From Russia and Rothko with love

After a wonderful first week of Bay Area performances over in the Roda Theatre, several members of the In Paris team ventured across the courtyard to take in the evening performance of Red. What better way to unwind than with a trip to the Rothko studio? Even the man behind the mustache himself -- Mikhail Baryshnikov, of course -- took in the passionate performances by David Chandler and John Brummer. Now that Red's been extended until May 12, maybe David and John can glean some movement lessons from the other master who's taken up residency at Berkeley Rep.
