Disability no handicap
with Access Theatre
"Disability is not a brave strug
gle. or courage in the face of
adversity. It's an art — an inge
nious way to live." playwright
Neil Marcus said
Marcus. 33. describes himself
as "a fantastic spastic mime cre
atively endowed with disability
‘‘Storm Reading" is his theatrical
celebration of his unique life His
"storm" is a rare and incurable
neurological disorder called dys
lonic musculorum deformans
The play is touring with Access
Theatre, a Santa Barbara. Cal ,
theater company that spe< lali/.es
in integrating disabled and able
bodied actors. It is the only totally
accessible professional theater
organization in the nation
Marcus' association with
Access Theatre started three years
ago when director Rod Lathim
read his work and heard a tape of
him reading
"The people in the reading
i amn to life." Lathim said "It was
the first positive material I had
received All the manuscripts
coming to us dealt with handi
caps in negative, bitter ways, and
I wanted something that celebrat
ed life “ while society stereotypes
Marcus as being limited in all
aspects of he said, "Neil is
one of the most unlimited, unre
stricted. creative people I have
ever met "
In the play Marcus is onstage in
his wheelchair and portrays him
self through a series of vignettes
based on real-life incidents.
Matthew lngersnll gives his voice
to Marcus' script and Kathryn
Voice translates in American sign
language while they act the parts
of 50 characters
Their characters show the range
of reactions Marcus encounters,
from compassion and friendliness
to insensitivities rooted in fear
They include a curious child and
his nervous mother, a Burger King
employee trying to understand
Marcus' drive-up order and an
artist enraptured with the raw
power of Marcus' movements
They come and go in the
vignettes with a changing back
ground of color slides on a stage
set with abstract sculptures. The
scenes are accompanied by an
original musical score.
Marcus describes "Storm
Reading" as "bits and pieces of
one man's life, with observations.

Elizabeth Ramirez, a specialist In dramaturgy,
it a nine theater arts faculty member
Dramaturgy revivalmth Ramirez
By Ming Rodrigues
Emerald Contributor
Think of theater and the hard work of direc
tors, actors and set designers in creating a qual
ity production come to mind. Little thought,
however, is granted to the dramaturg. In fact,
little, if anything, is known about this cohesive
force behind the scenes.
The University's theater arts department
didn’t either until Elizabeth Ramirez arrived.
With a background in theater history and criti
cism, Ramirez said that until recently even
defining the term was next to impossible, lot
alone understanding the role of the dramaturg.
Today, Ramirez said, "Every director that I
have ever worked with that had never worked
with a dramaturg in the past now can't imagine
working without one ”
Helping the director understand the social
and historical'context of the play is the dra
maturge priority. With a new play, Ramirez's
responsibility is to ensure that the production
stays on the right track. It is an objective role.
"The dramaturg sits back and sees the total pic
tur<\" Ramirez said. When a director gets too
involved in the process and intentions of the
play, it’s easy to lose some focus This is when
a dramaturg steps in with critical objectivity.
"Someone has to ensure that the director and
the playwright work together. The dramaturg is
someone who helps the director accomplish
what needs to be done as well as helps the
playwright recognize flaws in the structure,”
she said.
This broad vision also extends to the audi
ence Through program notes and an outreach
project, currently in the works, to familiarize
people with theater, Ramirez believes in edu
cating the audience. "We don't just tell the
audience what the play is about, but more
important, we tell them why they see what they

A beat for the feet
By Frey a Horn
Entertainment Editor
Eugene in in for a
heatwave tonight
with the Irene
Farrera Tropical
Band.
Band founder
Irene Farrera was
born in rural
Venezuela and
learned to play the
guitar at age nine
Farrera laughed
when she spoke of
her young infatua
tion with the guitar
"When I walked
down the road, peo
ple who knew me
would ask. 'How is
your guitar today?'
instead of How are
you?’ because !
always carried it
with me, she sail)
Currently residing in
Southern Oregon. Farrera con
tinues her devotion to music in
the vibrant Latin American tr.i
dition that she grew up with
Her endeavors will soon culmi
nate in a commercial break
through with the December
release of her band's new
recording, "Walking in the
lunglo."
Farrera composed the music
and lyrics for all eight of the
songs, which come to life with
her deep, soft voice Her vocals
and acoustic guitar are accom
panied by the other four highly
skilled musicians of the dynam
ic Tropical Band.
Mike Fitch of Ashland, Ore ,
creates rhythmic, hypnotizing
drum beats that blend with the
intense, grounding bass of A!
Criado, who comes from Cuba
and was formerly of the Dave
Valentin Croup Multi-instru
mentalist Sean McCoy, son of
the renowned jazz pianist Fat
Moran McCoy, alternates
between the keyboard, trumpet,
fl uege I horn and EVI
Percussionist Theresa knight
comes most recently from Los
Angeles, where she worked a
number of film scores.
"Music has a way of going
right into the hearts of people,"
Ferrara said "It breaks down
our differences and helps us
Phai
Iron0 Fnrrero perform* In the EMU tonight
overcome an muse carriers kv
put on ourselves "
Symbolic of tins philosophy
is Farrera's ability to sing in
English, Spanish ami Brazilian
Portugese. She said her choice
of language depends on which
one flows most naturally with
the melody, giving her songs
fluidity and diversity
"Our music transcends geo
graphical borders," she said,
"and our message is one of
unity and understanding among
all the peoples and races of the
world."
In delivering this message,
Ferrara's songs convey univer
sal themes. For example, "The
Same Sea" is a subtle yet pow
erful song against racism With
it she uses the analogy of "the
same sea. the same sun" to
show how we are all "the same
people" liecause we are unified
by our relation to the Earth, she
said.
The Irene (pronounced Ee
reh-neh) Earrera Tropical Band
has played at the Eugene
Celebration for three years in a
row and was the Saturday night
headliner at the 1992
Willamette Valley Folk Festival
Tonight they play at the EMU
Beer Carden beginning at 5
Doors open at 4 p m. and there
will he a Si cover They will
also perform later in the
evening at John Henry's.
