An Evening of Contemporary Dance & Butoh
Inspired by Charlie & the Chocolate Factory

Created by Christine Coleman

Combining contemporary dance and Butoh, Stop Motion (her signature style), sign language & clowning, Christine Coleman's (sogono.org) new evening length work Gobstopper Influence takes an imaginative look at beauty, darkness, machines and their malfunctions, human flaws, and creatures of knowledge, refracted through the prism of her favorite childhood movie “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.”

An Evening of Dance & Physical Theatre Improvisation by

Nina Wise with Annie Kunjappy

In Leap Year, award-winning SF artist Nina Wise and long-time collaborator Annie Kunjappy attempt to ride the surging crest of the precarious present, fueled and beleaguered by memories of the past, seduced and inspired by the imagination of the future. In this work, narrative emerges from a robust physicality. It's dance, it's word jazz. It is accessible, exciting, unpredictable, and miraculously relevant to the issues of the moment. Leap Year will feature both solo and duet work.

"You leave a Nina Wise performance uplifted, as if you've seen something fresh, moving and above all deeply human." — Ashland Tribune

"Simply being in the same room with this consummate improviser for a couple of hours is to watch the unknown unfold before your eyes. .. I was deeply moved and entertained ... Wise distilled something of the complexity of living in today's world into something bizarre, brave and beautiful." — SF Weekly

"Annie Kunjappy is freaking marvelous..." — The Well Nourished Moon, San Francisco
