On November 20, see. think. dance. and Studio Rue Dance collaborate with Luggage Store Gallery artists-in-residence, Chris Evans and Ernest Jolly to add an installment to the larger work of "Community Property".
Community Property exists as a conversation between artists and the sights and sounds of San Francisco's, oft-mentioned, too-often neglected Tenderloin district.

The Nzoto Installation, which premeieres at MoAD on December 16, is an ongoing work which expands on the energy of “Kitezo” - a state of the body that can represent the inner being and the emotion of the limbs. Kitezo encompasses references to past, present, and future in a way that is both tangible and abstract and wholly about the creation, the embodiment, and the passage of life.

For this collaborative preview, Studio Rue Dance also includes the energies of former DANCEfirst! artists, Sheena Johnson/Rebel Home and Marshall Trammell/Mutual Aid Project Trio.

Participating Artists, Dancers and Musicians:
Chris Evans, Ernest Jolly, Bobby (drums), Pretty (guitar), Strong (vocals)
Marshall Trammel, David Boyce (Saxophone), Mark Fassett (Guitar/Bass)

Community Property is a project developed by the artist team of Chris Evans and Ernest Jolly. The team is Artist In Residence at the Luggage Store Gallery Annex, The Tenderloin National Forest, www.luggagestoregallery.org.
Community Property is a multi-media project that incorporates dance, music, video and visual art. Chris and Ernest collaborated with community members and professional artists to explore the existing creativity of the neighborhood. The collaborations developed video, sound recordings and movement in response to the area. There is also a project to extend the green space of the Tenderloin National Forest through the creation of mobile wheelbarrow gardens.
