----/ The Squid List /-------------------------------------------------- Kunst Stoff presents ETC & Less Sylphides
Thursday Sept. 29 through Sunday October 2 8:00pm-10:00pm $18 ----/ Event Description /----------------------------------------------- Kunst Stoff presents ETC & Less Sylphides Choreographer Tomi Paasonen's new work "ETC," premiering at ODC Theater is a choreographic exploration and group improvisation dance piece featuring 5 dancers, live sound design, live camera and projections based on the principles of chain reactions, using the means of repetition, copying, looping, feed-back, amplification, alteration, mutation, distortion and translation of information from one medium to another. Insect Funeral is recording an improvised monologue spoken by a different dancer each night. This recording will be sampled and manipulated during the performance to create sound design and music that both influences, and is influenced by, the dancers. Each performance will be unique. Live video interactions are generated in a similar way by Aaron Wolf Baum, Ph.D. Less Sylphides choreographed by Yannis Adoniou at ODC Theater is complete with integral lighting, and stunning visual landscapes. Filmmaker Austin Forbord and fashion scientist/sculptor Galya Rosenfeld are an integral part of this performance; their work illustrates the dialogue between past and present. Yannis has explained the slight alteration to the title came about because "The idea of "Less" makes a point that in our times we are very far from the Romantic era, something that "Les Sylphides" is all about." KUNST-STOFF is a San Francisco-based dance-theater company that creates experimental and eclectic "art forums" under the artistic direction of Tomi Paasonen and Yannis Adoniou. The body of KUNST-STOFF consists of 10 versatile dancers and two house choreographers Tomi Paasonen and Yannis Adoniou. KUNST-STOFF's main language is dance and movement that opens a dialogue between multiple forms of artistic expression. We aim to bring the most interesting and talented performance and visual artists, dancers, musicians, composers, writers, film makers and personalities under one consensual umbrella, to create cohesive, dynamic experiences that provoke change as they educate and entertain. The themes, genres and participating artists vary with every KUNST-STOFF event resulting in vibrant happenings that expand our ever-growing community of artists and audience members. We are committed to break barriers between the different dance techniques and transgress the traditional use of theater. Ultimately KUNST-STOFF is an expression of the diversity of the city of San Francisco in all its kaleidoscopic splendor. ----/ Venue Info /------------------------------------------------------ ODC Theater 3153 17th Street @ Shotwell San Francisco 415.863.9834 http://www.odctheater.org ----/ Additional Info /------------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.kunst-stoff.org/ ----/ The Squid List Admin /--------------------------------------------- The Squid List, a tentacle of Laughing Squid http://laughingsquid.org/squidlist/ subscribe, unsubscribe, change your email address or change your subscription options: http://lists.laughingsquid.org/mailman/listinfo/squidlist/ Frequently Asked Questions & Submission Guidelines Squid List FAQ: http://laughingsquid.org/squidlist/faq.html The Squid List Online Calendar: http://laughingsquid.org/squidlist/calendar/ The Squid List RSS Feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/squidlist ----/ Laughing Squid /-------------------------------------------------- Laughing Squid http://laughingsquid.com underground art and culture from San Francisco and beyond Laughing Squid Web Hosting http://laughingsquid.net friendly, dependable and secure web hosting services for artists, individuals, bloggers, non-profits and small businesses Copyright (c) 2005 Laughing Squid.
