A new dance theater piece made in collaboration by dancers Daria Kaufman and Bianca Brzezinski, and composer Richard Warp.

Dancers Bianca Brzezinski and Daria Kaufman, and composer Richard Warp are raising funds for a new dance theater piece premiering at NOHspace's Sound is the Movement Series on February 6th and 7th, 2012 in San Francisco. They are trying to raise $1500 for artist fees, documentation (videography and photography), and rehearsal space fees. 

The piece approaches sound and movement as communication – its deconstruction and (re)formation. Taking audial and physical cues from the audience, each other, and a pre-recorded score, the three artists perform a dialogue wrought with misinterpretation, interruption, and occasionally, understanding. Richard's live, electronic noisescape acts as accompaniment and intruder throughout the exchange, setting all three performers on equal footing. 

The team has been collaborating for the past several months and is thrilled with what rehearsals have yielded. Richard has crafted some beautiful soundscapes, and Bianca and Daria are breaking new ground with their experiments in speech and movement. It's been hugely inspiring for them to work together and develop a synergy across artistic disciplines.

Following the February show, Bianca, Daria, and Richard plan to continue working on and developing the piece for future performances. They have just begun to scratch the surface of cross-disciplinary collaboration and are eager to continue honing and developing the unique performance language they've created. 

This piece is funded in part by a grant from the Zellerbach Family Foundation. Even with their generous support, more funds are required to adequately pay the three artists for their many hours of hard work, plus documentation and rehearsal space fees.   

Please support them by making a donation. Any amount is welcomed and deeply appreciated. 

From Bianca, Daria, and Richard: thank you, thank you, thank you!
