Why does the But that year became two and then three and soon, after teach- ing English for almost 15 years, Bianchi decided he was ready for something else.

One of his main goals during his four-year term is to make government more transparent. He has succeeded in getting transcripts of Inuyama City Council meetings published and is working on getting them tel- evised.

In “Booted,” a gaggle of women wearing sequined gowns, combat boots and high heels on their hands stomp out flamenco-inspired rhythms in humorous games of one-upmanship; in “Welcome Back” she explores cliques. Dean is also interested in environments. In “Away From One’s Front” the performers descend on the stage with the ordered chaos of a rainstorm, all while traveling backwards. “Moon Garden” transports us to an otherworldly dimension through the use of small, bouncy balls.
