyam Collective
presented as part of The Other Festival
The Museum Theater

In Meet the Goddess the ideals of femininity—mother, consort, and
warrior- crumble
and real women emerge from their ashes. It investigates the multifaceted
relationship real women have to the imagery of the goddess as both an
impossible ideal, and also a vision of strength and female empowerment.

"Dancing Kathmandu" follows Sangita's exploration of how practitioners in
the Himalayan Kingdom negotiate Nepal's dance traditions in a period of
rapid cultural change. In her attempts to map the current situation of dance
in Kathmandu valley, she encounters her own teachers as well as younger
dancers currently finding their way. Dancing Kathmandu tells stories of
nostalgia, passion and survival through dance and dancers in the age of
globalization.

Nayar (SAWCC's Visual Arts Committee 2006)
We live in increasingly violent times. Heralded by globalization, such
aggression inextricably marks the urban landscape. Altered states of
cartographic realities overlap onto a specifically conservative agenda,
expressing itself onto women's lives, bodies, and experiences. These
landscapes also house, as a result of the recent wars, a resurgence of
religious fundamentalism, and mass movements of individuals through exile
and migration, which has led to a new kind of politics of violence.
The nine artists in the exhibition, Meherunnisa Asad, Vandana Sood, Carol
Pereira, Kiran Chandra, Bindu Mehra, Maryum Saifee, Seher Shah, Mona Kamal,
Salma Arastu, negotiate spaces of conflict, violence, issues of identity,
commodification, claustrophobia, and the politics of the body within their
work. Using several mediums including photography, video, installations and
animation, these women continue to resist and reshape the world on their own
terms within their individual idioms while still maintaining the fragility
of their bodies juxtaposed to the beautifully harsh urban realities.
This exhibition alludes to Walter Benjamin's concept of "State of
Emergency," which can be interpreted in two ways: through the eyes of the
oppressor who uses this position as a way to maintain his oppression, or
what Benjamin considers as the "real state of emergency," a struggle by the
oppressed to resist the oppressor. By evoking the latter, the exhibition
"State of Emergency" explores the manner in which South Asian women navigate
their lives through the urban spaces and difficult social terrains.

Saturday December 2nd, 6pm

Tickets: $10 (will be available shortly on our website & on the day-of)
~~~
Dear Friends & Allies,
'Yoni Ki Baat', which translates into 'Talks of the Vagina', is back for its
4th phenomenal year!
Although an original production of The South Asian Sisters, 'YKB' has been
inspired by Eve Ensler's 'Vagina Monologues' - we took the underlying
messages of that show: women's rights, female sexuality, voicing the taboo
in a quest to end domestic violence, and made it personal to our South Asian
community.
Part of our proceeds will go to benefit a local non-profit: Narika, a
helpline for abused South Asian women. For more information, visit:
www.narika.org.
Help us get the word out by passing this message along to all supportive
family members, friends, & acquaintances.
For tickets and more information about our organization, please stay tuned &
we'll update you all shortly.
The after-party will be held on the same day at Bliss Bar in Noe Valley:
www.blissbarsf.com starting 9:30pm onwards.
Please join us as we continue our journey in strengthening our community
through dialogue & art ~ we look forward to seeing you there!
In Peace & Solidarity,
The South Asian Sisters

Interdisciplinary Performance: Still Life with Commentator
Composer/pianist Vijay Iyer, theater director Ibrahim Quraishi, and
poet/hip-hop artist Mike Ladd join forces to comment on America's media
obsession

Harvey Theater (651 Fulton St.), on Dec 6–9 at 7:30pm and Dec. 10 at 3pm.
Tickets—priced at $20, 35, 45—can be purchased online or by calling BAM
Ticket Services at 718.636.4100.
BAM Harvey Theater
615 Fulton Street
Brooklyn, NY 11201
US
BAM 2006 Next Wave Festival presents Still Life with Commentator, a new
interdisciplinary work featuring an electro-acoustic score by
pianist/composer Vijay Iyer, lyrics by poet/performer Mike Ladd, and a
theatrical environment by conceptual artist/theater director Ibrahim
Quraishi. An evening of propulsive music, sung & spoken texts, digital
interactivity, and movement performed by an eight-member ensemble of
musicians and actors—including award-winning experimental vocalist Pamela Z,
musical polymath Guillermo E. Brown, guitarist Liberty Ellman, and cellist
Okkyung Lee — Still Life with Commentator is a darkly lyrical and sometimes
comic portrayal of our media-filtered encounters with war and atrocity.
About the work: As in the classical oratorio, in which a familiar religious
narrative becomes the substance of an episodic musical work, Still Life with
Commentator is suffused with the weight of a new kind of religion—namely,
our addiction to the opiate of personal testimony: live newscasts, blogs,
reality TV. Still Life addresses our participatory role as spectators with a
perpetual hunger for the unspeakable and the tragic, and our continual
passivity in the face of televised authority. Ladd's poems decode and
condense our post-9/11 culture of surveillance and spin, forming an ironic
counterpoint with Iyer's elegiac, cycling rhythms. With songs such as "Jon
Stewart on Crossfire" and "Blog Mom's Anthem" performed against Quraishi's
stark tableaus and a video backdrop of highly magnified television clips and
images, the result is a living portrait of our televised moment.
Ladd and Iyer received critical acclaim for the work In What Language? A
Song Cycle of Lives in Transit, a live multimedia project that premiered in
2003 at the Asia Society and was released as an album in 2004. The Boston
Globe called the work "a triumph of a genre that doesn't yet exist" and "a
model of what makes good art connect: It is aggressively ambitious yet
unfailingly accessible and deeply emphatic." Rolling Stone said of the disc
"A song cycle of powerful narrative invention and ravishing trance-jazz, In
What Language? is about nothing less than the death of trust…It is also an
eloquent tribute to the stubborn, regenerative powers of the human spirit."
The album version of Still Life with Commentator will be released this
winter on Savoy/WEA.

2. New York City, US: Call for play Submissions, RECEIVE deadline: 15
December 2006
NOW SEEKING PLAY SUBMISSIONS: SEVEN.11 YEAR FIVE!
Now entering its FIFTH anniversary year, Seven.11 Convenience Theatre is now
open for submissions!
Come and be a part of the wildly popular, downtown NYC series, which takes
seven, 11-minute plays, all set in a convenience store, and weaves them
together to present an evening of entertaining quickies for all to enjoy.
Last year 3 of the Seven.11 plays were nominated for the NYIT Awards for
Best Short Play -- one where a young man tries to learn Kung Fu from a book
to impress a girl, and another where a day in the life in Queens shows more
color than in your everyday convenience store.
All scripts must be 11 pages or less, in proper play format, with a
max of three actors (role-doubling, however, is permitted) and set ina
convenience store. No other requirements than to write something that
challenges, defies, or just tells a darn good story. Each play should be
able to stand alone; many of the plays from our previous seven.11's have had
independent productions around the country. Some of the popular series
stories included two runaways in search of road snacks, a futuristic race to
claim the jewel of Ancient American bodegas, and an original pop musical
that left us wondering 'Who killed Mr. Naidu first?".
Selected plays receive a full production in downtown NYC's theatre
scene, scheduled for April 2007, and a modest, honorary stipend. Plus, an
opportunity to participate in a team workshopping process, from start to
final product! For further details on last year's production, visit:
www.desipina.org.
Don't wait, send your play now!
Deadline: December 15, 2006 (must be received by, not postmarked!) Email
submissions to: convenie...@desipina.org
Or mail your play to:
Desipina & Co
