Falling Off 

August 5th, 2016 7pm at Grace Cathedral, San Francisco

Kinetech Arts presents Falling Off, an exploration into the interactions between the world and our physical bodies and the transformation experienced over time. This performance is part of the Soundwave ((7)) Biennial Architecture event at Grace Cathedral.

In the beginning of a long journey is the phase of purification, a letting go of the details of your life by shedding thoughts and distractions. Intense physical practice is often employed as a vehicle to quiet the active mind. By entering the labyrinth, we reflect on the tension between the desire of letting go and the instinct of holding on.

Choreography: Daiane Lopes da Silva
Dancers: Shareen DeRyan, Maria Sotnikova, Keryn Breiterman-Loader, Amelia Eisen, Neta Singer, and Raquel Santiago Santiago.
Live Music : Erick R. Scheid

Magic Spirals

November 15, 2015 at Dance Hack Day, San Francisco, CA, USA.

Magic Spirals is a dance and technology performance by Stanford Scientists Don Kimber and Maribeth Back, and dancer Raquel Santiago. Magic Spirals explores the magic of spirals through dance, music and technology.

Spirals combine rotation with upward and downward movement. Spirals and the movement, may be real or illusory. They are mathematically profound, and like fractals are self similar and invariant across scale. Spirals and helices are all around us, and within us, from our DNA to the galaxy we live in. Even a healthy heart actually has the structure of a spiral. We celebrate the spiral through dance and seek ascension, working from the foundation of our grounded selves, then spinning, we rise, ever upward, ever higher. Our perspective changes, from within, to without. We reach a state beyond our selves to a transcendent
state of Self, connecting us with each other and all that is.
