CTN presents Dance Triple Bill - 3/31 & 4/1 - Sharp & Fine, Detour Dance & Kristin Damrow & Co

The 72 Seasons are a traditional calendar of micro-seasons originated from the hybrid lunisolar calendar adopted in Japan from China in the sixth century. They encourage a deep appreciation for the subtle changes of the natural world and the cultural practices that develop around them. Over the course of a year, CTN and Sharp and Fine have listened to and learned from the stories, memories, cultural practices, and wisdom of various community members, associated with different seasons. Joined by Detour Dance and Kristin Damrow and Company, the artists will share their latest creations inspired by the millennium-old calendar during the 12th micro-season, Distance thunders heard.

Date and Time: Friday, March 31 and Saturday, April 1 @ 8pm
Venue: Theatre of Yugen's NOHSpace @ 2840 Mariposa St., San Francisco
Tickets:
$20 General Admission
$17 With Community Discount code: CTN23

Sharp and Fine (SandF) is a San Francisco-based contemporary dance company co-founded in 2011 by sisters Megan and Shannon Kurashige to facilitate choreographic work that grows out of a shared history of experience in both classical ballet and contemporary dance and a desire for deep collaboration with artists from different disciplines. SandF creates narrative performance work that brings together physically exuberant choreography, emotionally nuanced text, live music, and multi-disciplinary collaboration. Their work is informed by the technical rigor of classical ballet, the human intensity of contemporary forms, and the conviction that telling a story built on personal truths is a powerful and communal act of communication and empathy.

Detour Dance is a devised-theater ensemble that creates bold performances rooted in drag and dance. Founded in 2009 by Eric Garcia and Kat Gorospe Cole, Detour produces immersive and site-responsive experiences that are oriented towards queer lineages and legacies, present-day complexities, and future-facing possibilities. Detour also presents Clutch The Pearls, a monthly vaudeville cabaret for experimental drag performance artists.

Kristin Damrow and Company (KDC) is an Isadora Duncan Award-nominated contemporary dance company. KDC's performances are developed from the physical exploration of the design process through form, space, and human experience. KDC has been commissioned to create work for the FOG Design + Art, Oakland Museum of California, Airbnb Design, among others.
