AIRspace presents

Macklin Kowal's Divine Light (photo)
Divine Light is an ensemble-based piece, tackling themes of tyranny and cruelty, social order, and the body's relationship to systems of power. Engaging with questions of pretense and pretend as they pertain to social hierarchy, the work unravels in a world that is as much built on references to the court of Versailles as it is situated in a grotty shit-hole. Kinetic movement explodes from moments of prolonged stillness, in energetic jolts that neither defy nor affirm station, rank, or charge.

 

 

Liz Tenuto's The Ocean Between Us
The Ocean Between Us is a dance piece surrounding developmentally based patterns of human movement and behavior. Submerged in a manufactured and hot environment, the dance dives into desire, self consciousness and submission. The piece oscillates between distinct historical visions of the medium of dance (traditional, popular, classical and experimental) to summon where the body ends and where the environment begins.

Gray Performs and RAW (resident artist workshop) present

BURST!

BURST is a high-energy one-woman show about madness, modern life, and the timeless quest for wholeness. Working as one of the youngest San Francisco brand namers at the height of the dot com boom, Gray's fate is altered by a Bipolar diagnosis, followed by an tragic familial loss. She finds herself looking for answers in place 7000 miles away: Vietnam. Sparkling with wit and insight, BURST takes its audience on an 80-minute roller coaster ride through the highs and lows of bipolar, loss and life.
