The Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 set the bar for equitable physical access to facilities and public accommodations. Bathrooms are handicap accessible, buildings have elevators, stairs have handrails, Braille signage is posted, doorways are wide enough for wheelchairs, toilets have grab bars and so on What the ADA requirement doesn’t mandate is a mindset of “welcome to this building”. One of the lovely things about CounterPulse is that in addition to having a building that is ADA compliant, there

CounterPulse Interviews: Artist-in-Residency Emily Hoffman

2016-03-12T00:27:22-08:00By Erica Dixon|Categories: CounterPULSE|Tags: Affinity Project, CounterPULSE, Emily Hoffman|

Julie Phelps: Is there a politic to the ways that the work you are developing in CounterPulse’s ARC Program with the Affinity Project is experimenting with duration, repetition and mutability? Emily Hoffman: It might be more of an attitude than a politic, but I do feel an impulse to disrupt certain structural tropes in performance. I'm wary of the structures of narrative theater even as they – the climax, the end – compel me. Even in more experimental work certain structures

"A riot literally tears the city apart. It is a striation...like a skater from the days before skateparks, it sketches invisible trajectories in the urban motif. A shapeless event that eludes reification, even if it relates to rituals, and thus summons the repertoire of tricks and knowledge accumulated by a provisional community bound by a transgressive dynamic."

A proposal- Mica

2016-03-18T21:34:29-07:00By xchange|Categories: (X)Change, CounterPULSE, Mica Sigourney|Tags: CounterPULSE|

Hello Other (X)Changers, I have a proposal for our process. I'm usually drawn to the obvious, or blatant. I am also fascinated by impersonation, doubling and repetition (not just as a compositional tool but also as a process). I propose that our exchange be direct, meaning each of us recreates a work by another in the group. This will provide us with a solid structure and process within to work (rehearsals, learning each others work), and coupled with group conversations

When I dance…

When I dance... Nadhi: “I can feel a deep love for God and an emotional connection to human-kind. Particularly when I perform, that connection can be so strong, that I forget where I am and who is watching. I find that I keep dancing to chase those moments. Sophia: “Dancing excites me, challenges me, moves me, pushes me, humbles me. It is the single most thing that makes me feel completely and truly alive.” Arun: “I enter the zone. My mind

Rhizozygotic twins beat the frozen odds

Scientific American, 14 June 2007 Emmett and Otto Ramstad present a fascinating glimpse into the diversity of biology. They are rhizozygotic twins. Rhizozygotic twins are an extremely rare form of multiple birth, enabled by the wonders of assisted reproductive technology. On September 20 1975, an egg, or blastocyst, was harvested from the Ramstad twins’ mother Josie Winship and cryogenically frozen. Four years later, in January 1979, Ms. Winship decided to have the frozen egg thawed to try for pregnancy.

It’s amazing how much better a meal tastes when there’s a seat at the table for everyone.
