LA TIMES REVIEW

NOW is the time to create

The third annual New Original Works Festival adds L.A.-inspired theater and music to the performance mix.

"Particularly impressive was "Sacred Cow," Michael Sakamoto's audacious 20-minute butoh solo set to the seductive sounds of Amy Knoles, performed live by the composer on computer and keyboard, her mallet-swinging as riveting to watch as to hear. Sakamoto, shedding an array of Carry Kim's breakaway attire, alternated from loose-limbed gangliness to frozen-faced smiley dude.

With shredded pantaloons and oddball hat, Sakamoto was a soldier in the war of life. Fluttering under white tulle, he became a gawky caped crusader, a Ginza flapper. Haughty, Sakamoto unleashed his ponytail into a swirling flamenco flip, Knoles thumping with sticks a la Ginger Baker; together their volcanic eruptions created a perfect bravura blend."
