Five Foot Feat

"A wonderful synthesis of text, dance and music, exciting both for its emotional content as well as its experiments with form." — John Belluso, Mark Taper Forum's Other Voices Project, Los Angeles

"Explore(s) the limitations and difficulties as well as the astonishing capabilities of a one-legged dancer.... Demonstrates the exceptional artistry of Mr. Pilafian's choreography and imagination.... Fun and uplifting as well as a remarkable demonstration of courage and commitment to theater. You will never see anything like it." — Santa Barbara News-Press

• Five Foot Feat is an inimitable dance theatre piece that will be performed one night only at Stanford's Pigott Theater as part of a multi-city international tour. Using live music, spoken text, able-bodied dancers and an amputee, the show focuses on three characters, each of whom faces some limitation or obstacle, and then undergoes a transformation.

• Five Foot Feat was created in the aftermath of Catherine Cole's amputation of her left leg due to cancer. The show premiered at the Center Stage Theater in Santa Barbara in 2001, and was revived in 2002, when it toured to Berkeley and New York City. The current tour begins in Vancouver, and includes, in addition to Stanford, appearances in Santa Barbara, Austin, and Minneapolis.

One performance only! Tickets are available at the door, or by reservation: mandana@stanford.edu">mandana@stanford.edu.
