Apr 19 - 22: Thur - Sat @ 8 p.m., Sun @ 5 p.m. Drawing inspiration
from the feminist battle cry, "NEVERTHELESS, she persisted,"
NEVERTHELESS IS A COLLABORATION WITH THE BAY AREA'S ALL-women Cat Call
Choir, surveying the field of gender-based harassment from the subtle
to the violent, in a marriage of song and dance, comedy and horror.
Organized in a series of 16 vignettes of varying length, NEVERTHELESS
INTERWEAVES THE COMPANIES OF CAT CALL CHOIR AND KA*nei*see |
collective in an exploration of forms of harassment that will feel
familiar to some and frightening to others.
Work on NEVERTHELESS BEGAN IN 2016 BEFORE ELIZABETH WARREN'S BRUSQUE
SILENCING ON THE SENATE FLOOR, and well before the #MeToo movement
gathered steam over the last four months. Responding to a
work-in-progress showing last year, Heather Desaulniers wrote for
Critical Dance:
"While indeed a heavy work, Chianese also cleverly injected moments of
humor, like the Dance Theater-inspired smiling sequences. And moments
of hope. The most significant observation for me...was the eye towards
sisterhood and shared understanding."
The dancers in NEVERTHELESS INCLUDE CLARISSA DYAS, Mallory Markham,
Madeline Matuska, Rebecca Morris, Emma Salmon and Vera Schwegler. The
vocalists of Cat Call Choir include Heather Arnett, Funmi Awopetu,
Mika Banks, Blair Bodie, Chelsea Brown, Rosanna Chiu, Mercilee
Jenkins, Celine Alwyn Parker, Bhumi Patel and Ali Toia. The creative
team includes lighting designer Linda Baumgardner and costume designer
Carol Salmon. MORE INFO:
