In an effort to share everything I possibly can about what we're doing, I made a short explanatory video - it's rad and you should check it out! ~Charles Slender Artistic Director, FACT/SF http://youtu.be/pH63NTPSgk4
On a rainy Tuesday morning, FACT/SF's Artistic Director Charles Slender tries to figure out what, really, this project is. We're getting closer.
Often artists, including myself, find themselves pitching a project before they've really gotten dirty with it, before they really know what the project really IS. Nearly a month into rehearsals now, we're learning so many new things. The Work in Progress Showing last week featured some healthy discourse that elicited new ideas and fantastic feedback. Here's a small clip from our showing and what I think about what we're doing. As we continue to work, we'll no doubt unearth even more
Front Line Theatre's newest work, Rare Earth, will be premiering at CounterPULSE on July 8-10 as part of the Summer Special series. But first, everyone should come and check out a Work-in-Progress preview at FURY Factory 2011! We'll be showing 25-30 minutes of the work and having a short talk-back after. Splitting the bill with FLT and showing a brief excerpt of her newest work is Leah Herman. Here's more information about Rare Earth and FURY Factory: RARE EARTH a
I think with Satie's work, especially with this piece, a simple and methodical space is opened that allows the listener to submerge themselves in thought, reflection, and image-building. The work has an emotional quality...but I think it's generated by the listener, and doesn't necessary lie within the score itself. There's something about this that reminds me of one of FACT/SF's goals with Pretonically Oriented...to try to methodically create, organize, and re-configure so that the viewer can watch what unfolds, while
Kybele Dance Theater is finishing up with the last details before leaving LA to go to San Francisco. Only ONE performance in San Francisco. Sunday, June 12, 2011 at 3:30pm .
Here are the first four free-writes, on the shared formative theme of 'first bedroom', from FACT/SF's performers. They each chose eight words or phrases that were resonant to them for whatever reason. These texts, and others like them, form the basic source material for the entire POv Project! swirling upwards, strange, swaying, winds, round, antique, telephone, windowsill brass hook, misty ghost, mom, crazy, next first room, stupid shelves, lego kingdoms, zebra childhood, stepping stone, lava, 80s porn, Laura, doctor, invitation flat cities, at ease, at the top of a hill in a hilly town, first bedroom, all around, my house, in part, even when I am sleeping

Hello! I could not be more thrilled to begin developing Pretonically Oriented v.3 at CounterPULSE via the Artist Residency Commissioning Program. The last few rounds of ARC have produced some truly remarkable works – Kegan Marling and Dandelion Dancetheater most recently, and Jesse Hewit and Laura Arrington last August. So great. Challenging, beautiful, nuance-filled works have become de rigueur for ARC, and I’m psyched to be included in this program and this effort alongside the wonderful Lenora Lee. So. Rad.
This past Sunday was our final performance of, “Our Daily Bread” at CounterPULSE. After a two week run which included 8 sold out performances and one show for students from Mission High School, I am still feeling the overwhelm of such a wonderful, ass kicking, joyous and painful experience that was the making and performing of this work. It has been a journey that felt so right to complete it where it all began-at CounterPULSE. The process was magical in
