Puppeteers wanted for Cal Poly production

Puppeteers are needed for a unique joint venture of the Cal Poly Theatre and the Center for Puppetry Arts of Atlanta, Ga.

Auditions will be held today and Friday, April 2-3, from 7 to 11 pm in Davidson Music Building 212 for "The Stone Circle," a puppet production premiering in May.

Twenty people of all sizes - big and small - are needed to manip­ulate the puppet characters. No preparation will be necessary to audition. However, it is a very physical show, and a knowledge of stage movement would be help­ful to those who audition.

The adult-oriented production is by theatre and dance faculty members Mike Malkin and Al Schnupp. Malkin describes it as a "puppet theater modem dance" that explores themes of human ritual and authority.

Performances will be at 8 pm Thursday and Friday, May 14-15 in the Theatre. For more informa­tion, call Malkin at ext. 1465.

Juggling clowns to close series

Two juggling clowns will dazzle theatergoers in the final perfor­mance of the 1991-92 Cal Poly Arts CenterStage Series at 8 pm Wednesday, April 8, in the Theatre.

Bob Berky and Michael Moshen, known as The Alchemedians, are veterans of New York's Big Apple Circus.

Moshen is an artist who works with air and objects - mostly balls and rods. Berky is a silent clown from the " old school" whose material is a combination of old and new.

What they do isn 't that unusual; they juggle and they clown. But the way they do it makes the dif­ference . They are polished profes­sionals who dare to be poetic and to create beautiful, mesmerizing

shapes from common, moving objects.

The first juggler to receive the "Genius" grant from the Mac­Arthur Foundation, Moshen col­laborated with Berky in the crea­tion of The Alchemedians. They performed off Broadway in 1986 and have toured throughout North and South America.

Only preferred seating remains for The Alchemedians show. Tickets are $10 for the public and $8 for students and senior citizens. For reservations call the Theatre Ticket Office at ext. 1421 between 10 am and 4 pm Monday through Friday.

Feminism in art topic of April 6 talk

Speech Communications faculty member and artist Janis Edwards will present "Women Artists and Social Change, 1970-1990" at noon Monday, April 6, in the Staff Din­ing Room.

The talk, part of the Women's Studies Lunch Time Seminar, will examine art as feminist protest rhetoric. Edwards will discuss feminist artist Judy Chicago's "The Dinner Party," as well as other works that function as arguments in favor of feminist ideology.

She will talk about the Guerilla Girls, an organization of anony­mous women art professionals who use confrontational tactics, theater and performance, and contempo­rary marketing strategies to try to improve the status of women in the art world and society.

Edwards has been a participant and observer in the feminist art movement since 1974.

For more information on the Women's Studies Lunch Time Seminar, call Margaret Camuso at ext . 1258 or Carolyn Stefanco, ext. 2854.
