Women have ac cess to power that until re cently belonged only to men, but is that enough? Even now, thelives o f men serve as the standard, or “glass ceiling,” that women come up against when determining how rich, diverse and satisfying their lives can be. According to Marilyn Graman and Maureen Walsh, authors o f “The Fe male Power Within,” women need to shift their focus to their own female power. This how-to manual helps women redis cover the perceptions, patterns, pleasures, and power o f being female. The Reality of Campaigning T a i k K i n e s i s ! Twirling drummers and leaping dancers are all powered by the driving beat of the taiko - a huge drum that's up to 6 feet in size. The show, TaikoKinesis! refers to the movement o f the performers to move the audience through rhythm, melody and drama. This fall concert will take place on Sept. 6 and 7, 8 p.m. at the Newmark Theatre. Call Fastixx at 503-224-8499. Disney’ 5 Fillmore!
