GERALD CASEL DANCE / NOT ABOUT RACE DANCE Gerald Casel, in collaboration with dance artists Styles Alexander, Audrey Johnson, Karla Quintero, and Cauveri Suresh, will premiere their latest work, Not About Race Dance , Dec 2-11 at CounterPulse in San Francisco. Not About Race Dance critiques the unmarked predominance of whiteness in US postmodernism. It cites Neil Greenberg’s Not About AIDS Dance to connect the silence around the AIDS epidemic and the unac- knowledged racial politics of postmodern dance. Occupying a space defined by white artists, it contests the structural endurance of white postmodernity by disidentifying with the white cube activated by Trisha Brown’s Locus and asks how difference can be made visible through choreographic structures that historically do not make space for brown and black bodies.

Printz Dance Project Nov 4-6, 11-13 at Joe Goode Annex
Through personal text, storytelling, and dance, Ink and Bone centers on the experience of living with chronic pain. As a win- dow into one person’s journey, this piece hopes to be a conduit to the universality of these often hidden experiences. This is an honest, at times heartbreaking, at times humorous, and consis- tently vulnerable exploration.
