  present Memoirs of the Sistahood- Chapter Two: House\, October 16\, 17\, 
 23\, & 24\, 2009 @ 8pm at Barnevelder Movement/Arts Complex. \n\nThe Beaul
 lieu sisters are back with a new multi-media production based on their sha
 red memories of home in 1950s Louisiana. Chapter Two is the second show in
  their Memoirs of the Sistahood series of collaborative works with choreog
 raphy by Becky Beaullieu Valls of Houston\, sculpture by Babette Beaullieu
  of New Orleans\, and film by Deborah Schuildt of Anchorage. \n\nChapter O
 ne (2007)\, introduced us to the six Beaullieu 'sistas' (Beth\, Becky\, Ba
 bette\, Bonnie\, Bitsy\, Barbara...and brother Buster) with their rich mat
 riarchal ancestry and archetypes\; Chapter Two focuses on the house. Throu
 gh choreography\, film\, and sculptures worn by the dancers layers of imag
 es\, and ideas flush out the sister's memories of the chaos of growing up 
 in a large Catholic family\, with its shared spaces\, and private places.
 \nThe performance touches on the social-economic aspects of our contextual
  ideas of home both past and present\, and comments on the 'stuff' we poss
 ess and what we truly value. Humor is woven with gut reality as a 1950s ho
 usewife dances with a box of Cornflakes and gives the audience pointers on
  how to be a 'good wife'. The performance promises to give the audience fo
 od for thought (or to choke on) as it examines our needs for possessions a
 nd what makes a house a 'home'.\n\nChapter One premiered at Diverse Works 
 Houston through a Performance Artist Residency Grant in 2007 and was perfo
 rmed this past April 2009 at the Contemporary Arts Center\, New Orleans\, 
 through a National Performance Network Residency. Centered on the dynamics
  of six sisters\, Chapter One captures the evolution of sisterhood with al
 l of its poignancy and humor. Scenes from Chapter One will be shown before
  the performance of Chapter Two each night.\n\nStart time: October 16\, 17
 \, 23\, & 24\, 2009 \n@ 8pm
