Thanks so much to everyone who came to last Saturday's show. We've got the best audiences -- it's so fun. Of course, it helped that we had amazing performers. Diana Lara opened, dancing to sounds of traffic and ocean waves. Vitali's sound scores for NoNo Dance always make me want to MOVE -- this time, he and Rosemary did a witty dance that introduced the "iBox"; they were joined by a violinist who added a touch of intrigue. Andrew Wass's & his group's creativity never fails to amaze; Claire Peaslee's physicality and humor are always surprising: Catherine Debon was so, so French and we so, so related to her solo about bravely facing life's pains. At least, I did! The Brine's music was fresh and quirky.
Our next "regular" Moment's Notice will be on Saturday, August 29.
Before that, though, we have a special event:
Ruth & Bob are Bay Area performance art / improvisation legends -- they're written up in books about improvisation -- real masters of the art.
Ruth co-founded Moment's Notice's home, Western Sky Studio, where she honed & taught her own personal style of improv, Action Theater. She lives in Santa Fe now, so this is a rare chance to see her perform.
Bob was a co-founder of the Blake Street Hawkeyes, the experimental theater ensemble that's famous for being Whoopie Goldberg's old stomping ground, as well as John O'Keefe's, George Coates', and other local luminaries'. He's performed on virtually all the major local stages, as well as on TV & film. He's in the Guinness Book of World Records for a 24+ hour improvisation he did for the Hawkeyes' Actualist's Convention. Insane? Well, maybe insanely wonderful. The July 11 show will be much shorter than that, we promise.

Usually we have tickets available at the door, but this time, reservations are advised!
Hope to see you there!
