In 1982 in Paris, where I live, I began to fill spiral notebooks, 
writing on the lined pages and drawing on the blank ones. When 
I went out, I ripped out a page, folded it, put it in my vest pocket 
and continued to write in the streets. Last summer in Woods Hole, 
I assembled this cryptic, undated material, begun in one language 
in a notebook and continued in another on a “pocket paper,” and 
presented the music-theatre in the ether for an urban errant with a 
short wave radio. 

After that production, I decided to work backwards in order to apply my hard earned 
rationality and consolidate the trail of ink. The Barbès Notebooks , named for the 
multi-ethnic neighbourhood in which I live, begin on June 22, 2009 in Mid-Atlantic 
and end on April 18, 2010 in an airport in Gerona, Spain. These stories, read script 
in hand, are linked by miniature dances - abstract manifestations of the depths from 
which they arise. 

Eugénie Kuffler was born in 1949 in Baltimore, Maryland. In 1967 she immigrated 
to Paris where she studied composition with Nadia Boulanger, Henri Dutilleux 
and Max Deutsch; electro-acoustical composition with the Groupe de Recherches 
Musicales-Conservatoire de Paris ; flute with Alain Marion, classical voice with Sophie 
Boulin and Yves Müller, ballet with Helène Sadovska, Afro-Cuban 
dance with Daniela Giaconi and now, Graham technique with 
Maggie Boogaart. She was a member of the composer-performer 
collective GERM and a founding member with Philippe Drogoz of 
the avant-garde cabaret ensemble 010. Currently she is a member 
of the 4 women music collective Hot Chills and also plays with 
the Woods Hole Folk Orchestra for the summer contra dances. 
>From 1998 to 2007 she sustained the music-theatre project Etno 
Poesía Cuba . She has created radio works for France Musique 
and France Culture and solo performances for the Biennale 
de Paris, Frauenwoches in Vienna and Hambourg , the Festival 
de Performance de Lyon, Musica Strasbourg, La Muga Caula 
(Catalonia), AccionMAD (Madrid), ArtContact (Helsinki) and 
FEM_10 (Gerona). Each summer since 1998 she has performed 
alone or with high local talent at the Woods Hole Community Hall.
