From the Executive Director

Everyone has a voice.Shouldn’t yours be heard?

Don’t take your voice for granted. A weak, breathy, hoarse, scratchy,strained, or graveled voice often indicatesa problem. Hoarseness lasting longerthan a few weeks probably isn’t“laryngitis.”

Dr. J. Michael King treats the fullspectrum of ear, nose, and throatdisorders. He is an otolaryngologist and afellowship-trained laryngologist (voicespecialist) providing care to singers,performers, and professional speakers.

As one of only a few specialists in the Western region who performsminimally invasive officeprocedures, balloon sinuplasty, and laser surgery, Dr. King isalways willing to take the time to explain options to help you decide what treatment is rightfor you.

Services and treatments include-• Minimally invasive office procedures of the throat and sinuses

• Laser surgery of the vocal cords

• Treatments for pre-cancerous lesions or early throat cancers

• Microsurgery for vocal cord polyps or cysts

• Botox injections for spasmodic dysphonia

• Voice restoration for vocal cord paralysis

• Esophagoscopy and evaluation for reflux

Scene 3: The Measure-worm Rock (Native American) A flock of birds flies about. Noticing that it is very dry, they migrate to other climes. A dreadful drought ensues. The animals, from small to the large, suffer in the heat. Finally a tiny cloud appears on the top of a tall mountain. One by one, each animal jumps, trying to catch the cloud. They fail. The tiny measure-worm appears. It inches up to the very top bringing down the cloud. It rains. The animals dance in celebration.

Scene 4: The Skunk Song Corey Dargel introduces his troubadour band of extinct animals.

Scene 5: The Stag and the Lion (Jean de La Fontaine)A stag, performed as a duet of male dancers, admires his large, beautiful antlers. Then he catches sight of his scrawny legs, reflected in the pond. They embarrass him. A lion suddenly gives chase. The stag is slowed down when his magnificent antlers get caught in the trees. The lion catches his prey.

Scene 6: The Ant and the Chrysalis (Aesop)A busy, productive ant notices a chrysalis just sitting, doing nothing. The ant disdains it. Suddenly it feels a breeze. A beautiful butterfly emerges. The ant chases it in awe.

Scene 7: The Ant and the Dove (Aesop)An ant colony hurries about it business at breakneck speed. One falls, but none of the other ants take notice. A dove sees the ant’s struggle and comes to its rescue. But just as the dove frees the ant from peril, a lion spies the dove is about to attack, when - a gnat distracts the lion from its prey. The ant and dove are saved.

Scene 8: The Gnat and the Bull (Aesop)A bull munches on grass. A gnat flies about thinking itself very important, so important in fact, that the bull is paying attention only to it. The bull could care less. When the gnat brags, the bull eats it.

Scene 9: The Belly and Its Members (Aesop)The members of the bull’s body - the legs, feet, arms and head - get annoyed with the stomach. They do all the work while the belly just sits there. They rebel, detaching from the lazy belly. Gradually the members loose strength and begin to wither. They return to the belly and united, find strength.

Scene 10: We Have Lost Our Taste For Acorns Based on Lucretius’ text On the Nature of the Universe, the song points out how quickly fashions come and go while the human appetite remains insatiable.

Scene 11: The Ant and the Cicada (Jean de La Fontaine)An ant colony hurries about it business at breakneck speed. The Cicada prefers a peaceful pace. Gradually she convinces the ants to slow down and change to a less reckless way of being.

Scene 12: The Forest and the Woodcutter (Jean de La Fontaine)A woodcutter promises no harm and then wields his axe.

Scene 13: Butterfly Dreams (Chuang Tzu)The Chinese Daoist fable shows that man and butterfly are connected as one and the same being, sharing nature.

This performance will be presented without an intermission.

LYRICS

FABLES ON GLOBAL WARMING

All lyrics and music by Corey Dargel© 2012-13 Automatic Heartbreak (ASCAP)

01—THE MARRIAGE OF THE SUN

The sun decides that he is lonelyMaking everyone’s day but his ownHe decides to take himself a wifePerhaps another starSomeone to brighten his own life

The birds and the beesAre filled with delightThey know how these things go“Now every day“Will be twice as bright“We must let everyone know”So naturally they made a b eelineAs they sang“Let it be knownNow two suns will shineWhere once only one sun had shone”

No more rains, no more fogsAll rejoiced except the frogs Who thought, “One sun is bad enough“We’ve had enough“So we shall take a harsh stand“Two suns will dry up our marshlandOur world will come undoneUnder more than one sunOur world will come undoneUnder more than one sun”

02—THE TORTOISE AND THE HARE[no lyrics]

03—THE MEASURE-WORM ROCK

The air is so dryNo rain in yearsWe can’t even cryWe’ve run out of tears

The sun can be so unkindDoes it think we don’t really mindSome say it does careThe sun is awareFrankly I find that droubtful

There has gathered a crowdTo jump for the cloudFirst to jump is the mousePoor mouse, don’t grouseThen came the ratBut she was too fatNow the raccoonShoots for the moonWell the wild boar, big and strongGets it all wrongFinally the massive grizzly bearTakes to the air

The meager measure-wormClimbs inch by inchSlow as everSquirm by squirmAchieves the elusive endeavorEmotions overflowAs it rains down below

04—THE SKUNK’S SONGI am a big thicket hog-nosed skunkAnd if I get sick it’s because I am drunkIt’s the best way to copeWith the absence of hope

Hee is Carolina ParakeetBut alas she could not competeListen to the Passenger Pigeon squealBecause none of us is really real

Or to put it more succinctlyWe’re performing for you extnctlyAnd after the curtan closesEach of us decomposesSo while we’re still hereWhy don’t we have another beerWe can drink to the icebergs shrinkingWe can clink to the distnctionBetween my extinctionAnd your extinction.

05—THE STAG AND THE LION

A tirdty stag drinks from a poolAnd stares at his reflection in the waterAt first he brags about the length of his antlersAnd thinks no other stag could be hotter

But short-lived was the stag’s splendorFor as he adjusted his positionHe saw his legs, weak and slenderHis confidence shifted to inhibition

(A lion appears and chases the stag. The stag skillfully outruns the lion, until his antlers get caught in a tree. The lion catches him and eats him.)

“Woe is me”He cries with his last breath“Woe is me”As he contemplates his own death“Why did I feel so ashamedMy legs could’ve kept me aliveBut instead I shall be maimedWell, at least my antlersAt least my antlers shall survive”

06—THE ANT AND THE CHRYSALIS

Look at this poor ChrysalisImprisoned in his shellHe isn’t feeling well, is heWell we are very busy very busy very busyAnd we will not abide the infractionOf this stupid pupa’s lack of action

07—THE ANTS AND THE DOVE[no lyrics]

08—THE GNAT AND THE BULL

GNAT: You are moving so slow nowDo you mind if I go now

BULL: Well, I didn’t even notice you were hereAnd I don’t give a damn if you disappear But if you insist that I should greet youBe forewarned: I might just eat you

09—THE BELLY AND ITS MEMBERS

Stupid stomachDopey drowsy bellyGetting in our wayWe work all daySweaty and smellyWhile youEat all the grassAnd pass all your gas

Why don’t you just leave us aloneWe will survive on our own

10—WE HAVE LOST OUR TASTE FOR ACORNS

We have lost our taste for acornsWe’ve disgraced this place with car hornsIn our race to seize the unseizedWe have chased away the wild beastIn our haste to please the displeasedWe have chased away the wild beastAnimal skins have gone out of fashionSo begins the dawn of dispassionOf fluorescent costumes and glitterOf excessive exhaust fumes and TwitterWe subsist on our lack of contentmentSo we exist in a realm of resentment

We have lost our taste for acorns

11—THE CICADA AND THE ANTS

CICADA: When spring comes aroundI emerge from undergroundTo make my mating soundMy song of sexual urge

But with the temperature rising every yearThe season of spring will soon disappearWhen I really wanna copulateWhen I really wanna procreate

Maybe it’ll help if I strike a poseeven more and more proudlyMaybe if I sing the notesEven more and more loudly

ANTS: We ants cannot concentrateYour cicada song is too loud and too lateWhy don’t you quiet down, do a little danceAnd give up on romanceYour species really has no chanceWe bid you farewell, adieu, so longAnd we trust that you will be quittingQuitting your ear-splitting songThen at last we won’t be distracted by youThere is always so much work we must do

12—THE FOREST AND THE WOODCUTTER

WOODCUTTER: This axe I wield is brokenGood news for youA woodcutter disarmedMeans you won’t be harmed

But may I ask for a token from youA broken branch or twoThen I’ll go elsewhereI swear, I swear

“Ha!” Well that would be niceBut here’s some adviceNever turn your backsOn a man with an axe

SKUNK: An axe-man actually seesThe forest for the treesUntil the forest isn’t thereUntil there’s no more breathable airNo more shade from the sunOh, if only trees could runForgive me my disgustAt this deceit and abuse of trustForgive me my fervent passionBut why must everything unjustSeem to always be in fashion

13—BUTTERFLY DREAMS

In your nightly human dreamYou are a butterflyWho never wonders whyShe is a butterfly

Then this beamOf sunlight hits your faceAnd you awake back in placeBack in the human race

But the butterfly, as she sleptAlso dreamed, she dreamed that she was youShe knew exactly whoShe was passing through

You hugged your pillow and weptOn behalf of the butterfly‘Cause butterflies cannot cryThey barely live, then they die

Before you come completely undoneRemember nature and you are oneAnd when you dream about anything that lives and diesIt dreams of you likewiseWhen you dream about anything that lives and diesIt dreams of you likewise

3productions (Passing Strange and Hair, which garnered her a tony® nomination), videos for Madonna and Michael Jackson, several Merchant-Ivory films and Cirque du Soleil’s 2012 tent show, Amaluna. In 2009, she was awarded France’s most prestigious award, Commandeur dans l'orde des Arts et des Lettres. She is the 2012 recipient of the prestigious artist-in-residence grant at the Chinati Foundation, founded by artist Donald Judd in Marfa, Texas.

She has directed operas from the baroque and contemporary repertoire for prestigious houses of Europe, including Teatro di San Carlo in Naples, Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris, the Lyric Opera in Athens, Het Muzik Theater in Amsterdam. She choreographed The Cunning Little Vixen in 2011 and A Dancer’s Dream in 2013 for the New York Philharmonic and provided choreography for Marie Antoinette, by playwright David Adjmi, at the American Repertory Theater Harvard and Yale Repertory Theater.

Her work has been the subject of two documentaries made for television: The South Bank Show (1985), directed by David Hinton and Wild Ballerina (1988), directed by Mark Kidel. Armitage is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship and was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of the Arts from the University of Kansas in 2013.

Corey Dargel (Composer/Lyricist) is a Texas-born composer and singer-songwriter whom the New YorkTimes calls “one of the more original and consistently provocative artists pushing at the margins of modern classical music and adventurous pop” and whom Minnesota Public Radio describes as “a wonderfully difficult artist to define.” Dargel has shared the stage with artists ranging from Owen Pallett and Joanna Newsom to the Brooklyn Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra, the string quartet ETHEL, and the electric guitar quartet Dither. His latest commercial album is Someone Will Take Care of Me (New Amsterdam Records, 2010).

Doug Fitch (Visual Director) is a visual artist, director and designer and the artistic director of the company Giants Are Small. He first collaborated with Karole Armitage on a production of The Cunning Little Vixen for the New York Philharmonic, which he designed and directed. His much acclaimed production of Le Grand Macabre, which featured a live-filmed, projected miniature theatre, was also produced for the New York Philharmonic by Giants Are Small. His other works include A Soldier’s Tale with Pinchas Zukerman and F. Murray Abraham, and Peter and the Wolf at the Los Angeles Philharmonic. His other projects include Elliot Carter’s opera, What Next? conducted by James Levine; Hansel and Gretel for Los Angeles Opera; and Das Rheingold for the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra.

BIOGRAPHIES

Karole Armitage (Choreographer) is the Artistic Director of the New York-based Armitage Gone! Dance Company founded in 2004. She was rigorously trained in classical ballet and began her professional career as a member of the Ballet du Grand Théâtre de Genève, Switzerland (1973-1975), a company devoted exclusively to the repertory of George Balanchine. In 1976, she was invited to join Merce Cunningham's company, where she remained for five years, (1975-1981) performing leading roles in Cunningham's landmark works. Through her unique and acute knowledge of the aesthetic values of Balanchine and Cunningham, Armitage has created her own “voice” in the dichotomy of classical and modern dance, and is seen by some critics as the true choreographic heir to the two masters of 20th century American dance.

Known as the “punk ballerina,” Armitage created her first piece in 1978, followed by the iconic Drastic-Classicism in 1981. Throughout the 80s, she led her own New York-based dance company, The Armitage Ballet. Commissions from the Paris Opera Ballet and American Ballet Theatre led to choreographic commissions in Europe throughout the 80s, 90s and into the early 2000s. She set new works on companies including the Bolshoi Ballet in Moscow, the Ballet de Monte Carlo, Lyon Opera Ballet, Ballet Nacional de Cuba, The Washington Ballet, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, The Kansas City Ballet, The Greek National Company, The Bern Ballet and Rambert Dance Company. Armitage served as director of the 45-member Ballet of Florence Italy (1996–2000), the Biennale of Contemporary Dance in Venice (2004), and as resident choreographer for the Ballet de Lorraine in France (2000–2004). After her company's successful season at the Joyce in 2004, Armitage's focus shifted to creating her New York-based company, Armitage Gone! Dance.

Armitage is renowned for pushing the boundaries to create contemporary works that blend dance, music and art. She is inspired by disparate, non-narrative sources, from 20th century physics, to 16th century Florentine fashion, to pop culture and new media. In her hands, the classic vocabulary is given a needed shock to its system, with speed, fractured lines, abstractions and symmetry countermanded by asymmetry. Music is her script and she has collaborated with contemporary and experimentalist composers such as Rhys Chatham, Vijay Iyer, Lukas Ligeti and John Luther Adams. The scores can be marked by extreme lyricism as well as dissonance, noise and polyrhythms. The sets and costumes for her works are often designed by leading artists in the contemporary art world, including Jeff Koons, David Salle, Phillip Taaffe and Brice Marden.

Armitage’s work is at once both esoteric and the popular. Having choreographed two Broadway
