!!!_Wayang Hip Hop_
<br>
 ! Directed by no.e Parker, music by no.e and Rie Watanabe, Kedai Kebun Forum, Yogyakarta, Java, March 2005.
    A collaborative project consisting of paper cut out characters based loosely on wayang animals... this is a continuing project    that has been performed in Kedai Kebun, Yogya Java, as a dub between traditional Javanese singing, Balinese grenteng (bamboo xylophone) playing, the narrator/dalang rapping in Sundanese(west javanese), English, and Indonesian languages, using elements of psychedelic lightshow, and hip hop sampling/ dj live mixing.  This project will evolve further with the collaboration of TeMBi, Javanese cultural center/musuem. The main aim of the project is to educate village children about the earth consciousness and conserving her limited resources in a growing consumer and waste-based economy...

!!!_Semar's Dream_
<br>
!Performance installation, digital media, video footage shot in Indonesia, textiles, bamboo. March 2006.
The original version of this piece was developed as a digital media design for Kathy foley's production of _Damar Wulan the Grasscutter who Would be King_--a traditional Javanese story of the good and rightful heir to the throne conquering the evil forces that have gained control of it.
This incarnation is my first exploration into the concept of performance installation. The character who appears is the wise and flatulent Sabda Palon--a Sundanese version of Semar--  who is an earthly incarnation of Wisnu, and servant to the would be king, Damar Wulan. I have adapted my design for the theatrical production into a short video. The soundtrack, _Wisnu's Avatar_ can be heard [here|http://danm.ucsc.edu/~noe/livejams/wisnu's avatar.mp3]. When there is not a performance going on in the space, it transforms into a chamber filled with visions shot during my two year stay in Java and Bali.
!Gratitude to professor Kathy Foley, Alan Tolefson of the UCSC scene shop,  and Sean Mc Candless.
