LCC - SPA presents Broadway's Bill Bowers in "Beyond Words"

Student Production Association of Lane Community College presents the one-man show “Beyond Words” featuring Broadway actor Bill Bowers.

One the most acclaimed multi-disciplinary artists in America today, Bill Bowers employs an eloquent mixture of music, monologue, and mime in his on-going investigation of the silence surrounding the enigmatic matters of gender in our culture today.  Often compared to Chaplin and Keaton, he has performed throughout the U.S., Europe, and Asia. 

For “Beyond Words,” Bowers draws his characters from life and moves beyond mere anecdotes to create a vibrant and visual poetry. With both audacity and compassion, he explores how culture informs gender, what it means to be a male, and the messages we receive on our way to becoming men. “Beyond Words” is an evening of honestly earned laughter linked to surprisingly powerful emotions; words, movement, and mime are yoked to remarkably striking effect. He can call himself a mime, but, in truth, Bill Bowers is in a category all by himself.
