As part of the pilot CounterPulse Performance and Technology Combustible — a residency model for artists collaborating with creative technologists— we hosted two work-in-progress labs last week for participating artists: Capacitor with collaborator Zach Howard, and Dohee Lee with collaborator Donald Swearingen. Dohee Lee and Donald Swearingen were first to show their work. Dohee is a dancer, vocalist, and musician who draws on the artistic forms and shamanistic rituals of her native Korea to inform her contemporary performance practice. Donald

The Magic

There is an unmistakable magic that occurs when a group of 16 artists fill a room and reveal their craft. 4 people transform into 2 majestic lions… the spirits and essence of the tradition. It’s hard to express the feeling of watching what is in your mind’s eye manifest in front of you, to the glory of your initial vision. Presence, compassion, love, and wisdom. You hear it. You feel it. You know what you are a part of is

Fermented Art

I'm a big fan of fermented foods and drinks: sauerkraut, tempeh, kombucha, rejuvelac, kim chee, wine, beer and more. It's fascinating to me how completely new nutrients and beneficial bacteria develop when we let things settle for awhile. And then how new food and drink is created, not necessarily better than what was originally there, but different and fulfilling other needs. I'm realizing that I love fermented art too. When a project first appears to complete on closing night, I

As the Light Fades

Transitioning back to ordinary life after a performance run is difficult for me. And this particular transition out of performances of Dandelion's Friend has been particularly difficult. Ram Dass wrote and spoke about how as he began to get in touch with larger and more beautiful spiritual experiences--as he got "higher" each time--the accompanying falls afterwards became increasingly painful. These performances were especially "high" for me. I made some big breakthroughs artistically: editing more fiercely, trusting my inner feedback over

Impermanence Made Visible

2016-03-18T22:16:34-07:00By Eric Kupers|Categories: Artists in Residence, CounterPULSE, Dandelion Dancetheater, Video|Tags: Artists in Residence, choreography, CounterPULSE, Dance, dancetheater, dandelion, Eric Kupers, friend, impermanence, Performance, residency, sharon mussen, theater|

My current favorite definition of the word "dance" is: "Impermanence made visible." That seems to cover the immensity and the minutia of this slippery form. I'm particularly in touch with impermanence as Dandelion moves into our premiere of Friend tonight. It strikes me as odd how performance is what I pour my most extreme efforts and longings and strivings into--and then it's gone so quickly after it arises. This is particularly true in the experimental dance world wherein we often
