Artists: Artistic Director: Jacqueline Russell
http://www.exploredance.com/article.htm?id=1663
"The name ISH comes from the suffix, ‘-ish', which is used to describe the indefinable,"
This show with out a doubt has numerous types of stunts and dance techniques. All throughout the production are a vary of routines that will take one's breath away. I guess it is safe to that that this is quite a form of art.

Title: "Theatrapy; Khepera: The Evolution of Woman"
Company: The Healing Circle
Dates: February 2009
Artists: Artistic Director: Nzinga
"The main focus of this event is healing through performance by providing an afternoon of natural spa treatments, a healthy cuisine, networking, and a live theatrical performance followed by a group discussion. Most importantly Theatrapy provides the oppurtunity for women in the community, shelters, or rehab to gather together and uplift one another. During our performances, singers, actors, dancers, and musicians celebrate heritage, culture, and enlightenment by sharing stories of hope and triumph and then discussing it with the audience. The purpose is to start much needed conversations about issues that are important to us, from there we can begin the process of healing."

Theatrapy is a great way to show that it is unconventional in various types of work. What we come to find within this experience is truly inside ourselves. Seeing these situations experienced can make a charge into the direction of realising all your inabitions.
3.Title: "Pathway To The Red Sun"
Company: Rogue Theatre
Dates: March 26, 2009 - present

This unconventionally idealistic is on the road waiting for you to pop in and see. All of the mixtures combined in this leave for very interesting but pretty much just flat out weird themes. Although we musent forget the old saying don't judge a book on its cover;)!!!

Throughout the work we start to see from the very start of what is good, things maybe different from what we are use to seeing. Unconventional, yes ..not everthing can be as it seems. Allthough throughout from the creativness it seemed to hav all around represents something special in its own relm.
