| Rhonda Morton |
Rhonda Morton (
Alligator Mouth Improv) is teaming up with
Owen Walker (
Action Theater Bay Area) for a romp into the wilds of mind, music and madness.
Each has performed at
Moment's Notice in the past, to much acclaim.
This is the first time we'll see them together as a trio — such a tantalizing combination!
(That's Rhonda at right. Sadly, the fountain will not be able to appear at Moment's Notice.)

| Rebecca Bryant |
Dancer/Improviser/Choreographer
Rebecca Bryant creates performances
that combine movement, text, video, sound and objects. Known for her “wonderful insistence on making
art about complex ideas” (Janice Steinberg, San Diego Union Tribune), Bryant is
interested in blurring the lines that separate artistic disciplines as she
addresses current societal phenomena.
In
addition to solo work, she is an active collaborator, creating performances with
Lower Left Performance Collective (dance/theater)
and the
Past Modern Performance Duo
(dance/percussion/new media). She has
danced with renowned and emerging choreographers including Victoria Marks, Nina
Martin, Wally Cardona, Kim Epifano, Shelley Senter, Lionel Popkin, Liam Clancy,
Marianne Kim, Randé Dorn, and Manuelito Biag.
Bryant has performed her work across the US and in Canada, Mexico,
Argentina, Spain, Germany, Romania, Denmark, Norway and Sweden, with projects being
supported by residencies at Djerassi Resident Artist Program (California) and
Guapamacátaro Art and Ecology Residency (Mexico).
Dance critics have called Bryant’s work “humorous,
subtle, and provocative” (David Lemberg, Artscape Media), “exploding with
suggestions” (Zachary Whittenburg, Chicago Dancemakers Forum), and “a stunning
and witty experience.” (Nancy Wozny, Dance Source Houston) Bryant currently resides in Indiana where she
is Assistant Professor of Dance at Purdue University, and continues to travel
the world teaching ensemble improvisation, contact improvisation and
contemporary technique.

| Cathie Caraker |
Cathie Caraker is an itinerant dance artist, teacher and performer. She has studied, taught, researched and performed widely, deeply and trans-continentally in the field of New Dance for 30+ years.
Cathie says that, as always, she is deeply grateful to the MoNo gals for this opportunity to no-know a bit more.

| Vitta Joy |
Kim Criswell and
Victoria Pizzinat Joy improvise from their senses with humor and musicality to create playful, body-sound-and-soul-based, physical theater. On this Sunday before spring equinox, they'll seek inspiration from (human) nature. Perhaps they'll find balance between darkness and light.
