After an epic evening running the gamut from graphic EcoSexual demonstrations to operatic fishmongering to new political parties to Huffington Post live blogging (literally) to Argentine Tango and protests within protests, tonight's audience had plenty to react to! We captured some of this live, in the moment feedback to share with you. Even if you couldn't be with us tonight, you still have two more chances this weekend to immerse yourself in the CounterPULSE experience! Agitprop Cabaret - Audience Reactions
Our May Day Festival got featured on the SF Guardian's Pixel Vision blog today. Caitlin Donohue gave a great write up explaining the event and sharing a bit behind why we invited certain performers.

More about May Day, the full line-up and tickets! Only 2 days and counting!

Well another year and another tour. We closed the show in Paris last night and as always it was pretty amazing. There is nothing quite like stumbling out of a theater near midnight, delirious from a combination of adrenaline, wine and exhaustion and being cast in the sparkling lights of the Eiffel Tower. It is one of the smoothest experiences we have had at the Salle Adyar, the theater in which we perform in Paris. It poses plenty of challenges
The staff decided to shoot a video flyer for our big fundraiser coming up in May. Felt hearts, mustard, hot choreo and iphones. Need I say more? To see the line up and by tickets visit the May Day page on our site
the beginning... my favorite part everything seems possible and the threads of connection are just barely starting to show themselves. At the beginning, I spend a lot of time drawing, painting, imagining, and (i wish less often) buying/collecting objects. the visual component of the work is hugely crucial for me. here are some preliminary paintings i've done for the set inspiration for Hot Wings and some amazing finds from Scrap (a decoy deer and waves of tiny birds) how will these
Do you all remember that Baz Luhrman spoken word tone poem from the late 90's "Everybody's Free to Wear Sunscreen?" It starts "Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of '97, Wear sunscreenIf I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it." Well my version, if I wrote it this week would read "Travellers and adventurer's in the year of 2010, bring your passport. If I could offer you only one tip for traveling (especially on
Before getting into much let me say I am beyond humbled and thrilled and terrified and ecstatic about this residency. First, the staff at Counterpulse are amazing. This feeling of being supported is both delightful and totally foreign, but it's a feeling i could get used to. so first, and for real THANK YOU to all the CP folks. Second, I can't believe Joe Goode will be mentoring this project. I dont even have words for this... more on that
Writing that title makes me remember my self-scripting teacher in undergrad, Rosemary Quinn, and how she would so clearly and ritualistically STATE the date at the opening and closing of each of our sessions. It has stuck with me. And its funny, I use it for all sorts of things. When I'm having a sad or rough patch in my day (or week or year for that matter), I tend to find some sky to look up at, and I
