Clarissa Dyas (she/they) is a movement artist, creator, and performer with roots in the SF Bay Area. She centers her artistic practice around the intersection of identities and the truthfulness of improvisation including investigating black+asian lineage, queerness, and the belief that movement is a spiritual practice to liberated justice. As of late, they are inspired through their work and mentorships with Johnny Sapinoso and Sara Shelton Mann, combining technical movement modalities with the presence of solo improvisation as the work, process, product, and performance, all in one. Clarissa is most recently in collaboration with Flyaway Productions, Lenora Lee Dance, OYSTERKNIFE with Joe Goode Performance Group and the beginnings of &theruptureisnow in co-authroship with jose e. abad, Styles Alexander, Gabriel Christian and Stephanie Hewett.
Jakob Pek is a musician and artist based in Oakland, CA. His work is experimental and improvisational in nature, harmonizing refined expressions of familiar sonic worlds with journeys into uncharted domains of abstraction and discovery.
About the Work
Clarissa and Jakob are a freshly formed artistic partnership exploring the relationship of movement, sound and space. In Untitled… they compose and improvise together through a reciprocity of creative empathy, playing with the boundaries of what music, dance & theater can be.
