As you may or may not know, today is Giving Tuesday. A day where we can repent with our dollar, and generate enough warm fuzzies to obliterate any feelings around what we do with our money every other day of year. Another day where the forces of mass communication can commodify, essentialize, and spin yet another aspect of our lives: our right to community participation. Giving Tuesday is giving us at CounterPulse a moment to reflect. We reject the notion
Dear CounterPulse Community, We have an important update regarding the 80 Turk Project. The opening performance of our 80 Turk Inaugural Season, will in fact, not be happening at 80 Turk.

Appropriately enough, the season, creations from artists variously working in New York, Austin, Ireland, Berlin, and the Bay Area, offers a kaleidoscopic set of reflections on metamorphosis whether in the context of the immigrating body, the racialized body, or the consumerist body. This process of renovating brick-and-mortar is consonant with a set of artistic inquiries
An update from the field, with CounterPulse executive director, Tomás Riley. With support from the James Irvine Foundation’s Exploring Engagement Fund CounterPulse recently celebrated the stage premier of Como la Tierra/Like the Earth in Salinas, CA.

The result of her residency here was the CONTACT project, which brought together veterans and non-veteran civilians to discuss that which “appears” to divide these groups -- war. Now in its next stage of development, KD/MovingGround in collaboration with The Arts @ CIIS and Veterans Book Project brings us
