Particularly noteworthy is the “New Women in Butoh” performance schedule July 8-9, which includes butoh theater by Desierto herself, Seattle’s Sheri Brown and New York artist Vangeline, who’s cur rently working on a film with James Franco and Winona Ryder that fea tures Vangeline’s dancing. The craft of butoh dance is defined, even by its purveyors, as indefin able—a fluid range of motions are improvised by a sense of internal trig gers. According to her bio, Desierto’s own style broaches themes of personal truth and transformation through dance by “focusing on the integration of the dancer’s energetic, kinesthetic and emotional states through move ment.” Desierto notes the dance’s foundations as being highly linked to societal oppression of homosexuality. “Butoh, from its very origins, was a transgender expression,” explains Desierto, whose name translates to “desert water,” and whose Water in the Desert nonprofit artistic collective is presenting the 1 Festival. “The dance has been and continues to be something which ferociously explores the masculine, feminine, hermaphrodite and everything in between.” The 1 Festival’s multi-day lineup is rounded out by Sean Bowie’s petulant production Drunken Fucker , Hand2Mouth ensemble member Erin Lcddy’s performance of M y M ind is Like an Open M eadow , and much more. m First Annual 1 Festival, Thurs., July 8-Sun., Ju ly 17, perform ance times vary; Headwaters Iheatre, 55 NE Farragut St. ff9; $75 fo r fu ll pass, $15 indi vidual tickets, $10 artists, students, seniors; 503-289-3499, thelfestival.com . — R yan J.
