Percussionist Christopher Clarino will present the rarely-performed masterpiece by Karlheinz Stockhausen: INORI. Written in 1974, Karlheinz stockhausen's INORI is a rarely performed, concert-length work for soloist and electronic audio playback. Created by one of the 20th Century’s most notoriously challenging composers, INORI is an exploration of the gestures of prayer and religious ritual as they appear in cultures from around the world. Inside the performance, the soloist makes no sound, and instead moves through a series of meticulously choreographed gestures that coincide with Stockhausen's luminously orchestrated score. This profound work takes the audience on a deeply meditative journey, punctuated by moments of despair and shocking violence. INORI will be performed by San Diego-based percussionist Christopher Clarino, who is currently touring the piece across the United States and in Brazil. As the first person to perform this extremely virtuosic work in the U.S., Clarino's approach to the material is equally rooted in his experience interpreting some of contemporary music's most challenging percussion works, as well as his time as an interpreter of American Sign Language. By merging ritualistic gestures and musical expression, INORI is a unique and moving experience not to be missed.

The Theatre School @ North Coast Rep presents the trivial comedy for serious people, "The Importance of Being Earnest" as its next student production! This masterpiece by Oscar Wilde is probably the most famous of all comedies. It revolves ridiculously around the most ingenious case of “manufactured” mistaken identity ever put into a play. Director Benjamin Cole is proud to present this pinnacle of playful parodies of the “leisure class” in the Victorian era. “The comedy of manners style is so clearly articulated in the back-and-forth banter,” Cole expounds. “We’re gleefully challenging our talented students with precision of physicality and vocal delivery,” he insists. Assistant Director Steve Smith adds, “We've kicked off most rehearsals with lessons on "Received Pronunciation," the most standard form of British dialect. Witty Wildean wordplay wouldn't sound right without the proper accents and our cast has had a great time learning and implementing new vocal techniques!” The show runs a daring 100 minutes with one intermission and hopes to tickle audience’s ears with comic charm and charisma. Additional production staff includes Student Assistant Stage Manager, Basil FitzGerald; Sound Designer, Caleb Foley; Student Assistant Director, Kate Goodman; Stage Manager, Paul Smith; and Lighting and Projections Designer, Liam Sullivan.
