Together they reach into the belly of the beast to reveal and challenge the breakdown of immunities - corporeal to global - and for connectivity to something greater than the self. Its a journey beginning with themselves and with each other, using shared resources, evolving in the body and love as their primary means of survival. Sneak peek!! (video) |

An evening of new work by Kyra Rice and Kerstin Stewart
December 3 & 4 at 8PM
The Garage 975 Howard St. San Francisco
Working from the assumption that we live in a time when we need to re-imagine our place in the world--how we interact with ourselves, each other and the earth--we create dances of disciplined freedom. Through meditations of symmetrical contact* and scored improvisations revealing authentic emotional states, we gently dismantle the barriers between performance and ritual in order to reconnect with nature--our human nature. 'To remember our beginnings and keep in mind our ever-elusive destination.' (Ben Okri)
*Meditations on symmetrical contact inspired by Maria F. Scaroni's and Jess Curtis' Symmetry Transmission.
