8 - 9 p.m. Socializing and Music

Program Notes
Surrender ... Chase ... Embrace ... This series of lyrical and playful duets explores themes which echo the tides of relationships. Music by Liz Story.

Three Riddles
In China, women of high birth used to "taunt" their suitors with impossible riddles to ward off unwanted intrusion. ("Turandot" in Puccini's last opera is an example.) Here, "Three Riddles" are like stanzas of a poem, a lyrical invocation of "Cultural Symbolism," communicated personally not academically. It is a search for essence beyond nationality, gender, and type.

Mermaid
"Mermaid" is a piece about the discovery of a great and hidden value, enacted as a "fairy tale" segment of four fishermen in a great China Sea discovering and adopting a mermaid. It is also a piece about the mingling of cultures and values as the mermaid accepts her new people.

Exhibit
The wheelchair and quilt used in the Augustino dance pieces will be exhibited on stage after the program. This is to show how a person with mobility limitations can transcend barriers through various artistic means, such as making the wheelchair into a sculpture.

Gifts created for the event Honorary Chairs, Chairs and speakers will also be on display on stage after the program. These silk paintings conceived by Slobodin Dan Paich, created by Grace Lin and finished in collaboration with Zona Roberts.

Biographical and Background Information
Caroline Boitano
President and Executive Director of BankAmerica Foundation and Administrator of the Bank of America-Giannini Foundation, Caroline Boitano is from Seattle and began her career in teaching before her first philanthropic job at The Babcock Endowment. From there she moved to the National Academy of Science in Washington, D.C. before beginning with Bank of America in 1981. Caroline is very active in the community, serving on several education-oriented boards. Remembering her first contact with WID in the 1980's, Caroline says, "They were literally in a little red school house in Berkeley backn then, and the path to the offices had a maze-like quality because of long corridors." But she found the path and Bank of America has been a major supporter of WID since.

Martin Paley
Currently directing the $30 million Main Campaign to build a new main library in San Francisco, Martin Paley's career is long, varied and distinguished in philanthropy, healthcare and management consulting. A native Californian and Berkeley resident, Martin served in the army before completing a Master's in Public Health at U.C. Berkeley. Long acquainted with Ed, Judy and Joan, Martin, as the Director of the San Francisco Foundation was instrumental in WID's Development Committee and provides general advice and support to the Development Department.

William Tainter
Director of the California State Department of Rehabilitation, a $265 million agency, Bill Tainter is a nationally recognized advocate for people with disabilities. Bill joined the Disability Rights Movement during the 1960's as a college student. He founded San Diego's Community Service Center for the Disabled, Inc. in 1976 and served as Executive Director until he was appointed to his current position by Governor Wilson in 1991. Bill has been connected with WID since its inception. He and Ed met as teenagers in the l950's when they were both at a San Leandro rehabilitation hospital. They became reacquainted during the '70's as advocates in Sacramento. Bill also met Judy in the '70's when he was forced to stay with her at her parents' house due to a terrible New York snowstorm. "We played a lot of Monopoly," he remembers with a laugh.

Victoria Ann-Lewis
Victoria Ann-Lewis is the director and founder of the Mark Taper Forum's OTHER VOICES Workshop. With OTHER VOICES, Vicki has sought to develop plays for television and stage that capture the emerging voice of the Disability Rights Movement. These works include "Tell Them I'm a Mermaid, " "Who Parks in These Spaces," and most recently "P.H. *hreaks: the Disabled History Project." Vicki is committed to the development of writers and actors with disabilities. Vicki began her work with the Independent Living Movement as the editor of the Center for Independent Living's quarterly magazine, The Independent.

AXIS Dance Troupe
AXIS Dance Troupe is an innovative professional dance company based in Oakland , California. AXIS is comprised of four dancers with disabilities and four dancers without disabilities. Since 1987 AXIS has been creating and performing dances that push aside traditional concepts about dance and bridge the gap between the disabled and nondisabled worlds. AXIS is committed to exploring movement possibilities between people of all abilities. AXIS has performed and taught classes and workshops nationally and internationally. Tonight's Dancers: Nina Haft, Bonnie Lewkowicz, Lynelle Sjoberg, Judy Smith.

Augustino Dance Company
Augustina Dance Company is a forum for creation of new and original pieces from diverse cultural roots and uprootedness in American culture and life. The company is a close collaboration between dance-choreographer, musician-composer, storyteller-visual artist and singer-performance artist. In each performance, the company presents some signature material and always collaborates on new pieces with guest artists both locally and internationally. The performances are anthologies of short pieces, disparate and diverse but united by common threads of "quality of heart" and multi-cultural and mythological inspirations. Slobodan Dan Paich, Choreographer, Artistic Director; Collaborating Artists: Kerry Yates, Augusto Ferriols. Tonight's Dancers: Mark Beaver, Peter Brown, Augusto Ferriols, Del Geronimo, Grace Lin.
