SUMMARY:MAPP: Mission Arts & Performance Project
DESCRIPTION:Launched in 2003\, the Mission Arts & Performance Project (MAPP) is a homegrown bi-monthly\, multidisciplinary\, intercultural happening that takes place in the Mission District of San Francisco. On the first Saturday of every even month of the year\, the MAPP transforms ordinary spaces\, such as private garages\, gardens\, living rooms\, studios\, street corners\, and small businesses into pop-up performance and exhibition sites for a day/night of intimate-scale artistic and cultural exchange among a kaleidoscope of individuals and communities.\n \nRED POPPY SCHEDULE:\n7:15pm: Sara Marinelli\, “January in the Blood” (A Lyric Essay)\nSara Marinelli reads a lyric essay about her family’s story.

SUMMARY:"The Audience" Artist Reception
DESCRIPTION:The Poppy invites you to join the artist and curators behind its first exhibition of 2017\, The Audience. On view until April 2nd\, this current body of portraits seeks to celebrate an eclectic group of people from history\, pop culture\, and somewhat forgotten history. \nBorn in the glamorous city of Buenos Aires\, Argentina\, Michelle L. Morby is a multi-media artist who has worked in both analog and digital photography\, video\, installation\, performance\, happenings\, and now paintings as performance. It is her staunch belief that the creative idea dictates the medium.

Covarrubias and Lundy view this exhibition as an opportunity for visual and performing art to come together\, to nourish\, inform\, and challenge one another\, and to create an experience that is greater than the sum of its parts.\n  \nEVENT DETAILS\n \nTime: Event 2:00PM\nAdmission: Free\nAll ages are welcome.\n

Hermesdorf brings over 20 years of experience from the field\, studio\, and stage to her work and holds a BFA and an MFA in Dance Performance + Pedagogy. \nStephanie Maher is known for her breathtaking physicality and for creating works that express a unique blend of intimacy\, sensitivity\, and wild humor. Improvisationally structuring and unknowingly creating a life of curating dance between the urban environment and nature\, Maher’s focus has deepened towards the small networkings of the international dance scene\, creating avenues of support for self-realized and non-profit organizations. This includes the facets of liminal\, spontaneous\, curious and outspoken performance installations that occur within the permissible space of Ponderosa work and art made at home. \nKeith Hennessy dances in and around performance. Born in Sudbury\, Ontario\, he currently lives in San Francisco and tours internationally. His performances engage improvisation\, ritual\, and public action as tools for investigating political realities. Practices inspired by anarchism\, critical whiteness\, punk\, and queer-feminism motivate and mobilize Hennessy’s teaching\, writing\, and dancing. He started practicing contact improvisation in 1979\, the same year that he discovered body-based performance art. Hennessy directs Circo Zero and was a member of Contraband with Sara Shelton Mann from 1985-1994. \nAbby Crain is an Oakland-based artist who makes dances and other structures for performance. She also works in the field as a teacher\, performer\, writer\, and curator. Her curatorial projects include the NO THANK YOU SHOW\, which asked artists to represent or stage work that has been rejected by granting organizations\, theaters\, collaborators\, or the artist herself; the NON MAJOR SHOW\, which asked artists to show work not in their primary medium; as well as being on the curatorial panel of FRESH Festival. \nSara Shelton Mann has been a choreographer\, performer\, and teacher since 1967. In 1979\, she moved to SFCA and started the Company Contraband as a performance group and research ground\, combining the principles of contact\, systems of the body\, and spiritual practice into a unified system of research. Her Movement Alchemy training is an ongoing teaching project and is influenced by certifications and studies in the metaphysical and healing traditions. Sara’s performance work is a platform for collaboration and research in consciousness. \n \nABOUT FRESH FESTIVAL:\nFRESH Festival 2017\, the 8th annual Festival of Experimental Dance + Performance in San Francisco\, celebrates and showcases the abundance of embodied art\, action\, innovation\, and inclusion in the Bay Area from January 2-22\, with three immersive weeks with intensive practices\, cutting-edge performances\, and interactive exchanges.

SUMMARY:FRESH Exchanges: Experimental Structures ft. Amelia Uzategui Bonilla & Hana Erdman
DESCRIPTION:In collaboration with FRESH Festival 2017\, the Red Poppy Art House is pleased to present FRESH Exchanges\, free and by-donation events made to cultivate\, cross-pollinate\, invigorate\, create access\, and generate outreach within and outwith the dance\, music\, and performance communities. These interactive exchanges include Experimental Structures on Tuesdays\, January 3\, 10\, 17. Hosted by Abby Crain and José Navarrete\, Experimental Structures invite artists working on the edge of their form to speak about their work\, share excerpts of current projects\, and lead group discussions. \nOn January 17th\, artists Amelia Uzategui Bonilla and Hana Erdman share and discuss their works. Bonilla’s 15-minute performance piece from The Myth of the Manta is a multi-generational\, bilingual expressive arts performance and workshop experience developed with communities of children and adults dancing with handwoven mantas\, a cultural symbol of feminine\, indigenous wisdom. Erdman’s 365 routines looks at the emotional production of choreography through notions of companion practice and technologies of friendship and collaboration. In this piece\, two artists take turns making eight counts of movement on a daily basis in order to arrive at a one-year-long choreography.\n \nABOUT THE ARTISTS:\nAmelia Uzategui Bonilla (Peru/USA) dedicates herself to arts education\, performance\, and social justice. In 2013\, Amelia co-founded Rio Danza Comunitaria\, a cultural organization dedicated to promoting human integration and environmental consciousness through the arts\, based in Lima\, Peru. She is a graduate from The Juilliard School and the Tamalpa Institute and resides in Oakland\, CA.  \nHana Lee Erdman is a dance artist who works with choreography and curatorial practices\, approaching performance from both embodied and relational sensibilities. Her work generates a space of public intimacy and sensitivity\, proposing the practice of being together as a creative one. She wants to see what and how we can do together in order to create potential for transformative experiences through subtle and subversive shifts of power and exchange. Hana has a bachelor’s degree in Art History from UCLA and a master’s degree from the University of the Arts Berlin (HZT). \nAbby Crain is an Oakland-based artist who makes dances and other structures for performance. She also works in the field as a teacher\, performer\, writer\, and curator.

He studied dance at the National Institute of Fine Arts in Mexico and has a BA in Anthropology from UC Berkeley and MFA in Dance from Mills College. Currently\, he leads the Guerilla Performance Group and curates and produces the Live Arts in Resistance (LAIR) initiative at Eastside Arts Alliance\, which provides residencies and performing opportunities for artists of color in East Oakland.
