Tuesday Sept. 27 at 11 a.m., Dmae Roberts talks with dancers Gregg Bielemier and Catherine Egan who are featured in Imago Theatre's Zugzwang (Sept. 29 - Oct. 22). This is the fifth installment of creator Jerry Maowad's Opera Beyond Words series. And in the last part of the show we'll also learn how the Oregon Shakespeare Festival overcame a potential disaster this summer.

On Tuesday, Sept. 13 at 11am, Dmae Roberts presents two audio tours. First we go backstage at Triangle Productions's new space. Managing Director Don Horn shows us around "The Sanctuary" and tells us how he produces a season of plays. Then we go to Cascade Locks, OR and talk with sculptor Heather Soderberg and find out how she creates large-sized statues. Finally Dmae has thoughts about the loss of summer.

Tune to into Stage & Studio on Tuesday, August 30th at 11 am on KBOO 90.7, when we'll learn all about the art of social practice. First, producer Tali Singer presents a feature story on street librarian Laura Moulton. And in the second part of the show, Dmae Roberts and Macon Reed talk with Jen Delos Reyes and Harrell Fletcher of the Social Practice program at PSU, and Macon takes us on a tour of the Portland social practice scene.

Social practice is a non-traditional art form that's all about engaging the public. But it's more than just street theatre. Social practice art can use just about any medium, as long as it's interactive and gives people a chance to be a part of the art.

On Stage & Studio 8/16 11am on KBOO 90.7 FM, writer/artist S. Renee Mitchell talks about the Natural and Proud People Inspiration project, a celebration of natural African-American hair. Mitchell also runs Twysted Healing Systahs, an organization that empowers women of color. And Dmae remembers Carolyn Holzman, a beloved Portland theatre artist and teacher.
