About the Performers
Kenny Yun barely survived his teenhood in Lettucetown, scarred by reruns of Dynasty. Thanks to his friends. Come see his full length show at The Marsh weekends in June.
Lambeth Sterling previews portions of “Love and Sex in the Spin Cycle.” A super size load of arduous affairs, Bible belt babble and classic cult confusion, also to appear in full at The Marsh, June 3rd. Lambeth has studied with Bay Area’s best— David Ford, Charlie Varon, Nina Wise, and Amy Muehler
Since 1990, Violet Juno has performed and exhibited her multi-media work at over 70 theaters and exhibition spaces in 30 cities in the United States, Canada and Scotland. Venues include Highways in Los Angeles, Museum of Modern Art and PS122 in New York and Banff Centre for the Arts in Canada. Juno’s storytelling is often multi-sensory incorporating the use of kinetic and fragrant props, soundscapes, flamboyant costumes, live video projection, and an unique form of cognitive mapping. This new work explores the intriguing dynamic between language and language(less)ness including Juno’s experience with idioglossia—or twin language.
Angela Neff has performed her original works at The Marsh; The Exit Theater’s Thursday Night Combo; and with the beloved Wool Street Gang. Her current piece, “Picnics at the Asylum,” tells about growing up with her father, as he goes from being the funniest Dad in Silicon Valley, to the funniest street person on San Jose’s Skid Row. It can be seen in it’s entirety on Wednesday, July 8th at The Marsh Theater as part of their Rising Series.
