Oguri/Kosaka Collaboration

"Caddy! Caddy! Caddy!"  


Oguri and Honeysuckle dance troupe
featuring: Jamie Burris, Morleigh Steinberg, Roxanne Steinberg

Stage Design: Hirokazu Kosaka
Sound Score: Paul Chavez

Butoh Dancer/Choreographer Oguri and artist Hirokazu Kosaka, two of the most original creative forces in Los Angeles, come together in a new dance work that transmutes the mythic power of William Faulkner's fiction into exalted physical form. Accompanied by Feltlike with Paul Chavez's visceral live music score, Oguri and his dance troupe, Honeysuckle, draw on an uncanny mix of subtlety and stark expressiveness to delve into the heart of Faulkner's gothic family narratives.

Co-presented by the Roy and Edna Disney/CalArts Theater (REDCAT) in association with the JACCC and Electric Lodge, the creation and production of "Caddy! Caddy! Caddy!"/William Faulkner Project was made possible by a grant from the Dance Creation to Performance program funded by The James Irvine Foundation and administered by Dance/USA and the Electric Lodge.

Tokyo ADC Exhibition


A blend of pop, tradition and innovation, this exhibition provides a glimpse into the world of Tokyo Advertising Director's Club. Tokyo ADC promises to showcase some of the most trend-setting minds in commercial visual arts in the world today through examples of logos, print and television advertising, and book and product design.

Simple avant garde, comedic and crisp; the competition to stay ahead of the game is so intense, that these commercial artists explore and discover new ways, and new twists on a few old ways of delivering their products to the consumer market.
