Sara Shelton Mann/David Szlasa: "Shapeshifter"
La Alternativa (formerly MOTIONLAB): "the other edge of there is here"

"...feral impulse and raw beauty..." - SF Weekly

An evening of concert dance with new work by Sara Shelton Mann and David Szlasa in collaboration with Maria F. Scaroni, Justin Morrison, Leslie Seiters and the newly named La ALTERNATIVA (formerly known as MOTIONLAB / Kathleen Hermesdorf and Albert Mathias.) in collaboration with Elaine Buckholtz.

"Shapeshifter" asks how we make maps at the crossroads of our lives-our liminal territories. The dancers explore what it is to hold simultaneous realities within one body - combining distinctly different states such as midnight and noon, coast and ocean. The lush piece fully engages the viewer with three video cameras on stage, capturing and projecting the dance from every angle inside and out.

"the other edge of there is here" is a performance/installation created in collaboration with Light and Visual Designer Elaine Buckholtz on the projection of self and body beyond laws of physics. It is a giddy experience of dislocation and relocation -- activating the ability, often only experienced in vivid dreams or memories of finding yourself elsewhere with only a moment's notice.

$18 General/ $15 Seniors/Students/Children 12 & Under.
