May Day: CounterPULSE’s Third Anniversary
Flavorpill, Tanya Feldman, April 27th, 2008
Excerpt:
In appreciation of three years of CounterPULSE’s nurturing and indispensible presence in the Bay Area’s performing-arts world, dancers from a variety of companies have filled the roster for this anniversary event. Among the artists performing are Butoh dancer Shinichi Iova-Koga of Inkboat, as well as members of the Joe Goode Performance Group, whose narrative dances are always accompanied by equally innovative local musicians (Carla Kihlsted and Beth Custer have both scored their work in the past). A silent auction is also taking place, with proceeds going to the maintenance and development of CounterPULSE.

Excerpt:
May Day: CounterPULSE’s 3rd Anniversary Show is the perfect time to be reminded of all the good stuff the cutting-edge arts space with a distinctly DIY streak has produced. There won’t be any bizarre fertility rituals, but kind of like May Day itself (a mishmash of ancient customs harmonized by raucous merrymaking), the celebration augurs lots of pure spectacle, bringing together eight of the most innovative movement and performance artists to have graced the venue in the past three years.
