CounterPulse Spring 2017 brings forth a milieu of performance makers for a season of works that will be respite from and resistance to the powers that be. We make space this spring season for risk, pleasure, solidarity, conflict, and futurity. CounterPulse is your home for radical ridiculousness, dissident discomposure, and all adjacent anarchic alliterations ; ) We take stock to look forward with our collaborative presentation of Lost and Found: Bay Area Edition, with SFMOMA’s Open Space and Danspace, investigating

The Institute on Aging was kind enough to let us visit with seniors in their day program. Last week, we were guests at the Tenderloin Museum for an evening of what we called Oral Portraits. At the event, we asked attendees to to let us take their portrait while they

Fifteen Minutes with Five Feet Dance: Beyond the Process

Transcription by: Jazlynn G. Eugenio Pastor (Five Feet Dance Collaborator) Joyce: I don’t know if it’s really questions, but this whole process has really forced me to relook at both my pride and shame of being Chinese; really having to- It’s made me go back.
