Hysteresis July 9, 2010

Fri, July 9 (9pm) and Sat, July 10 (8pm)

San Francisco dance company DOUBLE VISION presents the east coast premiere of Hysteresis. Free from traditional structures and narratives, Hysteresis evokes an abstract dreamscape rich in complex shapes, relationships and points of meditation. The audience is presented with unknown customs, languages, and symbols through movement, sound and the implementation of hysteretic systems. Fleeting patterns dissolve into autonomous polyrhythms and intersecting lines as five dancers slip through light - leaping, twisting, striking, and resisting rest.

DOUBLE VISION creates experimental performances for dance, music, and video that embody the changing landscape of contemporary culture. The company was co-founded by Pauline Jennings and Sean Clute in 2003 and has since performed throughout the United States and Europe. In 2008, the group produced the 4ￗ60 Tour, a seventeen city tour that spanned Los Angles to New York City. In 2009, Clute and Jennings were residents at the Museumsquartier in Vienna and performed in Prague, Zurich and Pecs. DOUBLE VISION's work has also been presented at ODC Theater, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and Yerba Buena Center for the Arts.

Hysteresis features choreography by Pauline Jennings, music by Sean Clute, lighting design by Ben Coolik, costuming by Andrea Campbell and performances by Blaine Bookey, Emily Gorman, Wendy Marinaccio, Jennifer Mellor and Cecelia Peterson.

The development of Hysteresis was made possible through generous private donations, CounterPULSE's fiscal sponsor program, The Garage's RAW Program and grants from the Zellerbach Family Foundation and William and Flora Hewlett Foundation.
