Seattle
Gilbert & Sullivan Society
www.pattersong.org
The Seattle Gilbert & Sullivan Society is pleased to present a short introduction to our next production, the ever-popular HMS Pinafore for our new friends at Crown Hill. This is the show that catapulted Gilbert and Sullivan to greatness since it featured the sailors of the Royal Navy as heroes and made fun of pompous bureaucrats of the day. The music is memorable and witty and the show features the patent Gilbert “Topsy-Turvy” happy ending. It is great entertainment for children of all ages. The half hour presentation will feature some of our present and past “stars” with Producer Mike Storie narrating and Glenda Williams accompanying.

Theresa Elliott

www.tajyoga.com
This year the Taj will open its doors, hang a back drop, and become
a performing arts venue. Four original yoga dance compositions choreographed
by Theresa Elliott will be performed by Taj teachers and students:
“Standing Pose Vinyasa," 1991: Based on lateral and sagittal
standing postures as defined by yoga master B.K.S. Iyengar, this work
is performed by April Kieburtz. Music: Pink Floyd's Us and Them.
“Eventide," 1997: Flamenco dance and mudras (hand gestures)
inspired this work performed by Laura DeFreitas. Music: Tchaikovsky's
Coffee: Arabian Dance from the Nutcracker.
“Pommel Horse: Variations on Hanumanasana," 2008: Performed
by Dylan Noebels and accompanied by the fabulous Bill Mathews on drum,
this work is based on the movements of a gymnast on the pommel. Six
variations of Hanumanasana (splits) are presented in this highly kinetic
piece.
“Mowgli Walking: The Lure of The Quadruped," 2009: In this
latest work performed by Theresa Elliott, the human activities we
do on two feet are transferred to animals on all fours. Music: Henry
Mancini's Baby Elephant Walk.
