November shows

This Wednesday I’m very much looking forward to Voicehandler reprising the live score to Kerry Laitala’s performance cinema work The City Luminous: Electric Salome. Check out this great documentation of a performance at ATA last year: https://vimeo.com/160186940


Wed, Nov 9. 8:00 PM Gray Area [2665 Mission St. SF]
Perpetual Motion, Program Five: Spectres
Kerry Laitala + Voicehandler / Raha Raissnia + Panagiotis Mavridis / John Davis

In evoking liminal states of consciousness through the use of custom-made screens, elaborate projection arrays and multi-planed, layered imagery, the works on this program explore imagined histories, the nature of memories, literal and metaphoric travel and motion. Kerry Laitala’s THE CITY LUMINOUS: ELECTRIC SALOME (with live soundtrack by Voicehandler) celebrates the groundbreaking light/costume/dance innovations of Loie Fuller (1862–1928) as a progenitor of Performance Cinema itself while imagining the fantastical Panama Pacific International Exhibition presented in San Francisco in 1915.
