SUMMARY:FRESH Exchanges: Alternative Conservatory ft. Sarah Bouars\, Kristianne Salcines
DESCRIPTION:FRESH 2018 Exchanges offer nine interactive\, inclusive\, and insightful gatherings in the frameworks of RIPE [raw + intimate performance experiments]\, POTLUCK/Social Practice\, and Alternative Conservatory at the Red Poppy Art House between January 9th and 25th. Each Thursday\, Alternative Conservatory is a time to unwind\, connect\, absorb\, consider\, listen\, and discuss with FRESH artists notorious for disarming paradigms and thinking outside the box. For the January 25th Exchange\, Sarah Bouars and Kristianne Salcines present their workshop\, Empathix: Bending Binaries\, Bodies and Building Bridges. \nBy queer POCs for queer POCs\, Empathix is designed to create an atmosphere for serious physical research in togetherness. We will be doing everything together for each other. This workshop will consist of a series of interactive movement practices/play followed by a facilitated discussion around participants’ experiences to build trust and intimacy\, which we hope will allow us to work towards a community. Everyday\, we will begin with breathing together\, practicing yoga\, qigong\, taiji\, and meditation practice\, then leading to physical exercises and practices that focus on play\, love\, visibility\, coexistence\, trust\, empathy\, and serious\, sweaty\, beautifully-ugly inducing moving. Come join us to sweat and heal together. \nSarah Bouars and Kristianne Salcines are both queer people of color\, intersectional feminists\, and are at home in the field of dance/performance-art/choreography. In this workshop\, we want to develop further our concept of “care and share\,” which we created in September 2016 during Queeries into collective feminism at Ponderosa in Stolzenhagen\, Germany. “Care and share” strives to use performance as a tool for community building\, as well as for healing and developing an empathic eye and deconstructing the perceptions of subject and object. It allows us to open up to a much broader idea of what performance\, performer\, and audience might entail or mean. We are working with a concept developed by us called “queer futurism\,” which includes deep ecology\, rituals\, utopian dreaming\, somatic approaches as Tantra\, sex magic\, ecosex\, and a lot of love and radical softness. \n \nABOUT FRESH FESTIVAL 2018:\nFRESH Festival 2018 is San Francisco’s 9th annual festival of experimental dance\, music\, and performance from January 5-27\, 2018. The festival offers four weekends of risk-taking main-stage Performances\, three weeks + weekends of immersive studio Practices\, and 14 social and interactive Exchanges\, hosted by Joe Goode Annex\, Red Poppy Art House and F8 Nightclub in San Francisco\, and Finnish Hall in Berkeley. FRESH 2018 is inspired by and transmitted through the curiosity of 50+ cutting-edge artists from the Bay Area and beyond.\n  \nEVENT DETAILS\n \nTime: Doors 7:00PM / Event 7:30PM\nAdmission: By donation ($5-10) – No one turned away for lack of funds

SUMMARY:FRESH Exchanges: RIPE ft. Sarah Bouars\, Kristianne Salcines\, Kathleen Hermesdorf
DESCRIPTION:FRESH 2018 Exchanges offer nine interactive\, inclusive\, and insightful gatherings in the frameworks of RIPE [raw + intimate performance experiments]\, POTLUCK/Social Practice\, and Alternative Conservatory at the Red Poppy Art House between January 9th and 25th. Each Tuesday\, RIPE [raw + intimate performance experiments] invites two artists who are working on the edge of their form to share excerpts of current projects\, speak about their process\, and hold a moderated group discussion. Facilitated by Kathleen Hermesdorf\, the January 23rd Exchange features artists Sarah Bouars and Kristianne Salcines.\n \nMaybe​ ​in​ ​the​ ​morning​ ​I​ ​say​ ​goodnight​ ​to​ ​you by Sarah Bouars and Kristianne Salcines\nWe have developed a practice and a ritual that helps sustain our existence under our systemic pressures from Berlin to LA. In this work\, we will experience a way of existing that will offer you alternative ways of finding “the antidote” or “the answers” to the systemic struggles we find ourselves into. This work is filled with intelligence in self-love\, fiercely unapologetic existence\, and clever coping mechanisms. How do we celebrate what is here with us now? How do continue to feel when all we want to do is escape and be distant? How do we feed ourselves and each other of love that is there all along. This work will nourish you\, literally. Food will be the string that ties us together\, when what we make on stage becomes food for your minds\, body\, and soul. \n \nABOUT FRESH FESTIVAL 2018:\nFRESH Festival 2018 is San Francisco’s 9th annual festival of experimental dance\, music\, and performance from January 5-27\, 2018.

SUMMARY:Sisu Brassland & Mughal Muesli: Music for Brass & Saxophone
DESCRIPTION:First up on the bill\, Sisu BrassLand performs original music for brass composed by bandleader Aaron Priskorn. Crossing many genres while remaining connected to classical voice leading\, the group creates aural paintings and emotive jams through various textures\, grooves\, and melodies.  \nMughal Muesli then presents tunes from their debut album\, Imperial Cereal\, an exploration of an alternate-historical merging of cultures represented by their most imaginative musical exports. The album seeks to construct a new edifice on the ancient and fertile ground of mystery\, spirit\, and ingenuity shared by artistic traditions the world over. The trio draws inspiration from the contrapuntal mastery of the High Baroque in Europe\, the originators and innovators of Khayyal in the Mughal courts of North India\, and the indestructible spirit of American free jazz. \n \nFEATURING:\nSisu Brassland\n5-piece brass band\nTBA – drums \nMughal Muesli\nXavier Del Castillo – tenor sax\nMat Muntz – double bass\nVicente Hansen – drum set \n \nABOUT THE ARTISTS:\nAaron Priskorn has played trumpet for more than two decades exploring many genres of music\, all while staying true to his classically trained roots. He is often sought after as a guest artist and collaborator for various events and productions throughout the Bay Area. Aaron is a founding member of brass trio Lip Service and larger brass band Sisu BrassLand\, for which he is the bandleader\, composer\, arranger\, and trumpet player. He can also be heard at Grace Cathedral and with Classical Revolution\, Green Street Mortuary Band\, and the rock band Melvoy. Holding degrees from Mannes College of Music (BM) and the San Francisco Conservatory of Music (MM)\, Aaron also teaches privately in San Francisco. \nLearn more: Bandcamp\n \nWhile grounded in the saxophone trio tradition of Sonny Rollins\, Ornette Coleman\, and Henry Threadgill\, Mughal Muesli is a band that seeks to expand and transcend the associations attached to their configuration. Saxophonist Xavier Del Castillo\, drummer Vicente Hansen\, and bassist Mat Muntz draw on elements from early European polyphony\, Hindustani classical music\, and 20th-21st century microtonality to inform their distinctive take on the trio format. Their debut album\, Imperial Cereal\, features original compositions\, deconstructed standards\, and new interpretations of works by Ornette Coleman\, Ivan Wyschnegradsky\, and J.S. Bach. \nLearn more: Facebook | Bandcamp\nPhoto by: F.

SUMMARY:FRESH Exchanges: Alternative Conservatory ft. Dance Studies Working Group
DESCRIPTION:FRESH 2018 Exchanges offer nine interactive\, inclusive\, and insightful gatherings in the frameworks of RIPE [raw + intimate performance experiments]\, POTLUCK/Social Practice\, and Alternative Conservatory at the Red Poppy Art House between January 9th and 25th. Each Thursday\, Alternative Conservatory is a time to unwind\, connect\, absorb\, consider\, listen\, and discuss with FRESH artists notorious for disarming paradigms and thinking outside the box. For the January 18th Exchange\, Dance Studies Working Group presents a panel discussion\, Creating from/in times of crisis. \nFrom environmental disasters to sexual trauma to political upheaval\, this past year has encompassed all of this and more. In this discussion\, we ask how does one create from the tumult or ruins of environmental\, political\, and personal turmoil? What resources are needed? How do we work together to build networks of support and accountability both on and offstage\, inside and outside the studio? How do we\, as individuals invested in the creative potential and resiliency of the body\, look forward collectively to imagine and actively create a better\, more equitable future?\n \nABOUT THE ARTIST:\nThe UC Berkeley Dance Studies Working Group (DSWG) was founded in 2008 by a group of graduate students in the Theater\, Dance\, and Performance Studies Department (TDPS) at UC Berkeley. As dance scholars worked to build spaces for dance research and practice in the field of performance studies\, graduate students focused on dance within TDPS felt equally compelled to find avenues for developing research and honing practices\, thus the birth of DSWG. To this day DSWG exists as a site of inquiry\, exploration\, and discussion for students\, faculty\, scholars\, practitioners\, and community members engaged with dance and movement-based practices. With a focus on process over product\, DSWG serves as an incubator to engage with new research and alternate pathways for knowledge production and dissemination\, and further support dance practices and research that engage with a wide array of social\, political\, and cultural issues. DSWG has been and continues to be generously supported by the Townsend Center for the Humanities.\n \nABOUT FRESH FESTIVAL 2018:\nFRESH Festival 2018 is San Francisco’s 9th annual festival of experimental dance\, music\, and performance from January 5-27\, 2018. The festival offers four weekends of risk-taking main-stage Performances\, three weeks + weekends of immersive studio Practices\, and 14 social and interactive Exchanges\, hosted by Joe Goode Annex\, Red Poppy Art House and F8 Nightclub in San Francisco\, and Finnish Hall in Berkeley.

SUMMARY:FRESH Exchanges: RIPE ft. Gabriel Christian\, Dazaun Soleyn\, José Navarrete
DESCRIPTION:FRESH 2018 Exchanges offer nine interactive\, inclusive\, and insightful gatherings in the frameworks of RIPE [raw + intimate performance experiments]\, POTLUCK/Social Practice\, and Alternative Conservatory at the Red Poppy Art House between January 9th and 25th. Each Tuesday\, RIPE [raw + intimate performance experiments] invites two artists who are working on the edge of their form to share excerpts of current projects\, speak about their process\, and hold a moderated group discussion. Facilitated by José Navarrete\, the January 16th Exchange features artists Gabriel Christian and Dazaun Soleyn.\n \nBlack Bussy by Gabriel Christian\nAn equestrian movement piece \nDazaun Soleyn\nMy choreographic interest is in creating work that utilizes and magnifies the individual power and beauty of each artist in the room. In order for me to explore this interest\, I foster a relationship-based creative environment that works towards finding the harmony between thought-provoking dialogue and rigorously physical effort.\n \nABOUT THE ARTISTS:\nGabriel Christian (t(he)y/(t)him) is a multidisciplinary artist and teacher. After receiving a BA in Theatre Studies from Yale in 2013\, they shifted coasts from their native New York to the Bay Area. Here\, they pivoted from stage performance to reifying queer desire\, gender fluidity (or “juicyness”)\, and black resilience through a broader spectrum of movement arts. They’ve held residencies at Destiny Arts Center\, Finnish Hall\, and This Will Take Time; performed with director Robert Woodruff and choreographers Debby Kajiyama and José Navarrete\, Jess Curtis\, and Anne Bluethenthal; and mounted independent work at CounterPulse\, SOMArts\, and Brava Theater\, amongst others. Ongoing projects include BLACK PRESENCE\, a bricolage exploration of black presence with twenty-nine black and brown artists\, and Lxs Desaparecidxs with choreographer Randy Reyes. Upcoming shows include Revolt She Said. Revolt Again (Crowded Fire) and Queering the Wake (Queer Arts Festival 2018).  \nDazaun Soleyn\, originally from Brooklyn\, New York\, graduated as the University of South Florida’s Outstanding Graduate with a BFA in Modern Dance Performance and Choreography. Upon graduation\, Dazaun was accepted as a trainee at the Alonzo King LINES Ballet School (AKLBS). With AKLBS\, Dazaun has performed works by Sidra Bell\, Kara Davis\, and Maurya Kerr. He has also attended Springboard Danse Montréal where he performed works by Shannon Gillen’s VIM VIGOR Dance Company. His teaching credits include the Alonzo King LINES Ballet Training Program\, University of South Florida\, Gibney Dance Center\, American Ballet School\, Dance Mission Theater\, and ODC Commons.
