Residing at the dark end o f the street, H ouse o f Art recasts the
familiar sights and souncd o f home within the complex framework of
modem society. This daynamic dancetheater piece weaves dance?,
dialogue, and original music into a tapestry as dense as its themes:
homelessness, substance abuse, bi-cultural family issues, and do­
mestic violence.
The Interstate Firehouse Cultural Center (IFCC) presents Bobby
Fouther’s House o f Art, the creative culmination o f Bobby Fouther’s
tenure as 1999-2000 Artist-in-Residence. The choreographer/direc-
tor has spent the past year working with a tight-knit ensemble of
actors, dancer, and musicians in order to realize this no-holds-barred,
multi-disciplinary drama. The production runs October 13-15 at the
IFCC, located at 5340 N. Interstate Ave.
Brenda Phillips’ role as “mother of the House” represents the strength of
family which is at the heart of this unforgiving tale o f woe. The acclaimed
Equity actress, recently featured in Artists Repertory Theater's production of
A Raisin in the Sun, is joined by Jo,in Barry. Tami Castilly-Gray, Hakim
Muhammad,a nd Dominique Vazquez to complete the cast.
Tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for students/seniors. Call 503/
