ABOUT THE VANGELINE THEATER PERFORMERS:
KAT MACMILLAN, a performer originally from California has been with the Vangeline Theater since 2003. She approaches acting and performance as sacred ritual and finds in butoh the crucial link between the mind, heart and body. Her work in Mexico with Diego Pinon led to her meeting her love, Claudio, having a baby and settling down south of the border. Now back in New York she teaches yoga, works in photography and studies the Mayan calendar among other pursuits. Other New York credits include her work with the doomefishe theatercompany in : Luis Buñuel's "Hamlet", "Rosa & nini", "In the sea" to name a few.

STACY LYNN SMITH's quest for creative freedom has involved much physical study and personal exploration. Recently, Stacy discovered Butoh, which for her defies definition, being at once dance, performance art, theater and ritual. She has studied intensively with Minako Seki, Katsura Kan, Tadashi Endo, Ko Murobushi, Mari Osanai, Diego Pinon and Vangeline. As part of Vangeline Theater, she has danced in "Nuit Blanche" and "Screen Test". Stacy looks forward to the company’s upcoming show at The Kitchen.

PAMELA HERRON has danced since age 6, starting with ballet and jazz, then moving on to Modern Dance.
At age 16 she was told that she should quit dancing, due to unhealthy joints. She then met shaman and healer Hully Fetiço in San Francisco who trained her for years and told her she could dance again.
A year later, she started training in East Indian dance (Odissi) with The Nupur Dance company and Jyoti Rout. Since then, she has studied and performed African Dance, gypsy style Fire Eating, Acting, and more recently Butoh with The Vangeline Theater and Diego Pinon from the Butoh Ritual Mexicano Center.

pursuing it for the past seven years. Her dance
background also includes modern, jazz, tango,
improvisation and folk dance. Currently she performs
with Desert Sin dance company , the Vangeline Theater, and also works as a
soloist and a glass-walker.
The Dance:
Trance of becoming.
The fact of the dance verifies the soul's lust for otherness.
As we wander through the visions of our many facets we but demonstrate our thirst for what lies beyond.
The Answer:
the wind blew across the water.
The world woke up.
