CounterPULSE Summer 2011 Artists in Residence: FACT/SF & Lenora Lee Dance

FACT/SF's "Pretonically Oriented v.3"

"Pretonically Oriented v.3" looks deeply at creative processes and products, proposing the creation of a dance work as a metaphor for the creation of identity. Formative experiences, statements of self, the rehearsal process, and performances are all juxtaposed to have a deeper look at what things are and how they came to be that way.

Featuring: James Graham, Erin Kraemer, and Catherine Newman with direction by Charles Slender.

Lenora Lee Dance's "Reflections"

"Reflections" explores the unraveling stories of three succeeding generations of Chinese men as they redefine themselves in the American context. Storytelling through movement, video projection, Chinese lion dance, and martial arts traces their experience after immigrating through Angel Island - creating community and sense of place as contemporary Chinese Americans.

Featuring: Lenora Lee Dance with Kei Lun Martial Arts & Enshin Karate, South San Francisco Dojo - Lenora Lee, Marina Fukushima, Ronald Wong, Dale Chung, Raymond Fong, Yukihiko Noda, Jon Iiyama, Collin Wong, Evan Chan
