The viewer’s attention is guided through projected moving images\, hand-made animation\, and cast shadows with a multi-dimensional soundscape. Collapsing and expanding time\, species will live and die over the span of an hour of looping overlapping\, multichannel\, and multidirectional projection. In a sculptural environment\, our role as animals within a system and as the planet’s apex predator is illuminated. \nAs in proto-cinematic cave paintings and ancient shadow theatre storytelling traditions\, Facing West Shadows seeks to understand non-human species and our relationships with them. Among their inspirations are the Bay Area’s own precarious and diverse ecologies and Eadweard Muybridge’s electro-photographic investigation of consecutive phases of animal movements. By weaving multiple moving images of Bay Area ecologies\, mycorrhizal networks\, fire\, and water\, Facing West Shadows: The Endless End takes the viewer on a time-based and immersive journey through cycles of ecological and species extinction and sometimes\, survival. \nFacing West Shadows principal members: Lydia Greer (artistic director) and Caryl Kientz (theatrical director) in collaboration with artist Ya Wen Chien is a collective of artists\, puppeteers\, filmmakers\, and musicians hybridizing art forms to create magical acts of rebellion as experimental art that is sustainable in the current gold rush climate of the Bay Area. \nFacing West Shadows combines analog shadow theatre with original animation\, video projection of found footage\, and sometimes Opera performed live. Expanding into film\, theatre\, and installation\, Facing West Shadows depicts stories re-imagined with unique visual storytelling to create surprising experiences for the audience by seamlessly combining old and new technologies and art forms. \nFor more information\, visit the project website https://www.facingwestshadows.com/ \nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/CCGu1LZhFrE/ \n\n  \n\nABOUT THE FEATURED ARTIST: \nLydia Greer is a widely exhibiting interdisciplinary visual artist\, filmmaker\, animator\, and the artistic director of Facing West Shadows\, a Lumia arts collective working with shadow casting/ hybridizing art forms to create magical acts of rebellion as experimental art in the gold rush climate of the San Francisco Bay Area. Expanding into film/animation\, theater/opera\, puppetry\, and sculptural installation\, Facing West Shadows creates surprising experiences for the audience by seamlessly combining old and new technologies and art forms. Her layered\, mixed media work includes sculptural and video installation\, hand-made stop motion animation\, single and multiple channel video\, puppet theater\, and works with paper. \n  \nABOUT THE WORKSHOP:  \n\nRed Poppy Art House has partnered up with ShadowLight Productions for free monthly programs by ShadowLight artists for children and families. With instruction and guidance by ShadowLight teaching artists\, attendees will be given the opportunity to make a shadow puppet\, learn performance techniques\, and use our screen and lights to perform their own short plays. This event is appropriate for children ages 3 to 12. \nThis FREE event creates an opportunity for youth in our neighborhood (Mission)\, who may otherwise not be able to attend such an event for lack of funds\, to have access to art education with high-caliber teaching artists. By providing an opportunity to watch\, interact\, and play\, we are encouraging participation and engagement with a vital storytelling art form. Storytelling is an important skill; it helps us to understand ourselves and one another\, encouraging empathy. \n\n  \nShadowLight Productions was founded in 1972 by filmmaker/theatre director/shadow artist Larry Reed. We have served San Francisco as a nonprofit theater company for nearly 30 years. \nThe mission of ShadowLight Productions is to expose the general public to the art of Shadow Theater. The means of providing such exposure includes but is not limited to live theater\, film\, and other media. We strive to preserve indigenous shadow theater traditions and to explore and expand the possibilities of the shadow theater medium by creating innovative interdisciplinary\, multicultural works. \nWebsite: https://www.shadowlight.org/\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ShadowLightProductions\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/shadowlightproductions/\nTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@shadowlightproductions \n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n \n\n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n \nEVENT DETAILS\nSunday\, April 28th\, 2024\nTime: 1:00pm – 3:30pm\nAdmission: FREE and Donation \nNote: A limited number of seats are available for this event. Reserving a ticket guarantees admission\, but does not guarantee seats.
