"A must see." - Seattle Times
never enough, always enough Mar 31, 2012
by Kristianne
Only hours before taking my seat at On the Boards, I'd learned that a person very dear to me had died. Everything I did and saw after was touched by this news. To combine the angry agitation and the broken tenderness we feel in grief is a paradox. To live in fear of death is a paradox.
"See. This. Show. (A review of Mark Haim's x2)" Mar 30, 2012

By Elana Jacobs
A great first date, during which conversation flows naturally without a worry.
A host who thoughtfully provides enough for his dinner guests to enjoy without micromanaging.
A walk home when you never question how much longer do we have?
Getting into a bath thats neither too hot nor too cool for that first entry step.

One of my best friends since college has been visiting me. He was a double-degree Music Composition and Philosophy major and is currently learning to play the cello. For the past few days, we've been talking a lot about Bach.

and then....Unplug! Mar 16, 2012
by Vanessa
Clytemnestra, the hyperventilating version by Michelle Ellsworth, has spent the last 45 minutes trapped in the information age, surrounded, saturated, over-stimulated, and then….unplug.
Fries With That Shake! Mar 16, 2012
by Eric P
The story, as they say, had already been written. The predictable unraveling, eventual demise and subsequent iconic theme: Philandering husband gets away with murder. Noble, neglected wife looses it and everything falls apart. So obvious is the outcome, so ingrained is the pattern that you can see it from far away...it has it's own shape, it's own recognizable shade of black.

What Just Happened?!?! The Transformative Power of Michelle Ellsworth Mar 16, 2012
by Katie W
Last week, my boyfriend decided that we should take a break. He did so without establishing any parameters for said break. He is apt, as most men are, to go to his metaphoric cave and stoically assess his problems. Women, on the other hand, are often impetuous information-gatherers in times of stress.

Make Believe Speaks for Itself Actually, It Enunciates Mar 2, 2012
by Adam
The Portland dance ensembler tEEth's Make Believe is that rare performance that speaks for itself (actually, it enunciates), and should be experienced rather than read about.That being said, I've been asked to write about it, so I'll be brief.

fEEding the Feedback Mar 2, 2012
by Leah
The conceptual line between audience and performers dissolves for me at the beginning of tEEth’s Make/Believe, the moment the performers crawl towards the audience through the thin line of light bisecting them like a CAT scan. Throughout the piece, the performers humble themselves in a way that makes my mind osmosize into the stage-space and forget that I’m “watching a performa
